Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Pickerington, OH
You may feel stuck in patterns you understand logically but struggle to change emotionally. Perhaps stress, overwhelm, emotional eating, or ongoing challenges in relationships have become ways of coping, even though they no longer serve you. You’re motivated for change, yet frustrated by cycles of short-term progress followed by setbacks. You want lasting relief, greater self-trust, and healthier relationships—with food, your body, and the people in your life.

Though cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies are bread and butter techniques, I put my own geeky, pop-culture laden spin on things.
My ideal clients are people who have often felt a little different - highly sensitive, neurodivergent, creative, or simply out of step with the expectations around them. Many come to therapy struggling with anxiety, burnout, identity questions, or the sense that they never quite fit. I help clients understand how their minds work, develop practical coping skills, and build lives that feel authentic rather than forced. When helpful, we may draw on stories, fandoms, or personal interests as ways to explore identity and growth.

If you can relate, I hope you take comfort in knowing that you do not have to face these things alone.

Self care is not selfish. We often believe that taking care of others before we take care of ourselves is the way it should be. But, if you are not taking care of yourself, who will? Do you have enough left to take care of your needs? Self care is more than eating, working, or bathing yourself every day. Self care is about taking care that your mental and emotional needs are being met. I want to help you to help yourself in getting your emotional and mental health needs met.

Are you a woman who constantly gives but has difficulty caring for yourself? Do you find yourself in relationships that lack boundaries? Do you always defer to others preferences and ignore your own wants and needs? Does it feel like you have lost your sense of self? If so, you are making the right choice considering counseling. I would love to support you as you find yourself again (or maybe for the first time). I am currently accepting new clients and have availability only on Friday evenings
