Thanks for stopping by! Picking a therapist from a long list can be intimidating so knowing as much as you can ahead of time may help. A little about me: I have been licensed in Ohio since 2002. I graduated with my bachelor's degree from Ohio University in Athens and my master's from The Ohio State University in Columbus. I truly love what I do! I understand how hard it may be to take that initial step to reach out for help. I will support you in the therapeutic process. Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you don’t have to go through it alone.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Westerville, OH


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.
