Children (6 to 10) Therapists in Upper Arlington, OH

We are a practice of licensed professionals who strive to build authentic relationships with our clients to help them make the changes that they are looking to make. While we are professionals, we are not the expert of our clients and instead aim to walk alongside them. We enjoy working with clients of all walks of life and we place value on the "fit" between client and counselor. For this reason, we have a thorough intake process that helps match client with clinician, including a free 15 minute consultation with a clinical intern prior to scheduling.

Welcome! Therapy is a great place to learn about yourself and how you show up in the world. I believe in creating a safe and nonjudgemental place where clients can learn about the relationship that they have with themselves and others, and to reflect on what is/is not working for them. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I work with adults, children, teens, families and couples to help them enhance the quality of their lives and relationships.

Engaging in the process of psychotherapy invites you to become more self-aware. This heightened awareness can inspire and encourage you to seek changes in your relationship with yourself and others. I join in collaboration with my clients to better understand past and present experiences and how they currently affect life options, choices, and decisions. As a therapist, I draw upon clients’ emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual resilience to support healing and engagement in life.

While I have experience working with a range of ages and issues, my speciality is working with teens and young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and childhood wounds. Many folx who I work with seek therapy wanting to eliminate their anxiety and depression, but often move on with a deeper understanding of where these issues stem from. They rediscover power in their voice and are able to set healthy boundaries. They explore patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors, increasing a sense of self awareness. Folx move on feeling more connected and compassionate within themselves.
