Christian Therapists in Columbus, OH
I work with both Individuals and Couples as they seek greater fulfillment in their lives and relationships. Individual therapy with me will feel like you’re telling your story. By providing a safe, nonjudgmental, and collaborative space you’ll be able to approach the difficulties you have had and are currently facing. By engaging your story in this space, you’ll be able to understand yourself and the world around you in a new way that will lead to healing and growth. My approach with couples is similar in that I hope to help you engage each other in new ways, fostering fulfilling patterns of connection and attachment.

My ideal client would be someone who desperately wants change and is ready to be curious, engaged, and deliberate with their growth. You would be open to creative and alternative approaches, and perhaps you've had many other 'failed' attempts at therapy.
I enjoy complex cases, people trying to navigate difficult relationships, and being able to validate the struggles that you've been through. If you want to learn more about your mind, body, brain, past, and psyche and turn that knowledge into actionable steps toward wellness, we'll be a great fit!

Are you tired of the same arguments that never end? Do you feel more like roommates than husband and wife? Maybe the spark has faded, and you’re just co-parenting, surviving, or walking on eggshells. You love each other—but the connection feels out of reach.

Hi there! I am so glad that you are here and considering therapy. As someone who was raised in a culture where mental health was not widely discussed, I understand firsthand the power of being able to openly share your thoughts without fear of judgment or scrutiny. With that being said, I also understand how intimidating it can be to attend therapy, especially for the first time. My goal as a therapist is to meet my clients where they are and create a safe and warm environment in which my clients can explore their authentic selves.
