Christian Therapists in Upper Arlington, OH
I specialize in providing therapy to teens and young and middle-aged adults with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and life adjustment concerns. Additionally, I specialize in helping overwhelmed parents develop strategies and skills to help their kids cope with mental health and performance challenges. These days, many people feel depressed and anxious because of negative thoughts about self, overwhelming circumstances, and challenging relational dynamics. These challenges make it difficult for people to experience life with joy and satisfaction and function to their full potential.

I take a practical, compassionate approach focused on real-life change. Many women I work with have achieved sobriety but feel stuck, unfulfilled, or unsure what comes next. On the outside, life may look fine, yet internally there’s a sense of disconnection—from themselves, their relationships, or their purpose. They come seeking clarity and direction. I help them move forward by focusing on identity, relationships, and a clear, actionable path using CBT and Motivational Interviewing—so they can make confident decisions and build a meaningful, sustainable life.

As a former Ohio State wrestler, one of my greatest passions is in Sports Counseling - helping athletes and families reach their potential where anger, negative self talk and fear can often times speak so loudly. I help others realize they can silence those voices and take ownership of their actions and emotions so sports, relationships and life can be fun!

Do you find it difficult to deal with life transitions and change? Life has its unique challenges as we navigate through the different stages. Sometimes, we need support through these stages while dealing with the ongoing changes in our personal universe. Although change is difficult to handle at times, I feel that change promotes personal growth, perseverance, and inner strength. When dealt with appropriately, change can be a healthy part of life.

I'm here for the girls. If you're a woman (or a parent of a girl 15+) who feels broken, anxious, and like the world speaks a different language than you, I'm here to help you decipher the code with love and patience. Trauma, chronic illness, and neurodivergence change the way we view the world and how we approach it, but we can work together, in the name of Jesus, to bring your heart and mind peace despite it all. There is hope, no matter what, and I want to make sure you see it.
