My other clinical interests are depression, trauma, work challenges, family of origin concerns, attachment, stress management, pregnancy, pregnancy loss, parenting, relationships, life transitions, attention issues, and overall wellness.
It’s fine. I'm fine. Everything is FINE! How many times have we said that to ourselves or others and deep down we know it isn't true? Sometimes it’s just easier to tell ourselves that rather than get to the root of the problem. Are you a highly functioning person who feels more anxious, unsettled, alone, frustrated, or empty than you’d like? Ongoing optimism, a growth-mindset, acceptance, and a nonjudgmental space help my clients move forward. I have previously worked with a diverse range of clients at Ohio Wesleyan University, in various public and private education roles, and in several corporate positions.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, adjustment problems, low self-esteem, grief/loss, dysfunctional family dynamics, or you are a parent with a child with difficult/problem behaviors, please reach out and request an appointment with me by calling or texting 614-547-9233.
If you don't feel comfortable in traditional talk therapy, you may have a different learning style that deserves respect. There are four main learning styles: visual, auditory, reading/writing and kinesthetic, which requires physical interaction with the environment. If you are a visual person or need more engagement, then art therapy may be the best fit for you. Art Therapy is a method of self-expression that creates a safe and nonjudgmental space. The focus is on the process of creating and the meaning you bring to your art. No artistic talent is required. I offer telehealth (virtual) services to children, adolescents and adults.

I am experienced working with issues including stress, family conflict, relationship issues, transitions, sexual trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and personality disorders.
Deciding to attend therapy is a courageous act that can result in life altering and life affirming outcomes. I believe in providing a safe and supportive environment based on unconditional positive regard and focusing on personal strengths. Therapy is a process whereby clients have the opportunity to explore their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, and find out how to make changes toward a more fulfilling life. I see therapy as a collaborative process where I help clients identify therapy goals and establish their own measures of progress. Together we find and work toward solutions that can make life more rewarding.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
