LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Westerville, OH

When life is too much, allow me the honor to help you come home to self and make life beautiful. I work with clients who genuinely want to find resilience, wholeness and beauty in life. My clients are diverse in race, ethnicity, spirituality, gender and sexual identity and nationality. Many tend to be caring, service-oriented people. Some are quite creative. Therapy and self-care help them to be stronger for themselves first, but also for those they love, in their career and for the world at large. "I have arrived. I am home." -Thich Nhat Hanh

Welcome! My goal for any client is to help them feel safe in our work and confident in their progress. My 35 years of experience have provided me with the breadth of exposure to handle the most common to the most complex situations with people from all walks of life. That experience allows me to support you in any circumstance with a depth of wisdom to pull from and the most inclusive and affirming space. Whether our work together is for you, your child or your family, you can trust that I am committed to creating a safe experience that supports you on your journey from where you are now to where you want to be.

I offer a collaborative approach to find the best way to support you with your specific needs. Therapy should be a partnership that allows you an opportunity to contribute to the healing process. I have a laid back personality with a good sense of humor that helps others feel comfortable opening up. I believe that your counseling experience should be tailored to you and your specific needs. I work to facilitate open communication so that you feel comfortable collaborating on the best treatment for you.

As a Licensed Social Worker, I am dedicated to helping clients become their best selves. My work as a therapist is rooted in Social Justice and Equity and I approach our work together from a holistic lens. I work collaboratively with my clients and emphasize that you are the expert of your own experiences. I believe that mental health is not isolated but is interconnected and all aspects of health contribute to our overall well being. My goal with sessions are to untangle thoughts and feelings, navigate discomfort, and build strong reliable coping skills in life.

Many of my clients struggle with dread, shame, anxiety, trauma, existential thoughts, as well as negative expectations for themselves and the world around them. Through a combination of evidence-based techniques, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, and a person-centered approach, I meet my clients on the journey of overcoming these obstacles, toward achieving both their emotional and behavioral goals.

Living in balance is the ongoing goal I hope for my clients. Whether it be to repair relationships, working on achieving your personal best, learning to handle mental illness, moving towards forgiveness, or handling life changes, we can always move towards making positive changes to live a more satisfying life.

As a licensed counselor in Ohio (LPCC) and the state of Washington (LMHC), I view each individual as the expert of their experience, and foster a therapeutic space where unique strengths are celebrated and employed to create meaningful change. My education and experience provide me the opportunity to work with a variety of clinical concerns, including relational distress, depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions and personal wellness, among others. My approach to counseling is client-centered and eclectic in nature. I draw upon narrative, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), strength-based and evidenced-based modalities
