With 20 years of experience, I have moved past clinical jargon to focus on what actually works: true empathy and genuine human connection. My practice is built on real-world experience, and I am dedicated to helping people navigate life with clarity and strength.

I specialize in working with adults dealing with trauma, relationship dynamics, substance use, anxiety, and depression.

Therapist

Hello! Thank you for being here. Reaching out for therapy is incredibly brave but can also be a bit overwhelming. I’m hoping I can help you see your strength and worth while we navigate all the things life throws our way.

I’m Kathy and I have been a social worker for 23 years now. I have been a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker for the last 16 years of that time. For the majority of my profession, I have been working in the hospital setting, helping patients find solutions to a wide range of needs. I have seen patients struggle in many different ways in life and helping them has also helped me grow as a social worker.

I am passionate about helping people realize they are capable of more than they think. Everyone deserves to see their worth and I would love to work with you to help you see yours.

Therapist

Hello, my name is Patty and I am here to remind you that;

You are not your struggles.

Too often, people begin to define themselves by their anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, painful experiences, or difficult circumstances. While these challenges are real and deserve attention, they do not define who you are.

I understand that life's journey can include loss, disappointment, uncertainty, and unexpected transitions. Yet,.I believe these experiences can also reveal resilience, wisdom, and strengths that may have previously gone unrecognized. Our experiences help shape our stories, but they do not determine how the story ends.

Therapist

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals and couples from a collaborative, compassionate, and relationship-centered perspective. I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel safe, heard, respected, and understood. I strive to create a warm and nonjudgmental environment where clients can be open about their experiences and feel supported as they work toward their goals. With individuals, I help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical skills for emotional regulation, coping, communication, and healthier patterns of thinking and relating. With couples, I focus on strengthening emotional connection, improving communication, understanding relationship patterns, and helping partners feel more secure and connected to one another. Drawing from EFT and the Gottman Method, I help couples move beyond recurring conflict and develop greater understanding, empathy, and connection.

Picking a therapist while scrolling through 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.
