Couples therapist Columbus ohio
I am not a generalist
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
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.
It isn't just "book smarts"
I know personally...
I know how hard it can be to find a therapist who “gets it.” I bring lived experience as someone who is ADHD and connected to queer, polyamorous, and furry communities, alongside my clinical training.
I also have done EFT couples therapy with my own husband, and understand how life changing this approach can be.
I get it and that helps me "get" you

Inclusive, Affirming, and Nontraditional: I am queer, nerdy, a convention chair to one of the world's largest furry conventions, and have lived experience in ENM/Poly relationships.
Former Animal Trainer: Animals have taught me more about the power of relationships then any text book. Ask me about April the Kangaroo!
