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.

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.
Hi, I’m a neurodivergent Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) dedicated to helping individuals better understand themselves and create meaningful, sustainable change in their lives. I have specialized training and certifications in ADHD and autism, including advanced experience completing assessments, and I provide both evaluations and ongoing therapy to help clients gain clarity and build strategies that align with how their brains are wired. I’m especially passionate about supporting women and individuals who may have gone undiagnosed or misunderstood, and my work focuses on areas such as ADHD, autism, sensory differences, emotional regulation, identity development, social functioning, anxiety, self-esteem, and life transitions.
I have worked with children my entire life, but most recently I have work professionally in mental health with children and teens (age 2-19). I started working with young children in treatment foster-care and in 2013, teens in the juvenile court system . Then for 7 years I had provided mental health services in the school setting before moving to private practice in 2021.
I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner with a private practice in Ohio, and I've built my work around one simple idea: you deserve care that actually sees you as a person. I offer medication management, psychiatric evaluations, and some therapy, with both telehealth and in-person options so you can choose what works for your schedule and comfort. I take time at the start of every relationship to understand your full situation before we map out a plan. If you want a provider who is going to slow down and be present with you, I'd be glad to work together.
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to managing everything on your own. I work with adults, including many caregivers who are balancing a lot and may feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure how to prioritize themselves while caring for others.
I’ve supported clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and parenting stress.
I also bring extensive experience working with children and adolescents (ages 4–21), which allows me to support parents with a deeper understanding of child and adolescent development. This helps caregivers better understand their child’s behavior and feel more confident in how they respond at home.
I have been working in the mental health / social services field for over 20 years which has afforded me the opportunity to work with people from all walks of life during both good times as well as challenging ones. For the first 15 years I worked in direct service and for the last 6, I've been in various leadership roles helping those under my supervision better the lives of those individuals they work with.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Columbus
Finding ADHD therapists in Columbus starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapy can help with executive function skills, focus, organization, emotional regulation, and related concerns like anxiety or depression. Some people look for an ADHD therapist for adults, while others are looking for support for a child or teen. A therapist may offer cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, skills-based support, or counseling focused on daily routines and coping strategies. If medication is part of your care plan, a psychiatrist can help with medication management.
Columbus has many mental health care options, which can make narrowing the search harder. You may want a therapist near your neighborhood, campus, or workplace, or you may prefer virtual appointments that fit your schedule. When comparing ADHD counseling in Columbus, Ohio, look at whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for you, and has experience with ADHD and common co-occurring concerns like anxiety or depression. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their approach, who they work with, and what a first session may involve.
Therapy in Columbus can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for ADHD therapists in Columbus who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, confirm insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare in-person and virtual options, schedule a free phone consultation when available, and book directly when you find a therapist who matches your needs.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
