Full and not accepting new clients at this time. Do you look fine on the outside, but on the inside your mind is like a battlefield? Do you hide behind a smile but on the inside you are struggling? Your life is full—but often overwhelming. Between nonstop meetings, family obligations, and high expectations, there’s little time left for you. The stress adds up. The anxiety creeps in. And you may start to feel like you're barely keeping your head above water. But don't worry, you are in the right place.

To parents: The choice to seek support for your teen is a remarkable one. One thing is certain, you want your child to feel safe in their journey toward thriving.

Maybe you grew up being told who you were supposed to be, and you're finally asking who you actually are. Maybe you left the church and nobody warned you grief would be part of the deal. Maybe your relationships don't fit the standard shape and you're tired of therapists who treat that like the problem. Maybe you're just exhausted, anxious, and ready for something to shift.
Whatever brought you here, you deserve a space where you don't have to translate yourself.

I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Columbus, Ohio. I take a relaxed, collaborative, and conversational approach to therapy focused on helping clients feel genuinely understood, accepted, and comfortable being themselves. I feel that meaningful therapy starts with connection, warmth, and trust.

I especially enjoy working with “over-thinkers” — people who are highly self-aware, constantly analyzing, and often stuck in cycles of worry, perfectionism, or self-doubt.
