Therapists in Columbus, OH

Hello and welcome! I enjoy working with women, college students, survivors of trauma, folks on the LGBTQ+ spectrum, and anyone facing stress around anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, boundary setting and relationship concerns. I specialize in working with ages 18-40. I value authenticity and transparency and believe the relationship in therapy is the key element to a powerful experience. We get more from therapy when we are open. Often, we are not getting our needs met out of fear or avoidance, and therapy is a great way to practice embodiment, taking space and being present as your authentic self.

If you identify as a healer, artist, nerd, or lifelong learner seeking to find purpose, explore career decision-making, manage your ADHD, and/or heal from anxiety, depression, or trauma—I would love to connect with you. You can expect an understanding, inclusive, and exploratory approach to help educate and empower you to grow and heal. I will give out of session "homework" assignments and work to help you build habits and changes in and outside of sessions.

People can heal from trauma. But you don't have to do this alone. People pleasing, relationship stress, anger, chronic pain, addictions, shame, insecurity; just a few ways trauma tends to show itself in your life. When people decide to get curious about how the wounding moments in life have impacted their self-worth and worldview, then healing can occur. You deserve to heal. And you deserve support through this process. I help people let go of shame, rediscover who they are, and find reasons to smile again. I would be honored to help discover what healing looks like for you, should you choose to no longer travel that path alone.

"We have more possibilities available in each moment than we realize." This quote by Thich Nhat Hanh expresses my belief. For over 20 years in the field of Mental Health, it has been my pleasure to accompany others on their journey, working with all issues including relationships, life transitions, stress managment, habits, health, nutrition, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma and spirituality. My perspective is strength-based and views you, a whole person within your unique situation, rather than the typical pathology based medical model of care.

Each individual’s path to mental well-being is as personal as it is unique. No matter the challenges you’re navigating, remember, you don’t have to face them alone.

My priority lies in creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions, process their experiences, and develop healthy coping strategies.

I work with child, adolescent, and adult clients providing trauma-focused care and support with a variety of needs; such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and other challenges of life.

To do this, it is important to me to create a safe and comfortable space where clients can feel fully seen and heard as their most authentic self.

An ideal client is an individual who has a growth mindset and explores their thoughts and feelings and how they impact their behavior. They may not understand how those thoughts derived from past experiences, but they are willing to open old wounds given the right tools. They feel safe and secure and want to heal through hard work and determination.

Times of chaos, confusion, and challenge are opportunities for a shift in perspective and meaningful, long-lasting change. We don't often have a choice about challenging circumstances but we do get to choose how we respond and whether or not we grow stronger from the experience!
