Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Columbus, OH

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.

I am a licensed independent Marriage and Family Therapist in both the states of Ohio and California. In 2012, I received my graduate degree from California Institute in Integral Studies. I shortly after was credentialed as Registered Drama Therapist (RDT) through North American Drama Therapy Association (NADTA). This means I am specially trained and certified in action-oriented techniques that can get you out of your head and moving forward faster.Alongside my clinical practice, I am credentialed to supervise and train the next generation of creative arts therapists and independent Ohio MFTs. My approach is deeply collaborative, culturally humble, neurodivergent-affirming, and LGBTQIA+ queer-affirming

I believe therapy is a space to find inner peace through courage, curiosity, and compassion. The journey toward peace begins with the willingness to be vulnerable—an act that can feel both brave and frightening. Opening up to another person and turning inward to meet ourselves can stir fear and uncertainty, but it becomes gentler in a space free of judgment and shame. My goal is to create that space, where you can explore at your own pace and begin to reconnect with the parts of yourself that need care and understanding.

With 12+ years of experience supporting those impacted by trauma and other challenges , I use a body-centered, relational approach. I help clients slow down, tune into their bodies, and notice how the past shapes their present. Through curiosity, mindfulness, and compassion, I guide healing and deeper connection with self and others.

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.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in old patterns, or unsure how to move forward, therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin creating meaningful change. I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship struggles, major life transitions, and the effects of past experiences. I also have a special interest in helping women work through self-esteem, body image, emotional regulation, and relationship challenges. For couples, I help partners who feel disconnected, caught in recurring conflict, struggling to communicate, or trying to rebuild trust after infidelity.

I'm a therapist and Air Force veteran who has spent 9 years helping young people and adults work through anxiety, trauma, and life's harder chapters. I know what it means to

carry things you don't have words for yet. Whether you're a teenager navigating something new or a veteran carrying old weight, you belong here. I'd love to connect.
