I am a licensed independent Marriage and Family Therapist in both the states of Ohio and California. In 2012, I received my graduate degree from California Institute in Integral Studies. I shortly after was credentialed as Registered Drama Therapist (RDT) through North American Drama Therapy Association (NADTA). This means I am specially trained and certified in action-oriented techniques that can get you out of your head and moving forward faster.Alongside my clinical practice, I am credentialed to supervise and train the next generation of creative arts therapists and independent Ohio MFTs. My approach is deeply collaborative, culturally humble, neurodivergent-affirming, and LGBTQIA+ queer-affirming

I have a holistic, creative approach to counseling, focusing not just on talk-therapy, but mind-body connection and our network of supports and relationships. I have worked in non-profit and community counseling centers and have experience with all ages of clients as well as multiple levels of abilities. My education background is not only in clinical mental health counseling but also peace and justice and art studies.

I love to learn what has shaped others' lives and how this has impacted their living. Together we can explore life challenges and opportunities for growth or healing.

Hello there, thanks for finding my page. I'm Halle, a licensed independent social worker (LISW), dedicated to creating a safe and nonjudgmental space for healing, self-discovery, and growth. I take a collaborative, holistic, and client-centered approach to therapy, grounded in respect for each person’s lived experience.

My background includes a Master’s in Social Work from The Ohio State University and 10 years of clinical experience working with adults and adolescents in navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and identity exploration.

I believe in meeting you where you are and supporting you at your pace. Whether you’re seeking relief, clarity, or meaningful change, I’m here to walk alongside you in that process.

I started my social work journey at an in-patient adult hospital, then moved to intensive community based therapy with children before moving to to my work in private practice. Prior to that, I managed Waffle Houses all over Columbus and served in the US Air Force.

Reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating — especially if you’re afraid of being judged, misunderstood, or unsure whether therapy will actually help. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or like you’re barely holding things together on the outside, you’re not alone.

My approach is warm, direct, practical, and collaborative. I help clients not only process emotions, but also understand why certain patterns keep happening and how to create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we focus on building emotional awareness, healthier coping skills, nervous system regulation, and stronger relationships.

Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, attachment wounds, self-esteem issues, or difficulty managing intense emotions. I work to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, understood, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

If any of this resonates with you, I’d be honored to support you in your healing process.
