Therapists in Columbus, OH

Hello! I am a licensed professional clinical counselor who has worked in the mental health field for 10 years. I began my journey working in group homes and doing case management for adults with severe mental illnesses. I have worked in larger community agencies and private practices and have focused my skills on serving those who have experienced trauma, deal with anxiety, depression, and lack of direction in life.

Are you suffering emotionally? Have you been through difficult or traumatic life experiences that have left wounds? Learning to deal with life's challenges and finding your way out of deep emotional pain can be overwhelming. The decision to attend counseling is not always easy and choosing the right therapist to partner with you is important. Our group practice in Grandview is made up of therapists committed to helping you move through the difficult experiences you have encountered and help connect to a more embodied sense of self; bringing meaning back to life. The secondary wounding that occurs in life deserves attention and care.

ANXIETY! Even when things are normal anxiety is a painful condition that can rob you of a happy life. And in today’s uncertain and stressful climate things can seem worse than ever. If you're plagued by excessive worry, painful panic attacks, fear of social situations, phobias, a high stress lifestyle, or have experienced trauma in your life, this is my area of clinical focus. I’d like to help you feel calmer and able to manage your anxiety everyday through this challenging time.

We are a group private practice with multiple therapists including EMDR and trauma informed clinicians. We also have a psychiatric nurse practitioner for medication management. We serve individuals, families, parents, couples, and groups. At Gestalt Columbus, we work alongside our clients to treat the whole person - mind and body. We understand the complexity of interpersonal relationships and the difficulty of changing established patterns with partners, family, friends and work associates. Solutions to deep, personal suffering must be rooted in real-life understanding and not just a quick fix or a one-size-fits-all approach.

Accepting new clients for Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), traditional EMDR, as well as for EMDR Intensives! Your heart is heavy. Heavy with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression. With life stress, life transitions, the intense demands of work and parenthood and relationships. You feel disconnection, a lack of existential fulfillment. Stuck. You have this person you want to be. These things you want to do. You want to move forward in life; deeply, wholly, mindfully. And you've decided that you are ready to lay it out, harness your strength, and heal. You are worthy of relief. Your children are worthy of the best version of You.

Accepting new clients! I help people overcome difficulty and use it to grow and pursue a life of meaning and purpose. Sometimes we start by treating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, career, or LGBTQ+ and other identity issues, and over time turn to deeper issues about the life you want to create, your identity, and your values. I’m a humanistic counselor, which means I’ll never tell you what to do and I’ll always empower you to make the choice that’s best for you. I use a collaborative, gentle approach that helps you connect with your intuitive sense of self and your intrinsic motivation to grow and do difficult things.

I have a passion for treating Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Agoraphobia, Phobias, OCD, PTSD, Military Veterans, Depression, Bipolar Disorder and working with communication skills, intimacy, couples/marriages and families.

Are you suffering from trauma, anxiety, fear, shame, anger, addiction(substance, codependency or relationship), low self worth, relationship conflict, having difficulty managing stress, or are tired of pushing through life? Do you sabotage yourself in attempting to reach your potential or find it difficult to live joyfully, struggle with connecting passionately in relationships, or living life in the moment? I will support you in attracting and creating the life you want. I offer approaches that guide you from trying to figure out life to learning to live intentionally and passionately in the moment.
