I earned a Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Cincinnati after working in Children's Protective Services and Juvenile Court facilities. I have years of experience helping children, youth and families connect and function in more healthy ways. I see adults and couples as well, and strive to facilitate healing of hearts and marriages.
I have personal and professional experience in foster parenting and adoption. One of my special areas of interest is the effects of nutrition and exercise on mental health. I have utilized Equine-assisted Psychotherapy for twenty years as a specialty.
I consider it a privilege to help support and collaborate with my clients on achieving the goals they set for themselves in therapy. I primarily work with clients who have experienced or are experiencing trauma and PTSD, substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, self-harm, ADHD, OCD, life transitions, family conflict, and those experiencing stress or difficulties with emotion management. I earned my degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Addictions Counseling from Kent State University, and have worked in the mental health field for 10 years.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Columbus, OH
Finding ADHD therapists in Columbus starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapy can help with executive function skills, focus, organization, emotional regulation, and related concerns like anxiety or depression. Some people look for an ADHD therapist for adults, while others are looking for support for a child or teen. A therapist may offer cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, skills-based support, or counseling focused on daily routines and coping strategies. If medication is part of your care plan, a psychiatrist can help with medication management.
Columbus has many mental health care options, which can make narrowing the search harder. You may want a therapist near your neighborhood, campus, or workplace, or you may prefer virtual appointments that fit your schedule. When comparing ADHD counseling in Columbus, Ohio, look at whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for you, and has experience with ADHD and common co-occurring concerns like anxiety or depression. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their approach, who they work with, and what a first session may involve.
Therapy in Columbus can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for ADHD therapists in Columbus who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, confirm insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare in-person and virtual options, schedule a free phone consultation when available, and book directly when you find a therapist who matches your needs.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
