Couples Therapy Columbus ohio
You're exhausted from the constant arguing and the never-ending cycle that leads nowhere. You're craving genuine change in your relationship. Get support from someone who truly gets relationships like yours.
As a relationship specialist, my work is dedicated to understanding the complexities of all relationships. No matter if you are straight, queer, poly, or somewhere in-between, I help relationships move past the stuck points and break free from the cycle of repeated arguments. Together, we can untangle what’s keeping you going in circles and find new ways forward.
Ready to get off the cycle?
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.
does this sound familiar?
The arguments are not stopping and you are not sure how to make it stop.
You feel disconnected from your partner and don't know how to reconnect.
They keep asking for sex but you do not know how to make the magic happen again.
You feel misunderstood by your partner and do not know how to help them really GET you.
Here are the benefits you'll enjoy working with someone well-versed in understanding relationship dynamics:
Personalized Approach: No cookie-cutter therapy here. Every relationship is different, so the plan should be too. Using proven methods, we’ll create a process that fits how you connect, communicate, and love, because what works for others might not work for you.
Tailored Assessments: You’ll start with a deep-dive relationship assessment that goes way beyond surface questions. It’s designed to uncover the patterns, strengths, and blind spots that shape how you connect, so you can see what’s really going on beneath the arguments.
Intensive Sessions: 90-minute sessions mean we get more done, faster. Think of them as focused deep dives, enough time to actually unpack what’s happening, not just start to. The result? Less time looping in therapy, more time actually reconnecting.
Accessible Contact: Once you're a client, you've got direct access to me through secure messaging and online scheduling, 24/7.
Flexible Scheduling: I get it, life can be hectic! That's why I offer flexibility in scheduling. I've got day, evening, and weekend availability outside your 9-5p.
Practical Tools: The work doesn’t stop when the session ends. You’ll get access to the Gottman Relationship Builder, a powerful tool with guided modules and exercises based on your assessment. It gives you real, practical ways to practice connection between sessions and keep the progress going.
What Does Success Look Like?
My aim is to “work myself out of a job” and help you become independent in navigating your relationship journey together. When partnering with a specialized couple’s therapist, like myself, it can speed up conflict resolution, improve self-awareness, and deepen your connection. This often leads to a closer bond, more fulfilling intimacy, and a clearer plan for handling any bumps in the road.
Investing in relationship therapy is a significant commitment that reflects your dedication to strengthening your bond. While it might be tempting to choose the most budget-friendly option, it's important to consider the long-term value of investing in quality therapeutic work. So, as you deliberate, keep in mind the importance of choosing what aligns best with your needs and goals, ultimately setting the stage for a more fulfilling journey ahead.

How much does working with a Relationship Specialist cost?
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 plans still leave them paying out of pocket for therapy, even with insurance. Some spend the year working toward a deductible but never see the benefits of ‘in-network’ coverage. Insurance companies will also do "claw backs" on couple's work they do not deem to be "medically needed", putting your treatment decisions into their control.
I believe in accessible care, with costs shaped around you
I offer reduced fee hourly rate slots on a limited basis for households earning under $190k. This helps make therapy more accessible for those who may not be able to pay my full rate. These options are designed to give flexibility and often align with what insurance clients already pay toward their deductible. I only ask for a W-2, paystub, or other form of documentation.
