Attachment-based Therapists in Columbus, OH

Being able to recognize our own strengths and how we have used those strengths to succeed in the past, can be a useful tool in reducing acute symptoms of anxiety, depression, and many other mental health concerns. Long-term, I work with clients in hopes of building the confidence and skill set to move forward knowing that they are more than capable of managing anything that life throws your way. I believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every person, and that every person has the ability within themselves to not only enact change, but be their very own change agent.

I specialize in helping relationships heal and thrive. I work with both couples and individuals in healing from trauma, working towards well-being, and finding inner peace so that they can show up more authentically in their relationships with themselves and others. Therapy is a space for self reflection and growth, which can be very uncomfortable and vulnerable. I hope to provide you a safe and deeply present therapeutic experience in order to support you in your healing and empower you toward courageous, open-hearted connection with yourself and in your relationship.

I aim to empower clients to navigate and discover pathways for personal healing and self fulfillment. I serve in the role of your empowerment coach, counselor, sounding-board, and support. With five years of experience working with young adults, I believe individualized care is essential to serving clients holistically.

My ideal client would be someone who could struggle with any number of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, career issues, self-esteem, life transitions, and many more. My ideal client would be open to multiple methods of treatment and willing to try new things in and outside of the session. I would like to work with clients who are hoping to manage their symptoms, accept help, and be engaged in their healing. These individuals put in the work needed in and outside of the session and that helps with therapeutic progress.

Do you feel trapped in a daily struggle with food and your appearance? Have you made countless attempts to break free only to find yourself back in the same battle? Maybe it is difficult to imagine yourself being free when your self-worth is so closely tied to your body size, or when your relationship with food feels so out of control and when society and social media dictates the way we should look. Living this way is exhausting and draining. You do not want to feel this exhausted anymore. You want to love yourself and your body.

My ideal client seeks self-exploration & understanding, facing issues like anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. They need a supportive space for personal growth, aiming to gain insight, develop coping strategies, improve communication, & foster healthy relationships. They aspire to enhance mental well-being, achieve a better life quality, & unlock their full potential.

I believe a fine tuned awareness of oneself is essential to overall well-being. I focus on supporting you in understanding your present problems in new ways and discovering novel, practical options you can take to increase satisfaction and reduce distress. I work to assist you in clarifying your personal needs and noticing what interferes with feeling fulfilled or grounded. Often times, action toward getting our needs met comes with considerable risk. I am here to help facilitate your growth process as you understand and work through patterns that interfere with well-being but often also function as helpful, self-protection.

Life is hard AND there is hope! As my clients work through their issues/concerns, whether it be grief/loss, struggles in their relationships - both romantic and platonic, and/or postpartum hurdles, it is a joy and honor to walk alongside them and show them that hope.

Times of chaos, confusion, and challenge are opportunities for a shift in perspective and meaningful, long-lasting change.
