Therapists in Columbus, OH

I believe we all have the ability to change. Whether your an individual, couple, or family you deserve to live your best life. Through an open and trusting relationship we will work together to provide you the necessary skills to enhance your personal growth and overall well being. I focus on building strong therapeutic relationships aligned with your personal goals and individual strengths.

I specialize in ADHD testing and treatment of Adult ADHD. If you’re like many adults with ADHD, you might identify as an overthinker with a quick mind and strong feelings. And it seems like no matter how hard you try, you feel like people think you’re “scattered,” “too sensitive,” or even a little…“lost.” It feels like everyone else has it all figured out, and you’re left behind––beating yourself up for every little thing you do. You just want to live life without “analysis paralysis,” get organized, recover faster from emotional tailspins, and tackle your inner critic...for good.

I have experience working with teens and adults. I have clinical experience with a diverse range of clients in communities around Columbus. I am passionate about assisting individuals in alleviating symptoms of various mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, family conflict, anger, and life transitions. I take a laid-back, caring, and collaborative approach to work with each client to identify and achieve their own goals.

Have you been looking for a quiet place to sit and talk with someone who will listen without judgement or criticism? That is exactly what you will find in my office. I want you to be able to come in, get comfortable and freely express your thoughts, feelings and emotions. I encourage you to say what you need to say, if you can't find the words I will help. The most important aspect of therapy is the relationship between you and your therapist. As your therapist, I will support you on your journey.

Hello, I value good customer service and so I am doing in-person only. My clients appreciate this. It is the only way, I feel, we can spend quality time together. Healing the inner child is a process that combines work on the mind, body and spirit. If we focus only on one aspect of this process, we are continuing to neglect that which has brought harm to us. We are only healing one half or one third of our whole being. Being brave enough to consider psychotherapy is a step toward choosing to become a better person, (or partner) choosing to heal or nurture your soul.

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 and to remove obstacles, we have the potential for a rewarding relationship. Are you having difficulty communicating in a way that leads to progress and peaceful relationships? Do you have trouble setting boundaries or consistently maintaining them? Can you accept and give feedback in a way that feels productive and encouraging? If these are areas of struggle, let's figure out ways of maneuvering through these issues together.

Anxious? Overwhelmed? Exhausted? Unable to feel Joy? This might describe yourself, your teen, or your child. You may have struggled to find the right therapeutic fit or found it challenging to be vulnerable. You may not even know where to start!

Have you ever known what you needed to do, but didn't do it? You know what you want, and you might even know how to get it, but you just can't seem to make yourself start taking action? I help solve that problem.

I provide diagnostic assessment and treatment for adult populations with a broad range of mental health disorders, specializing in the treatment of anxiety and trauma-related disorders. My goals for all patients are two-fold: 1) to help mitigate symptoms in the immediate using cognitive-behavioral strategies and 2) to help patients identify and overcome unhelpful behavioral and relational patterns for long-term symptom reduction and life enhancement.

Are you feeling anxious, stressed or depressed? Can you benefit from additional support? Seeking therapy services is one of the first steps to helping yourself feel better. I work with individuals who have experienced trauma, who struggle with depression and anxiety, as well as any other various stressors that occur in everyday life. Whether it’s job stress, difficult family dynamics or relationship struggles, things can get tough and complicated. As we work together, we can explore ways to help you feel calm, find ways to cope and to help you move forward in your life with confidence and peace of mind.

I have over twenty years of clinical experience working with individuals and families. I am skilled in assisting clients in overcoming overwhelming symptoms of anxiety and depression. It is my goal to assist individuals who are struggling with traumatic life events gain more control over their lives.

I believe in the ability to change and that everyone deserves someone to help them through the process in a way that fits their needs best. I have worked with all ages from 4 years old to older adults with a wide range of concerns. I feel that I best serve clients with anxiety, depression, sexuality and gender related concerns and trauma but am comfortable with a wide range of concerns. I am a very open and flexible person and tend to focus on a strengths based perspective.

I have provided clinical counseling, advocacy, and case management services, with a specialization in trauma. I also have experience working with individuals and families, providing parenting strategies and support, as well as exploring healthy relationship skills. I utilize Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (for children and adolescents), and EMDR. I focus on the existing strengths of my clients and encourage the use of those strengths to work toward identified goals. Empathy, compassion, integrity, and service drive my interactions with clients.

I can't say that I have an ideal client, as every client presents with their own unique set of strengths and challenges. I find myself drawn to clients whose lives have been significantly negatively impacted by the systems they belong to. Aiding clients with the tools and resources to work on breaking those generational cycles of trauma or poverty, is one of the most rewarding experiences I can have as a therapist. I truly believe that all clients have the ability to overcome whatever challenges they may be experiencing and achieve their personal goals. My only job is to help them develop the tools to do so.

I love my work. I have really enjoyed getting to know my clients over the past 25 years. Although I consult with adults, adolescents & children, I also see many couples and families. My clients are never the problem, they have problems and need solutions and strategies to get "unstuck" or make changes in their lives. I have also found personal, business and career coaching helpful to many clients. I am the owner of a large practice with psychologists, psychiatrists & counselors. If my hours or approach does not fit your needs I will find someone who can assist you.
