Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Reynoldsburg, OH
Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who outwardly appear to be functioning well, but internally feel anxious, emotionally drained, disconnected, or stuck in painful patterns shaped by past experiences. They often come to therapy wanting to better understand themselves, improve relationships, heal from past experiences, or finally feel more grounded and authentic in their lives. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in helping clients move forward with greater clarity, confidence, self-compassion, and emotional freedom.

I work with women and children because I am fiercely protective of these populations in my own life. There is a term in the therapy world called “wounded healer.” This term is from Carl Jung and research suggests that upwards of 70% of counselors and psychologist have had their own “wounding” experiences which led them to their career path. I work with these populations because my counselors and psychologists growing up helped me see through the fog of abusive parenting and romantic relationships. They helped me grow and heal, doing the only thing that they could- providing a safe space for me to cry, vent, be sorrowful, and share.

My ideal client feels overwhelmed by trauma, anxiety, anger, depression, or grief and is tired of carrying it alone. They want clarity, stability, and a sense of control, even if they’re unsure of how to get there. They’re seeking understanding, support, and a space to explore what’s holding them back so they can break old patterns, heal, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

Drawing from different modalities, such as EMDR, DBT, CBT, and more, allows me to more easily meet you where you are and provide the support you need.

I integrate DBT, mindfulness, attachment-focused work, EFT, and Gottman-informed methods.
I work with “big feelers”, the empaths of life who show up for everyone with little room left for themselves. My clients are individuals and couples who are ready to understand themselves on a deeper level and create more secure, meaningful relationships. Whether you’re navigating communication issues, trust concerns, emotional overwhelm, or patterns rooted in past experiences, we work together to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and begin shifting those patterns in a real, lasting way. My approach is relational, emotionally focused, and insight-driven, while still being applicable to your everyday 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.

Stability in everyday life can be very hard to obtain at times. The saying "life comes at you fast" is more than just words, it's reality for most people today.

I am an Independently Licensed Social Worker, in Ohio. I received a Master's Degree in Social Work (MSW) from The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by past experiences, anxiety, depression, or family stress? Maybe you’re trying to break patterns from your own childhood or support a child who has experienced trauma.

I believe healing happens when we move beyond “black and white” thinking and explore the full complexity of your story with curiosity and compassion.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
