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.

As a faithful Christian, you’re facing suffering that challenges both your mental health and spiritual life.
Clients come to me looking for a Christian therapist who respects both their mental health and faith, because therapy should be a place where you feel understood and accepted. Sessions with me are warm and focused on you and your needs. Together, we help you rediscover the peace of Christ and go at your pace, never pushing to a place you're not ready to be.

You might have a good understanding of why you struggle—yet still feel stuck. Maybe anxiety keeps showing up in your body, relationships follow the same patterns, or you’ve tried therapy before but it didn’t go deep enough. I work with adults who want more than coping strategies alone. Together, we focus on understanding and shifting the underlying emotional patterns that keep these struggles in place.

Columbus, OH 43212
If these years have taught us anything, it’s the realization that in an instant life can happen and really shake some shit up! As the days continue, it seems as though this is becoming more and more a reality, while watching dreams, expectations, visions and plans change or be eliminated. No matter the trigger, the goal of counseling is to engage these experiences with a supportive, strength based, experienced, and compassionate clinician. As such, Arin takes her role with guidance very seriously; finding the use of enlightenment, growth and information to support one’s ability to live/view their reality as it's being edited.

Hi, I’m Dr. Essence! As a queer, multiracial and neurodivergent woman, I have first hand experience trying to embrace my identity, find belonging, and navigate a world that wasn't made for me. Soooo if you start therapy with me, you are guaranteed to have a psychologist who has walked the walk as much as she can talk the talk. I value the relationship with my clients over everything else, so I do my best to balance hyping you up with telling you the things you miiiiight not wanna hear. But, through my own self-disclosure and personal stories, I hope to cultivate a safe space for you to grow into your favorite version of yourself!

Personally, I am a Christian, and am well-versed in theology and faith practices.
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.

I'm here for the girls. If you're a woman (or a parent of a girl 13+) who feels broken, anxious, and like the world speaks a different language than you, I'm here to help you decipher the code with love and patience. Trauma, chronic illness, and neurodivergence change the way we view the world and how we approach it, but we can work together, in the name of Jesus, to bring your heart and mind peace despite it all. There is hope, no matter what, and I want to make sure you see it.

I am a Christian Professional Counselor and work for a private Christian practice.
I specialize in helping people of all ages and backgrounds experiencing imbalance in their personal, family, or professional life. I match my skills with your needs, wants and expectations. Together, we identify patterns in your life that no longer serve you and create a plan to help you accomplish what is most important to you. While we may process the past, we focus on practicing new, more effective behaviors. I believe therapy is a collaborative process that I, as your therapist, can meet you where you are to help you, your child, your teen, your partner, and/or your family navigate through together.

I also have formal training in Christian integration.
For marriages that feel fractured — but not finished. Maybe an affair has come to light — and everything feels unstable. You’ve gone from being partners to adversaries. Or worse — polite roommates. Maybe the fights have escalated to the point where you don’t recognize yourself or your partner in the middle of them; you’re not the same people you were before deployment. You may be reeling from disclosure of infidelity, same-sex attraction, or gender concerns, stuck in the same escalating argument, or avoiding intimacy because it feels tense, complicated, or loaded. You grieve the marriage you once had — or the one you hoped to have.
