I work with people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, life changes, or relationship struggles. If self-doubt is holding you back or burnout is making it hard to move forward, we’ll work together to help you feel more like yourself again.

I use CBT, DBT, and Solution Focused work, using mindfulness, breathing techniques, visualization, and goal setting to help clients reach their short and long-term goals.
My ideal client is someone who comes to therapy in a time of need. They might be experiencing anxiety due to life changes and transitions or they might be experiencing symptoms of anxiety for the first time and be concerned as to where the anxiety came from. The client might be processing loss or grief from a loved one or past friendships and or relationships. My ideal client will have needs such as needing to identify coping skills to get through life stressors, assistance with reaching goals. As a therapist I would be able to provide the client with a objective perspective to bounce their ideas and situations off of.

I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Processing Therapy, Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO- DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
I have extensive experience in treating individuals struggling with disordered eating, body image distress, and related issues such as trauma, perfectionism, life transitions, and mood disorders. In my career, I have worked in higher-level care settings, most notably at The Emily Program, where I honed my expertise in treating eating disorders.

My main treatment modalities include EMDR, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Interpersonal Therapy.
Sometimes people just need someone to listen - to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can be themselves. When people are struggling with hopelessness and helplessness, they also need someone to walk alongside them as a guide toward the solutions that work for their individualized struggles and goals. I work with a broad range of clientele, but I have extensive experience in working with the following clinical populations: eating disorders, substance abuse, individuals who identify as LGBTQ+, depression, anxiety, and trauma.

I also pull interventions from DBT, EMDR, IFS, CBT, MI, feminist, liberation-based, strengths-based and solution-focused theoretical orientations.
I'm Logan (they/them) and I'm an East Asian non-binary person who has lived insight into what it’s like to exist outside the majority in a state like Ohio. I’ve lived in the Midwest my whole life, and I also come from a background of being raised by immigrant communities. I have experience working with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities, systemic-based trauma, and religious trauma. I believe it's crucial right now to prioritize decolonizing therapy, especially for QTBIPOC with intersecting marginalized identities.

I love to use Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, and at the client's request, Christian counseling approaches to help clients experience healthy, balanced and fulfilling lives.
Are you experiencing crippling anxiety, stress, or discouragement in day to day life? Are you burned out from a job or role that used to give you fulfillment? Are you feeling like your emotions control you and hurt those closest to you? Do you struggle to keep up with the needs of those who rely on you at work or in your spiritual community? Are you a teen experiencing overwhelming pressure and painful emotions, struggling to find a solid sense of identity?

I use a variety of techniques from CBT, DBT, and Schema Therapy to help clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves and learn healthier coping skills.
Each and every one of us has a unique story that shapes who we are as individuals. This story can be a mixture of positive and negative experiences, joyful and painful, the good and the bad. How we experience this story, how we share it with others, and how it impacts us are all pieces to an intricate puzzle of who we are and how we live our lives. My primary goal as a therapist is to create a non-judgmental environment filled with acceptance and compassion in the hopes that, by doing so, clients will feel comfortable sharing their stories, learn to embrace their authentic selves, and grow into the person they wish to be.

I blend psychoeducation, family of origin concepts, and talk therapy, with art and expressive based opportunities, DBT skills, and cognitive processing.
I specialize in working with individuals and families with experiences related to adoption, foster care, and kinship care. As an adult adoptee, I'm committed to coming along side others with similar experiences to move toward wellbeing and a sense of peace. I use my lived experience, my journey of processing, and my personal dedication to continual learning to actively partner with my clients. I use a collaborative, humanistic, feminist, and art-based (for those interested) approach that is curious, compassionate, and direct. Together we'll work toward solutions, reduced symptoms, deeper understanding, and empowered choices.
