Find a Therapist in Columbus, OH

Healing is not a one-size-fits-all journey, and you do not have to walk it alone. Whether you are a young mother trying to navigate the beautiful chaos of parenting, an adolescent processing deep hurt, or an individual ready to break free from the weight of anxiety, depression, or religious trauma, I am here to meet you exactly where you are. As a trauma-informed clinician, my practice is built on the unwavering belief that your past does not define your future. I blend traditional evidence-based modalities with creative, experiential therapies to provide a deeply personalized approach to healing. By incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), I help clients identify and reshape negative thought patterns, while anchoring our deeper work in family systems therapy to explore how generational patterns and relationship dynamics affect your current well-being. Because talk therapy is not always enough to express complex emotions, I frequently integrate art therapy and play therapy into my sessions, offering a safe, nonverbal outlet for adolescents and adults to process trauma, build resilience, and communicate their inner worlds. My practice focuses heavily on supporting individuals through specialized life transitions and deep-seated challenges: Young Mothers & Parenting: Helping young moms build confidence, develop practical parenting skills, and navigate the identity shifts of motherhood. Adolescent Trauma & Family Dynamics: Guiding teenagers through complex trauma while using family systems techniques to foster healthier communication and boundaries at home. Church & Religious Trauma: Providing a safe, deconstruction-friendly space to process spiritual abuse, religious guilt, and the complex grief of leaving or reevaluating faith communities. Anxiety & Depression: Equipping you with tangible coping mechanisms to manage overwhelming symptoms and reclaim your daily life. At the core of my therapeutic philosophy is a commitment to holistic self-betterment. I am passionate about helping clients cultivate profound self-awareness, self-respect, and a deep understanding of their inherent self-worth. Together, we will build a sustainable foundation for self-care that honors your mental, emotional, and relational health. Beyond the Office I practice the same self-care I encourage in my clients by filling my free time with things that bring me peace and connection. When I am not working, you can usually find me outdoors, hiking with my kids and soaking in natural beauty, playing with my energetic German Shepherd, or unwinding at home with a quilting project. You deserve a space where you are fully seen, safely heard, and genuinely respected. If you are ready to take the next step toward a more empowered, self-aware life, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

You’re doing the best you can, and it still feels like something’s missing. You don’t know what that something is, but you know when it was taken from you. I know because I’ve been there, and I want to help you. Starting with a new counselor is extremely difficult. I always tell clients that counseling is like a pair of jeans. If they don’t fit right, it will be uncomfortable. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Ohio, I use audio- and video-based treatment to reduce the impact of adverse life experiences, and to help busy survivors let go of the past and thrive in the future. Confidential, on-time, dedicated, and empathetic. I return calls and emails the day of. I start treatment with a brief overview of what’s going on, and we collaborate on goals. The time for difficult questions will come as we work toward building a trusting relationship. Together, we will learn more about how your unique experiences are impacting your body and your life. Then we will learn skills to stabilize things. When you’re ready, we will do some deeper work to untangle the past for a clearer future. I specialize in supporting people who are dedicated to healing from things they don’t talk about. I use whole-body treatment interventions to get to the core of where trauma is stored.

Life is difficult and unfortunately the world we live in doesn't foster the belief in asking for help or sharing our feelings. Many people feel disconnected and alone and more importantly disconnected from one's own self. I approach counseling as a collaboration between therapist and client with a goal of helping people re-discover their innate ability to heal and become whole again. My approach to therapy sessions utilizes a mix of Somatic Experiencing, mindfulness-based resource building and cognitive-based therapies in hopes of gaining insight into patterns and issues that derail us from living a value-centered existence.

Life presents challenges, and one can get stuck, but growth is in sight.

I conceptualized counseling via a humanistic lens, as I believe that not one person has the same experience, thus my work emphasizes and celebrates the uniqueness of every person. By creating a supportive environment for all thoughts and feelings, I encourage my clients to be present as their authentic selves. Through an inegration of narrative therapy, motivational interviews, and acceptance and commitment therapy, I am able to engage with my clients on topics related to their past, present, and future. Therefore, promoting insights and motivations to assist my client in determining how they wish to progress and enhance their lives through goal-oriented actions.

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (I.2002389-SUPV) with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Social Work, both from The Ohio State University. Credentials aside, my desire as a therapist is to be able to hold space with and for my clients as they process thoughts and emotions when it might feel too overwhelming to do alone. I’ve worked primarily with adults in both community mental health and private practice settings, who are experiencing behavioral and mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, crisis, grief and loss, relationship and identity challenges, major life transitions, mood conditions, and psychotic issues. I have experience utilizing different therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness and relaxation techniques. I am Level I trained in EMDR therapy and find it to be an effective therapy for a variety of issues.

I specialize in the treatment of Adult ADHD. If you’re like many adults with ADHD, you might identify as an overthinker with a quick mind and strong feelings. And it seems like no matter how hard you try, you feel like people think you’re “scattered,” “too sensitive,” or even a little…“lost.” It feels like everyone else has it all figured out, and you’re left behind––beating yourself up for every little thing you do. You just want to live life without “analysis paralysis,” get organized, recover faster from emotional tailspins, and tackle your inner critic...for good.

New skills, self-awareness, and growth into your full potential are my wishes for you. This must be paired with less anguish and emotional pain, which is needed by so many of us. I want you to know all of you better, be more accepting of yourself, and feel in more control of your life. I want you to expand your knowledge of who you are; to grow into all that you are capable of becoming. I believe that even for the most resilient people, life deals us blows which can't be managed easily or quickly alone. I work to provide opportunities for others to begin and continue to grow; in a safe, confidential environment. It is important to me to not only acknowledge each individual's strengths and wishes to grow, but also to be really present with them. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to work towards his or her best self.

The most important factor when looking for a therapist is to find the right fit. You need to know that your therapist can understand you well, is genuine, interested, attentive, and non judgemental. Within the context of a good therapeutic relationship, difficulties can be explored freely and through this exploration you can discover new insights and creative ways to work through problems. I practice psycho-dynamic Self Psychology. This therapeutic tradition puts a great emphasis on the relationship between client and therapist. As a practitioner of this kind of therapy, it is my belief that our capacity to understand our inner life, cope with life's challenges, have satisfying relationships, and effectively pursue our values and goals is developed and supported (or not) in the context of our important relationships. Therapy is a relationship especially suited to provide the kind of support that strengthens us and helps us get more of what we want out of life.

I believe healing begins when we feel safe enough to slow down, listen to our bodies, and meet ourselves with care. Much of what we carry shows up not only in our thoughts and emotions but also in the nervous system and body. My role is to provide a steady space where you can notice what is happening inside, find balance, and open to new ways of relating to yourself and to others. My approach draws on Somatic Experiencing, Transforming Touch, and attachment-based healing, along with the insights of polyvagal theory. Early experiences often shape how we connect with ourselves and the world. When those experiences are disrupted, we may carry patterns of tension, disconnection, or self-doubt. Through gentle touch, nervous system support, and relational presence, we create the conditions for your body to settle and for new, healthier pathways to take root. I work with adults and adolescents navigating trauma, anxiety, stress, or relationship challenges, as well as those seeking a deeper sense of presence and connection. I also work with children through a regulation-based approach that is creative and playful, while supporting deeper attachment and early developmental repair. In our work together we may pay attention to breath, posture, and sensations alongside the stories and feelings that arise. These experiences hold wisdom and can guide us toward awareness and change. Clients often describe me as calm, present, and approachable. I trust that you are already doing your best with the challenges you have faced. Together we will move at a pace that feels supportive, finding a rhythm between safety and growth.
