Couples therapists in Ohio

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I founded Full Circle Mental Health LLC on a simple belief: therapy should fit your life, not the other way around. Seeking support takes courage, and I’m here to provide a collaborative, non-judgmental space where you can truly be yourself.

While I work with a wide range of life challenges, I specialize in areas that can feel particularly heavy, complex, or isolating to navigate alone:

• Trauma & PTSD: If you are an adult who is tired of just getting by and you feel ready to go deeper than surface-level coping, we can work together to heal the root of your pain and help you reclaim your peace.

• Couples, Premarital & Blended Family Counseling: Whether you are dating, engaged, navigating the day-to-day friction of a long-term partnership, or working through the unique complexities of merging households and building a blended family, I help couples build strong foundations, improve communication, and deepen connection.

• Religious Deconstruction & Faith Transitions: If you are questioning, shifting away from, or leaving a belief system you built your life around, I offer a safe space to unpack the complex, often lonely emotions that come with rewriting your story.

As a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio, I earned my degrees at Ohio Dominican University and Walden University. I know that every person's story is unique, which is why I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. My toolkit includes advanced, specialized training in the Gottman Method, Bowen Family Systems, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Trauma-Focused CBT.

No matter where you are on your journey, we will work together to find a path forward that feels authentic and manageable for you. Whenever you’re ready, reach out—I’d love to connect.

I’m a licensed therapist who believes therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and real. I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and self-esteem issues, with a focus on helping you feel more grounded and confident in your day-to-day life. My approach is practical and compassionate—I help you understand patterns, build coping skills, and make changes that fit your life. Most importantly, I aim to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and never judged.

I approach to counseling and therapy is that we're all striving to connect with our whole or "essence" self that resides within us. I see myself as a facilitator of that change. I am a holistic and trauma-informed therapist with some twenty-five years' experience.

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I provide compassionate, supportive mental health care centered on medication management. To enhance your treatment, I integrate brief, supplemental supportive interventions and targeted coping strategies when clinically indicated. I am currently accepting new patients (ages 18–64) and have immediate openings with flexible scheduling for both online and in-person appointments.

Counseling for me is about companionship! Companions are with you through the good and the not-so-good. The most important thing in counseling is creating a relationship where people can feel and think how they want to about their experience within the relationship because whether we are stepping in the right or wrong direction we are ever growing and changing. Everyone perceives life through a different lens. Biological, physiological, and environmental variables influence those perspectives in different domains of people’s lives.
