With over 20 years of experience in healthcare, I bring a compassionate and understanding approach to mental health care. As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I’ve had the privilege of working in a wide range of settings, including pediatrics, family medicine, cardiology, correctional health, emergency medicine, and education.

I believe that meaningful care starts with truly meeting patients where they are. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to be your authentic self. Together, we work toward practical, personalized solutions that support your mental and emotional well-being.

When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling, exploring new cultures, visiting amusement parks, going on cruises, or spending quiet time at home with my husband and our two dogs.

Clients often describe me as straightforward yet warm, offering both empathy and honest feedback to help foster meaningful progress.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • North Olmsted, OH


When we live in spaces of meeting other people’s expectations, how can we ever discover who we authentically are? My role as a therapist is to create a space where you are able to be authentically yourself. We are not simple and isolated beings. We are influenced and impacted by various different relationships and experiences throughout our lives. There is no road map on how to be. So, let’s create it together.

I am a trauma informed Independent Couple and Family Therapist, which allows me to hold space and acknowledge the multitude of different factors that influence a person or couple. I received my Master's from Appalachian State University in Marriage and Family Therapy with a certificate of Multicultural Counseling.

As a queer, neurodiverse, 2nd generation Martinican American, I understand the importance of providing culturally responsive and affirming care. I believe that therapy deserves a person - centered approach putting emphasis on the need for collaboration and consent throughout the whole experience. Transparency and honesty are priorities for me as a therapist to ensure there is an ability to create trust and understanding from the start of services.

Being neurodiverse, it is important for my clients to understand that I work with your brain rather than against it. Allowing for multiple possibilities and ways to navigate difficult experiences to ensure that what is being explored is supportive, inclusive and accessible to all of my clients without the experience of shame and challenges internalized ableism.

Clients that are most successful are willing to be challenged, self-reflect, being willing to try something new and learn to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. I feel privileged to be able to be part of your journey.

Therapist

You might feel alone in this struggle but you don’t have to be. My work, which has been shaped by my own experiences of suffering and clinical training, is more than a career, it is a calling. I help people move from surviving to living with intention, calm, and confidence.

I have an undergraduate degree in psychology, and a master’s in clinical social work. I specialize in treating OCD and other anxiety disorders with Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy. I use this therapy because I’ve seen it help people begin living the lives that they want to live without fear being the driving force.

I also have a background in working with parents who are experiencing challenging situations. Whenever I work with children, I work with the caregivers as well in order to improve family unity and create lasting change.

I am very trauma-aware in that I recognize the role that past experiences have had in shaping who we are today. My philosophy is that these experiences don’t have to hold us back, but that healing is a journey to be embraced.

I work with adults who feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in patterns of anxiety or disconnection, or who are carrying more than they feel able to hold alone. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but internally exhausted, navigating relationship stress, past trauma, or a sense that they are constantly “pushing through” without enough support.

Therapy with me is a space to slow down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin building a steadier internal sense of safety and clarity.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
