I am an LCSW, psychotherapist, with 12+ yrs experience in the Mental Health field. I have worked in many different Mental Health Settings such as: Residential, IBHS, Drug/Alcohol, and Community Based. Specializations include: CCTP, EMDR, and Anxiety, Depression.
I’m a dual Board-Certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in healthcare. I believe healing happens when you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can openly share your story and begin your journey toward emotional balance and well-being.
I bring both medical and mental health expertise to my work, allowing me to understand how physical and emotional health are deeply connected. I strive to meet each person where they are — with empathy, respect, and collaboration — while helping them move toward lasting change and inner peace. Outside of mental healthcare, I enjoy working out, yoga classes and nature photography.
I have been licensed as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor since 2004 and have held a supervision designation since 2015. I have also held a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor with a supervision/training designation license since 2018. I have maintained a private counseling practice in Chillicothe since 2000 and I continue to work with individuals and families in that capacity. I have dedicated my career to helping others and to working with the community to ensure the well-being of families and children.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Columbus
Finding the right therapist in Columbus starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or a life transition, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Common provider types include licensed professional counselors (LPCs), licensed independent social workers (LISWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists — each with different training and areas of focus. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.
Columbus has a large and diverse provider community, with therapists practicing across neighborhoods like Short North, German Village, Worthington, Upper Arlington, and Hilliard — as well as many who offer virtual sessions. When narrowing your options, consider what matters most: a provider's specialty, whether they offer in-person or virtual visits, and their availability. Many providers also offer a free phone consultation so you can see if it's a good fit before committing to a session.
Therapy in Columbus can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs before you book — and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session, though costs vary based on your location and exact coverage. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits your needs and your budget.
