You are a woman who has been devastated by grief over pregnancy loss, infertility, or postpartum depression and anxiety. You desperately want to find someone to talk to about how alone and sad you feel. You feel heartbroken, ashamed, and angry lately. Your world has stopped while everyone else seems to be living their best life. You find yourself having the same fights with your partner over and over again. Society glamorizes pregnancy and motherhood which can make you feel even more alone and misunderstood. If you see one more pregnancy announcement or social media post about the happiness of motherhood, you might lose it!
Your baby is important to you no matter how much time you have spent with them. You want to learn how to keep your baby’s memory alive. You want to learn how to experience happiness during this new transition to motherhood. You want to feel heard by someone without shame or judgment. You are not alone. As a woman, I have been there.

Ever feel like therapy is just…not for you?
Perfect! I love working with the therapy-resistant, the therapy-naive, and even the therapy-savvy (yes, even therapists need therapists!). I'm known for my direct, no-nonsense approach. Consider me your co-pilot on this journey of self-discovery. We'll both be putting in the effort—I'll bring the expertise, and you bring…well, you. I'll be right there with you, every step of the way, offering guidance, support, and maybe a few questionable jokes. Let's make this climb worthwhile.

"Our thoughts become our reality only when we allow them to turn into beliefs." I have been known as the "Self-Empowering" therapist, offering encouragement and giving hope to those in need. My Clinical Specialty Areas: Depression, Anxiety, Holistic Treatment & Christian Counseling.
I am a creative clinician to work with, thus making me open-minded to hearing your story and working at a comfortable pace.
Furthermore, my background in business and community work, along with clinical therapy, has allowed me to identify the need for "Green Couch therapy" as entrepreneurs and business owners are on the rise but have difficulty separating their self-worth from their business profit, or their mental health interferes with business productivity.

I can be a space for you to process what it means to be ADHD, how it has affected your life, (for good and for bad), and how you can move forward coming from a place of strength and and knowledge.

Frequently asked questions
Why filter by Ohio rather than a city
like Columbus?
When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Ohio from Cincinnati to Cleveland! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Ohio.
Will my therapist take Buckeye Health Plan - MyCare Ohio (Medicare-Medicaid Plan)?
Yes! If you use Buckeye Health Plan - MyCare Ohio (Medicare-Medicaid Plan) you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Buckeye Health Plan - MyCare Ohio (Medicare-Medicaid Plan) you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.
How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?
The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.
What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?
Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.
Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?
Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.
What to expect during your first session?
Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.
Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
