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.

I consider myself the Dolly Parton of mental wellness: all humans are welcome, being clear is kind, and, like Dolly, sometimes we all need a little help navigating life from 9-to-5. I provide therapy in Ohio and Kentucky, and I also offer holistic wellness coaching and integrative psychedelic support to help you explore growth from multiple angles. In our sessions, I tailor the process to fit you—addressing experiences, patterns, or distortions that might leave your cup of ambition dry. With a transparent, solution-focused approach, we’ll work together to create meaningful, lasting change that goes beyond our 50 minutes.

As a therapist and coach I work with diverse clients, including those navigating queer identities and alternative healing methods. My approach is straightforward and infused with a touch of humor, creating a space where authenticity and meaningful progress are the goals.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Columbus

Finding postpartum therapists in Columbus starts with looking for care that fits the concerns you want to address. Postpartum support can include help with postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience in perinatal mental health, prenatal and postpartum care, or counseling for postpartum depression. The PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health.

Columbus has many therapy options, and the number of choices can make it harder to narrow your search. For new parents, practical details matter: appointment times, virtual availability, office location, and whether a therapist is accepting new patients. Virtual sessions can be especially useful when schedules change, infant care is a factor, or in-person appointments add extra travel time. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum depression therapy before you book.

Therapy in Columbus can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for postpartum therapists, review estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront based on your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
