Aaron is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Ohio. His training and certifications provide specialized treatment of unwanted/compulsive sexual, gaming, or technology behaviors. As well as the treatment of the traumatic impact of intimate betrayal and the developmental trauma experienced in childhood. He is trained in using EMDR – please ask about this type of treatment and if it could be a good fit for you. As a licensed counselor, he is competent in treating a variety of mental and emotional disorders and problems individuals and couples may face. Aaron has some Gottman Method Couples counseling training and is a certified SYMBIS facilitator for premarital counseling.

Aaron is generally easygoing but will not hesitate to confront and challenge his clients to help them achieve their goals. Sometimes, we must learn to face life how it is and not how we wish it to be. Usually, this allows for some effective change, creating a life that is more like we want it to be. His typical approach to treatment includes identifying the problem through interviews or assessments, pursuing a deeper and more robust understanding of those problems through reading or other homework, and then collaborating with the client to resolve the root issues through evidence-based interventions. Often, therapy includes psychoeducation - meaning Aaron will share information about the brain, impacts of trauma, diagnosis, treatment options, and healthy emotional and relational dynamics, among other topics, with clients based on their needs. Aaron’s primary goal is to help you achieve peace in your body, relationships, and anywhere else you feel chaos and disorder. We will work together to define what that peace looks like for you.

Before joining the team at Intact, Aaron worked in an inpatient psychiatric unit at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center for almost four years. In this role, he audited documentation, trained colleagues in crisis management, and led groups for adolescents suffering from anxiety, depression, psychosis, substance use, eating disorders, and other mental health concerns.

Aaron is an adjunct faculty member at Grace College and Theological Seminary in Indiana, teaching online in the Department of Graduate Counseling. He is a doctoral student at the University of the Cumberlands in Counselor Education and Supervision. He is expected to complete his Ph.D. in 2028.

Aaron believes counseling is a collaborative relationship and empowering process for those he is privileged to serve as their counselor. Intact Counseling believes you cannot take a client further than you have gone yourself, and Aaron is committed to personal and professional growth.
