AFFIRMING THERAPY FOR NON-MONOGAMOUS & LGBT+ ADULTS IN OHIO
Supporting you in staying rooted in yourself while thriving through change—just like the Ohio buckeye tree.
ONLINE COUNSELING IN OHIO FOR INDIVIDUALS AND RELATIONSHIPS
Licensed to Practice Across Ohio
As a licensed therapist in Ohio, I’m able to work with clients anywhere in the state. Because sessions are virtual, you don’t have to fight traffic, rearrange your day, or feel limited by what providers are nearby. Instead, you can access therapy from the comfort of your own space.
Accessible Throughout The Buckeye State
I work with clients all across the state of Ohio, including:
Toledo
Canton
Akron
Hamilton
Middletown
Cincinnati
Dayton
Columbus
Cleveland
Youngstown
Additionally, many of my Ohio clients are located in smaller communities throughout the state. As long as you’re located in-state, we can work together online.
Services Offered for Ohio Residents
I provide online therapy for adults across Ohio, supporting clients through life transitions, anxiety, depression, and pet loss. My work focuses on helping individuals in non-monogamous and LGBTQ+ communities navigate change, deepen self-understanding, and build meaningful connection. I also offer relationship therapy, including couples counseling, for partners in both traditional and non-traditional relationships, helping them strengthen their connection, work through challenges, and grow together.
Why Online Therapy Works
Virtual therapy creates flexibility. You can show up from your couch, office, or wherever feels safe. Many clients find they feel more relaxed and open in online sessions compared to traditional in-person therapy.
Ohio Origins
Ohio will always feel like home. My family roots are spread across the state, and I completed my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling at the University of Cincinnati. I lived in Cincinnati for more than a decade before moving to Virginia, which means I carry with me not just my professional training, but also the lived experience of life in the Buckeye State. It’s important to me to offer online therapy to Ohioans that honors both your identity and your unique story.
