Emotionally Focused Therapists in Columbus, OH
With over 30 years experience in community agency and private practice, I serve clients from wide ranging backgrounds, with an extensive range of presenting issues. I view "problem" behaviors in a non-pathologizing way: we're all trying our best, using self-protective approaches to life's challenges that we've developed along the way, some of which may no longer serve us well. I use a humanistic, mindfulness-based approach in a safe, accepting and confidential environment. With every client who enters my office I am honored and inspired by the uniqueness of each individual as well as the commonality of our shared human experience.

I approach therapy from a holistic perspective that mind, body and spirit all work together for total wellness. Clients that are a good fit typically are looking to better themselves, to find joy in their day-to-day life, or are experiencing a life transition. I strive to help individuals elevate their life experience, and am a personable therapist that cares deeply about each of my clients. I am also a wife, mother, nature enthusiast, dog lover and wellness junkie. Connecting with people and allowing space for others to feel heard & understood is important to me.

I am passionate about holding space for each person I work with to experience an opportunity to share their story and be heard. In hand with that, acknowledging and spending time considering the emotions we have as we go through different experiences can help us to understand them. I am also passionate about acknowledging individuality and diversity. I strive to give voice to diverse and minority populations in order to help understand lives in the contexts of our various environments. I value considering the ways in which the impacts of minority status may have on the development of one’s life and relationships.

Anxiety, depression, and grief can quietly reshape daily life. You might find yourself withdrawing from others, struggling to stay motivated, or wondering if things will ever feel normal again. It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed when loss and low mood intertwine. Grief can deepen depression, while ongoing anxiety can make it harder to heal. Therapy offers a calm space to pause, process what’s happening, and rediscover steadiness. I help clients navigate worry, sadness, and loss to restore a greater sense of balance, connection, and purpose.

You are the expert on your own life and experience. My aim is to create a safe emotional space where, together, we can explore your inner world.

It can be draining to find yourself once again caught up in the fast-paced, emotionally heated back and forth of, “I’m always asking for X! You never do it!” and “Well, you don’t understand Y! You never listen to me!” And it can feel lonely as the distance between you sets in again. As a couple therapist, I help clients move from feeling defeated by the deepening divides in their relationships to re-imagining what being a team means to them.
