Therapists in Columbus, OH

I am a licensed professional clinical counselor with over 13 years of practice in the field of counseling. In 2006 I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from The Ohio State University in Social and Behavioral Sciences, and in 2009 I graduated from the University of Akron with a Master of Arts in Education degree for Community Counseling. I began my career as a counselor at IBH Addiction Recovery Center (Interval Brotherhood Home), a residential treatment center for chemical dependencies in Akron Ohio. While at IBH I worked as part of a treatment team, and delivered individual therapy, group therapy, brief family therapy, crisis intervention, and case management services to adult men suffering from addictions and co-occurring mental disorders. In 2015 I was promoted to assistant clinical director at IBH, which shifted my focus to supervising counselors and case managers, directing the men’s treatment team, coordinating admissions and discharges, and co-administering an electronic health record software. I have specialized training in trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, and addiction treatment. I also received specific, advanced training on Cognitive Behavior Therapy from the Beck Institute in Philadelphia. Since 2018 I have been working in private organizations delivering treatment services to adults with a range of mental health issues. I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral methods with a warm approach, and will tailor my style based on the needs of my clients. I live in Ohio and spend my free time reading, listening to music, hiking, visiting with family and friends, and hanging out with my cat, Charlie.

I am a licensed independent social worker located in Ohio. For the past ten years, my primary role has been a stay at home mom to my ten year old boy/girl twins, seven year old daughter and five year old son. Now that they are getting older and are less dependent on me, I am ready to return to my first passion, which is social work. I have experience with grief and loss counseling as a pregnancy counselor at a private adoption agency. I have experience with parents and their children in a school setting, providing school based mental health therapy and helping their parents find strategies at home. I have provided anxiety training to parents, students and staff at a local 4-8th grade school. I have provided Cognitive-Behavioral therapy to treat anxiety disorders, adjustment disorders, oppositional-defiant disorder, bipolar disorder, Asperger's, and ADHD. I have a strengths based approach to my counseling and am a strong advocate for my clients' needs. I am compassionate, empathetic, and caring. I care about my clients, who they are, where they come from, and where they want to go. If you think I would be a good match, I would love to meet you and work together towards your goals.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you and to the work that we are going to complete together. I began doing clinical work while living in Los Angeles. I pursued degrees in Psychology and Social Work while working as a therapist with children. Since moving to San Diego, I have enjoyed work as a therapist for all ages and as a school social worker, while also nurturing my own growing family. The work that I do has emerged from the love that I have for children, as well as for those who were children once. We all need to know that we have someone on our side that we can count on, someone who cares, and someone who allows us to feel heard. I cherish every opportunity to be that someone in the life of another. I will always tailor the work that we do to your specific needs and goals. I believe in a strengths-based, solution-focused model, and that you are the expert in your therapy and your progress. I also utilize research-based practices to help incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness practices into the work that we will engage in.
