Licensed Professional Counselor

Hi, I’m Jane! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Ohio. I’m grateful to be practicing during a time when conversations about mental health are becoming more open and less stigmatized. Even so, I know that reaching out for support can still feel vulnerable, overwhelming, or uncertain. 

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and centered on you. I believe therapy works best when you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in the process. Together, we’ll create a space where you can slow down, reflect, explore what’s been weighing on you, and begin moving toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.

I strive to offer a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where you can bring the parts of your story that may feel difficult to share. Whether you’re navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, self-defeating patterns, neurodivergence, personality differences, confidence issues, or a desire for more stability, we’ll work together to understand your experiences better and identify what healing and growth can look like for you.

Opening up about the most private parts of our lives can feel deeply vulnerable—and often intimidating. Experiences like depression, anxiety, trauma, self-defeating patterns, neurodivergence, personality differences, relationship challenges, confidence, and stability can all shape how we see ourselves and connect with others.

I use an integrative approach, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), emotionally focused therapy (EFT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, and solution-focused techniques. I’m also Gottman Level 1 trained, which helps inform my work with couples and relationships.

I do my best to create a space where you can feel comfortable being honest, even about the things that are hard to say out loud. I’ll bring warmth, curiosity, and respect to our work, while also making sure therapy feels connected to your real life, your needs, and your goals.

Therapy doesn’t have to mean having everything figured out. Sometimes it starts with simply wanting things to feel different. I’d be honored to support you as you take that step.
