Couples Therapy Newark ohio
Changing the patterns of your relationship is possible.
I’ve dedicated my entire practice to doing just that.
I am a Relationship Specialist. This is not one part of my work, it is all of it. My training and practice are entirely focused on relationships. I help partners understand why they get stuck, what drives recurring conflict, and how to create lasting change.
Secure A Consult
Most therapy practices don’t specialize solely in couples therapy, which can make it harder to truly address the challenges in your relationship. That’s where I come in. My training and practice are dedicated to helping couples create meaningful change and move out of feeling stuck.
A different kind of Couples and sex Therapy
I specialize in pattern-focused couples therapy. I am on the side of the relationship. I do not assign blame or offer "one-size-fits-all" advice. We slow things down, name what’s actually happening between you, and work with the system you’re both part of so real change can happen.

What is different about working
with a relationship Specialist?
My Client is your relationship
Sessions address the pattern that is happening between you & goes beyond surface-level topics. In specializing in relationships, research has shown that changing and addressing the pattern has the highest rate of success vs. giving couples "advice".
I offer 24/7 online booking & keep my caseload intentionally limited, so I’m often able to offer appointments within the same week. I also work rotating weekend days to fit your schedule.
Tailored-to-Life Scheduling
I offer 75- and 90-minute sessions to help you get to deeper connection faster.
I don’t bill insurance directly to protect your privacy and care. I can provide a superbill if you choose to submit for reimbursement.
You also have full autonomy over your rate, where you pick what rate you need to have based on your own finances. I do not ask for any financial "proof".
I am non-neutral in that I side with the relationship. Each partner is supported without "one against the other" or pathologizing differences.
I help guide you both to be successful outside the therapy room (without me!)

Privacy & Choice with Care

Longer Sessions
What does success look like?
You talk about the issues differently. You know your pattern and can break it.
Rebuild connection, trust, and emotional safety when things feel distant or strained
Create clearer communication and follow-through, especially under stress or neurodivergence
Strengthen agreements and boundaries in monogamous, open, or non-monogamous relationships
To support both accessibility and the long-term sustainability of my practice, I use the Green Bottle Method for therapy fees.
This approach allows you to choose the rate that best fits your current financial reality. Unlike a traditional sliding scale, it is not based solely on income and does not require any financial documentation. Instead, it encourages you to consider your overall financial stability, available resources, and your ability to absorb unexpected expenses.
Every client receives the same specialized, high-quality care regardless of the tier selected. Your fee does not affect the time, attention, or level of care you receive. Every tier is a valid choice and has been intentionally designed to support both my practice and the diverse financial realities of my clients.

Why Don't You Take Insurance?
I believe you should be in charge of your treatment
Many people are surprised to learn that insurance companies often decide how long sessions can be, how often they occur, and even when treatment should end. I believe those decisions should be made by you and me together, not by a third party who does not know you. By choosing to work outside of insurance, I’m able to provide care that truly fits your needs. This also gives us more flexibility with scheduling, rescheduling, and cancellations, without being limited by insurance company rules or restrictions.
I believe your truth deserves care and privacy
Insurance companies require access to your private health information, including diagnoses, notes, how long you have attended, when you cancelled, and personal history. When working through insurance, your confidentiality cannot be fully protected in the same way it can when we work together directly.
I believe in honesty and transparency about costs
Many individuals and families find that high-deductible insurance plans still result in paying out of pocket for therapy, even when using in-network benefits. Some spend the year working toward a deductible without ever reaching meaningful coverage. Insurance companies may also later reclaim payment (“clawbacks”) for couples work they do not consider medically necessary, placing treatment decisions under insurer control.
I believe in accessible care, with costs shaped around you
