Feeling comfortable in our shoes is essential to a creative and self-fulfilling journey and
life. The struggle to reach out for support can be an obstacle that leads to isolation,
loneliness, anxiety, and depression and is often the first and most challenging step to
take. I congratulate you on your courage and willingness to imagine and hope for
changes that will help you be more comfortable in the shoes that you wear!
I have worked as a mental health practitioner for over 40 years and have encountered
many of the challenges that people face in their daily lives. Along the way, I have
discovered my own creative needs and now walk as a transgender therapist willing to
join you as a partner on a path to self-discovery. Giving voice to our hopes, dreams,
and desires is often an essential part of that journey, and I would be glad to join you as
a partner in your self-discovery and growth.
Hello and welcome! I'm a psychologist who has had my practice for almost 15 years. I have previously worked in hospitals, universities, and nursing facilities, but I have found working in private practice is my strength and also my passion. I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Hofstra University in 2009, and I moved from NYC to Ohio in 2020. So I get to see patients both in New York and Ohio.
Do you desire healing from past events, struggling in life, overwhelmed and not feeling like you're reaching your potential? Every person is unique, and I honor that by emphasizing your God-given strengths and providing you with tools for success in life. You are the expert on your life, but sometimes having a supportive partner in exploring your life can help. If you're close to the Westerville, New Albany, and Lewis Center areas, I'd love to meet you in person. I can also see you online. This comes in handy with Ohio winter weather.
I believe all people are capable of change and growth, with the right support and encouragement. I'll be there to empower you to overcome growth barriers and be there to rejoice in your successes. I'm honored to be that collaborative partner. I invite you to reach out, take that first step towards wholeness in your life.
I have been in practice for 25 years as a professional counselor. You are the reason why I continue in the work of a therapist. It is your continuing growth and improvement that is my goal in helping you. You are the expert on your particular situation and it is my job to help you in moving from where you are right now, to where you would like to be as quickly as possible.
I have worked in the field of mental health for 35 years and what I have learned is that everyone should to be treated with respect and dignity and also deserves to have a therapist who will partner with them to achieve the outcome they want.
Life doesn't have to feel this difficult. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or a major life transition, you don't have to face it alone. Therapy offers a place to slow down, gain perspective, and begin creating meaningful change.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Columbus, OH
Finding addiction therapists in Columbus starts with matching your needs to the right clinical background. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, relapse prevention, cravings, and behavioral concerns. Look for a therapist whose profile lists experience with addiction, substance use, or outpatient substance abuse counseling. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.
Columbus has many therapy options across neighborhoods and nearby areas, which can make it harder to narrow the search. Consider whether an in-person office near home, work, or campus fits your schedule, or whether a virtual appointment gives you more flexibility. You can also compare appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading bios can help you see how each therapist describes their approach, communication style, and experience with addiction care.
Addiction therapy in Columbus can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to find therapists who match your needs, check insurance coverage for your specific plan, and view upfront cost estimates before you book. You can browse addiction therapists in Columbus, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
