Therapists in Ohio

Welcome! The decision to pursue therapy is a difficult and important step. I believe each person is unique as well as how their prior experiences have lead them to this point in their life. I strive to meet my clients where they are at in a safe comfortable space that is non judgmental and understanding of your individual situation. I want you to be free to tell about what is going on your life and work through your problems together as a team. We can talk about your issues, problems, what is going or about anything you would like to discuss with you.

Accepting clients ages 6 and older. Do you or your child experience a lot of "big feelings?" Maybe you live with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, Autism, or maybe you're going through a big life transition. If that sounds like you, I could be a good fit.

I will assign homework, ask you to try new things, and I'll strive to be creative and flexible in our work together.

It's time to change your story. You're looking through these profiles, trying to find someone who sees you. You've known you're different - the way you feel things, sense things, or relate to the people around you. And somehow you believe you're the problem. But, to quote Doctor Who, "I've never met anybody who wasn't important before." You have a purpose - even if you don't know it. And yes, there are obstacles: anxiousness, lack of motivation, and overwhelm. Together we work to find your strengths, use them to overcome these obstacles, and make you the hero of your own story.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the complexities of your life circumstances or relationships? Are you tired of negative thought patterns that leave you depressed and anxious? Has a recent loss, through death or divorce left you agonizing and stuck? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, I would love to come alongside you. I will lend support and a fresh perspective as you process your experiences, thoughts, and feelings, and help you progress from where you are to where you want to be. Sometimes progress comes through acceptance and other times through targeted action; I'd be honored to help you with either or both.

You're sitting on the couch trying to motivate yourself to get up and moving. You have so much to do and all of it important but you just... can't.

Are you suffering from trauma & finding it holding you back from living your true, authentic life? From my experience, I can see how challenging a Borderline Personality Disorder diagnosis can be on a person, & working with someone open to learning new skills to manage it better can be very rewarding! I enjoy working with people who are suffering from anxiety or depressive disorder as I have seen the progress my clients have made in those areas & I love to watch them start to live a more satisfying life. I am here to assist with any life transitions, relationship issues, grief, or OCD/phobias that are preventing you from your goals.

I am passionate about helping those who are hurting & feel beaten down by life. I believe that beauty comes out of brokenness & that no tear is wasted. It is my desire to walk along side those who feel abandoned & alone & are holding onto the hope that healing is possible & change can happen. In my practice I aim to create a safe space for you to explore the hurts you have suffered that continue to hold you back from living the abundant life you desire. I use an integrative approach to help with concerns such as: depression, anxiety, grief, sexual abuse/trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, spirituality, & women's issues.

Calm your body & mind, connect with your heart, discover who you are outside of your childhood programming & trauma. This leads to more peace, confidence, better relationships & often better health. Healing is a journey and ideally we dip into the past just long enough to learn from it and let it go. Living in the present becomes much easier when trapped emotions from the past aren’t always right there waiting to be activated. I offer an open, no-judgement, holistic space for you to bring your truest self, all preferences and spiritualities welcome.
