I help people understand that the ability to change exists inside them. I help them to understand the stages of change and how they can use these stages to effective change themselves and their lives.

My approach to therapy is integrative, which means that I draw from a number of different theories and techniques and tailor my approach to your specific needs and goals. In addition to more traditional western approaches, I find that many of my clients benefit from the integration of mindfulness and self-compassion practices into our work. For more information about my approach to counseling and psychotherapy, please visit my website.

If you're feeling "stuck" in some area of your life - perhaps a relationship, your career, or your own personal struggles with anxiety, depression, anger, or jealousy - then you may benefit from a more active, collaborative form of therapy. I am the co-owner of Integrity Psychological Services. We are a dynamic group psychology practice of 17 licensed and experienced practitioners that focuses on active problem resolution - we will not just nod our heads at you while you speak! Instead, we focus on actively providing you with the tools and techniques that help you to achieve your goals. We utilize the following research-based approaches in our practice: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure with Response Prevention (EXRP) for the treatment of panic disorders, phobias, and other anxiety, EMDR for the treatment of trauma & loss, and mindfulness techniques and the principles of positive psychology which are based on the "science of happiness."

We live in a broken and fallen world. At times life knocks us down and we find it difficult to cope or know what to do. As a counselor it is my job to meet you where you are and together address the concerns you are facing. I work from a Christian worldview and use this as a framework to assist you in evaluating your thoughts, situations, relationships and strengths. Regardless of your religion or faith, it would be my honor to work with you and get you on your desired path.

Working with both Clinical and Forensic populations, I provide targeted Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral (DBT) Therapies tailored to each client's specific needs. I specialize in treating children, adolescents, and adults with Behavioral Disorders (Oppositionality, Anger), Personality Disorders (Borderline, Narcissistic, Antisocial), Mood Disorders (Anxiety, Depression), and Sexual Dysfunction. Additionally, I treat various forensic populations, including individuals convicted of violent and non-violent criminal offenses, perpetrators of domestic violence, sex offenders, and others.

Are you ready to start working on yourself and your healing? If the answer is "Yes," continue reading. Therapy is a very personal experience, so it’s important that you feel comfortable with your therapist. Probably, you experience some stress, sadness, relationship difficulties, trauma, or addiction… or maybe you just need to talk to someone. Also, you might seek help from the therapist because you want to perform more effectively and be the best you can be. You might want to learn to manage your anxiety more effectively, or you may want to learn to regulate your mood so your low moods have less impact on your day-to-day life. You might want to learn to relate better to others. You might want to learn more about yourself, your values, and how this could impact your behavior and others. You might be struggling with changes and want to learn how to struggle less or integrate these changes into your life more easily. And I am here to help and support you in accomplishing these goals. My nonjudgmental approach allows people to feel safe and validated. My lived experience allows me to empathize with my clients, utilizing this to empower and facilitate change. I do not judge you, your lifestyle, or your beliefs; I keep anything said between us confidential. You and your situation or relationship are what is important to me. I offer my clients the opportunity to learn new perspectives and to think about what's happening from a different angle. With me, you will learn to love and value yourself. When a client learns to manage his or her thoughts, the client can alter how they feel and make new choices about behavior. I want to help you where you are right now.

Hi! My name's Abi, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Ohio and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) in Washington. I have a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and I'm also certified as a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I'm trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and I hold a specialized certification in religious trauma. I have experience working with people experiencing attachment issues, complex trauma (CPTSD), religious trauma, PTSD, mood disorders, and relationship issues. My particular focus is on religious trauma due to the deep and often hidden scars it can leave that show up in our daily lives. I love being able to provide a safe space for clients to explore and process their experiences, recognizing the profound impact that religious environments and beliefs can have on an individual's mental health. Our childhood experiences play a significant role in shaping our current behaviors and emotional patterns. I'm dedicated to understanding each client's unique journey and creating a therapeutic environment where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered to show up as their authentic selves. In my work as a therapist, I adopt an integrative approach with an emphasis on mindfulness based methods, tailoring therapy to meet the individual needs of each person, however my main approach is attachment based. This means that I work on building a trusting, validating, compassionate relationship with each client while simultaneously encouraging growth. I know that every healing journey is distinct and personal, and I love being able to help clients navigate their own paths to healing, fostering resilience and growth along the way. Whether you're dealing with the complexities of trauma, struggling with mood disorders, or facing challenges in your relationships, I'm here to support you. I'm committed to helping you explore and heal from past wounds, learn how to be compassionate towards yourself, and build a more fulfilling and balanced life. I'm grateful to be a part of your journey toward healing.
