Therapy Focused on Women's Health
Glad you are here. It takes courage to seek counseling. It is important to me that you find a good fit with your therapist as research shows that this has a positive effect on treatment outcome. I have a focus on women's health. I work with women from early adulthood (age 18) to mid-life. I work with patients from a holistic perspective with a focus on the mind and body.
Focus Areas:
-Reproductive Psychology (infertility, pregnancy loss/grief, family planning, pregnancy, postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, birth trauma/NICU)
-Parental Burnout
-Parenting & Family
-Counseling for College Students
-Immigration/Acculturation
-Relationship difficulties
-Stress and Mood Issues (depression, anxiety)
-Low Self-Esteem
-Grief
-Work and Life Transitions
-Adjustment to Disability
-Career Counseling
-Premarital Counseling
-Traumatic Brain Injury/Neurological Issues
- PCOS and PMDD
-Performance anxiety
Seeking help is a sign of strength. My hope is that therapy provides insight and skills to help improve your life. You are the expert on your life but we will work together towards your vision for a happier, healthier life.

Good Faith Estimate (Posted Per Federal Law)
You may obtain a good faith estimate of my charges upon request prior to scheduling with me.
The No Surprises Act is a federal law which provides you with the right to a good faith estimate of the cost of services at my practice. However, licensing board rules require me to provide you with the actual cost of my charges in a written informed consent form to which you must agree prior to my providing services. That will be available to you prior to you being seen for services and prior to any billing. In most cases it is impossible to estimate how many sessions you will need, and that will not be determined until your concerns are evaluated and will also vary based on the progress that you make, which depends in part on your efforts with the process. You will be free to discontinue services at any time or the services may otherwise be terminated in accordance with the informed consent.
Although the No Surprises Law says that you may initiate a dispute process if the actual charges are substantially in excess of the Good Faith Estimated charges, i.e. if you are charged $400 more than the estimated cost for a session or for the total estimate provided, that is unlikely to happen and would be a violation of licensing board rules, since you will be agreeing up front to actual charges per session prior to being seen. Dispute information is available upon request, however. Any changes to my fees will require a change in the informed consent form fees, which you must agree to prior to having them go into effect, otherwise the fees will remain in effect for 12 months.
This practice is not a crisis counseling center. If you feel that your safety is at risk, please call 911 or find the nearest hospital. You can also call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline any time at 1-800-273-8255 or Netcare Access of Franklin County at 614-276-2273.

Reproductive Psychology
Becoming a parent through pregnancy and childbirth is a big transition both psychologically and physically for both partners. Postpartum depression and anxiety are common and can be present in both partners. These symptoms can begin during pregnancy. I offer an array of services addressing reproductive psychology which include:
1. Therapy with a focus on the fertility journey, high risk pregnancy, NICU birth, pregnancy loss or receiving a medical diagnosis for child
2. Birth and Postpartum Planning
3. Writing your Birth Story
If interested, please contact me directly to create a customized plan collaboratively that meets your specific needs.
