Couples therapist Columbus ohio
I am a relationship nerd.
I Specialize in couples therapy
I don’t just work with relationships, I dedicated my entire practice to them. Here, you’ll get real tools, honest feedback, and space to be fully yourself.
My goal is to to work myself out of a job by giving you the skills to repair and reconnect for good.
Schedule A 15 minute consult
I am laid, back but direct, we’ll have real conversations that actually matter and help you move forward.
I have dedicated my entire practice to working with couples and I know sitting in silence does not help you change.
I am not afraid to tell you what I see..
I’ll notice patterns, the ones that keep you stuck, and name them in real time, with care and clarity.
Sometimes that means hearing things that sting a little before they help. But that’s where change starts: in the truth, not the comfort zone.
I’ve dedicated my practice to helping couples find their way back to each other, that’s the work I’m most passionate about and what I’m best at.
I use evidence-based, science-backed approaches including Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and The Gottman Method to help you get out of the same painful loops and into a place where you can actually understand what’s happening between you, not just repeat it.
I am not just speciality trained
I am an active member of the communities I support
I know firsthand how hard it can be to find a therapist who “gets it.” I also bring lived experience as someone who is ADHD and connected to queer, polyamorous, and furry communities, alongside my clinical training.
