Meet Our Team
Our team is comprised of competent and compassionate individuals with a wide range of specialization. While we are always striving to stay up to date with the latest research and methodologies, our number one priority is to hold non-judgmental space and create a supportive experience for our clients.
How We Do It
Our Approach
We treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis. We’re proud to have a practice with a personal touch, offering a real person whenever possible to connect with when scheduling and using our services. We hold non-judgmental space for every person, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion or ability.
We realize it’s not our job to “fix” anyone — it’s our job to create a compassionate space for open, non-judgmental expression of thoughts, feelings and behaviors so that we may understand the unique story of each client and create a customized treatment path that allows for new behaviors, skills, approaches and perceptions.

We are currently one of the only private practices in central Ohio that offers Standard DBT treatment that is adherent to the model developed and extensively researched by Marsha Linehan, PhD, and accepts insurance.
Pro Consulation

I work with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life’s harder transitions. My approach is warm, trauma-informed, and integrative, drawing on psychodynamic, attachment-based, and evidence-based tools like CBT and DBT. I believe the patterns we develop to survive don’t always serve us as we grow, and I meet those patterns with curiosity rather than judgment. Together, we make sense of where they came from and how they still show up, so you leave therapy informed by your experiences rather than defined by them. My goal is simple: to help you become more fully yourself.
