Couples therapist Columbus ohio
I am not a Generalist. I
Specialize in couples therapy
I don’t just work with relationships, I specialize in them. Using science-backed methods like the Gottman Method and EFT, I help partners understand what’s really happening between them and build connection that lasts. You’ll get real tools, honest feedback, and space to be fully yourself. My goal? To work myself out of a job by giving you the skills to repair and reconnect for good.

Sure, I could talk about all my trainings (they’re right below if you’re curious), but here’s the truth: I have dedicated my entire practice to working with couples.. My style is laid, back but direct, we’ll have real conversations that actually matter. And yeah, sometimes a well-placed curse word says what nothing else can. It’s not about shock value; it’s about being honest, human, and real.
I am not afraid to go deeper...
I’ll ask the kind of questions that help us go deeper into what’s really happening, things like:
What’s it like for you when the argument starts?
What happens inside you when they walk away?
I’ll reflect back to be sure I’m getting it right, because you’re the expert on your story.
I use real, science-backed approaches of Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method to help you actually get out of the loop and find your way back to connection. The process is structured using a research based assessment process, but also flexible to fit you. This is what I do all day, every day. Relationships are my thing, and helping couples find their way back to each other is what I’m best at.
I do not just have specialized training in the areas i treat, I am an Active member of the communities i support
I know first hand how hard it is to find a therapist "who gets it". I have lived experience in the polyamory, queer, and furry communities. I want my clients to know that I am understanding and knowledgeable about things they love that other folks may not understand beyond book learning.

Want to know more about me? these are not just fun facts, they are things that shape how I show up in the therapy room:
NEUROSPICY: My ADHD brain is built for curiosity and catching patterns most people overlook.
Research Nerd: I love digging into the “why” behind what couples do, therapy that’s human and backed by solid science.
FURRY: Yep, I’m a furry. It’s about creativity, connection, and finding your people, which is pretty much how I do therapy, too.
FAVORITE TV THERAPIST: Dr. Linda Martin from Lucifer, equal parts compassion, straight talk, and “did-we-just-go-there?” honesty. My style’s not far off.
