Shame, relationship conflict, trauma and intense emotion are significant parts of the human experience. Though common, all of these experiences can disrupt or make it extremely difficult for an individual to connect with themselves, have healthy relationships, meet their goals, or even make it through the day. These challenges can be isolating and can start to foster feelings of hopelessness, shame, and create barriers to reaching out for help. I encourage you to reach out anyway. Creating the life you want to live can start gently, with curiosity and compassion for yourself. I'll meet you there.

Clients often tell me, they were told: there is nothing more that can be done...for their poor gait, pain levels, anxiety and depression even mood swings. Somatic education and therapy is another option. Judy will guide you to greater self awareness so you can notice your unconscious holding patterns and let them go. Once helpful, these old patterns may be holding you back. The use of gentle movement and touch is freeing and releases the deep seated and often unconscious patterns of pain and trauma. Judy will help you find a way around it...with gentleness and fun.

If you’re reading this, I congratulate you on your courage and determination to seek help. Authenticity, self-alliance, and curious exploration are the core themes of my therapy. I view well-being holistically from a biopsychosocial-spiritual lens, i.e. your early life upbringing, biology, social relationships, stressful life events, demographics (e.g. culture), conscious and subconscious thought patterns, emotional skills, and society all influence your mental health. In practice, I blend empirically supported treatments with energy / spiritual work and social justice informed by 10 years of training and practice.

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.

I am clinical social worker with over 15 years of professional experience. My approach to work has always coincided with my desire to pursue education and travel. I have recently returned to my Ohio roots to locate a private practice that continues to weave threads related to much older passions such as reading and learning, social connection and community, and personal reflection and pursuits related to the mind and body. At this time, I am most interested in working with adults that feel stuck or are interested in receiving support through points of pain and life transitions.

Making the decision to get profoundly honest and commit to change takes a lot of strength and courage. If you've landed on this being ultimately the only way to start making positive shifts in your life, we have the potential for a rewarding relationship. Are you having difficulty communicating in a way that leads to progress? Is setting boundaries or consistently maintaining them a challenge? Are you a people-pleaser or perfectionist? Can you accept and give feedback in a way that feels productive? If these are areas of struggle, let's figure out ways of maneuvering through these issues together.

If you have childhood trauma, or adult trauma, or depression, anxiety, or even just trying to adjust to a new stage of life. I would be honored to help you manage and conquer what challenges you're facing.
