Trauma Focused Therapists in Westerville, OH
I strive to provide positive, empathetic, non-judgmental, collaborative, and encouraging services with each client, working to match my approach to their individual needs and concerns. I help clients zoom out to see the bigger picture and zoom in to see the strengths that they bring to every situation. I listen, support, and value my clients’ beliefs while challenging them to reflect on how these developed and where these are leading them. This informs my counseling mantra, “Be a Lighthouse” - to act as a guide to help each person find their way through the storms, rocky coasts, and challenges of life.

My ideal client is an individual who is open to working as a team and benefiting from a therapeutic relationship in which honesty, accountability, and empathy are paramount. While a client’s concerns are unique and personal, there is nothing they cannot overcome through effective therapeutic interventions and a highly-trained and relatable clinician.
