Hi, I’m Comfort, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who works with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, and ADHD. My diverse background helps me bring a holistic perspective to care, and patients often describe me as warm, approachable, and easy to talk to. I am an ANCC board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than eight years of nursing experience in psychiatry and internal medicine. I am committed to providing compassionate, individualized, evidence-based mental health care and helping people achieve their goals. I believe mental health is essential to overall well-being and strives to create a safe, respectful, judgment-free environment where everyone feels heard and valued. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking and spending time with friends and loved ones.

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.

Therapist

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. All ages with: Anxiety, Depression, Addictions, Schizo and Mood Spectrum, Paraphallic, and Trauma.

Therapist

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I look at the web of relationships and environment that shape who you are. I draw on strengths that you may have overlooked (and help you develop new ones) to get you where you want to go.


I have a seasoned background in both faith-based and nondenominational family dynamics. I have had the honor of helping couples and individuals build healthy parameters for their future. If you are at a crossroads -- whether it is a new phase of life (e.g., marriage, job, separation) or you are simply looking for a fresh approach to life -- I can help.


I view each person as uniquely valuable, interesting, and powerful. Because I am so convinced of your potential, I am committed to spending the quality time you need to recognize these traits in yourself and make a real impact in your relationships. Wherever life finds you at this moment, there is a bright path ahead! Let’s discover it together.
