Infidelity, Affair, and High Conflict Couple Counseling in Columbus, Ohio

Rebuilding a Relationship is an Art and a Science

The Dream You Had For Your Relationship Is Still Possible

When commit to our partners, we form a vision for our shared future—a powerful dream that inspires, supports, and drives us. Along the way, through life’s inevitable demands, raising a family, building our careers, or personal challenges, our focus can shift away from that dream begin start to fade. Often, we put so much effort into building successful careers, businesses, or families; that our relationshp starves in the process. Our love often finds its way to the bottom of the priority list.

Days turn into weeks, maybe even years. Suddenly, you look up and your relationship has fundamentally changed. The result is far from the future you envisioned for “us.”

You may have tried every other option: advice from family or friends, self-help books, podcasts, waiting until it gets better, or maybe even some of the generic suggestions from a clueless AI. Yet, nothing seems to get to the heart of what is happening in your relationship. The silence from avoidance, the disappointment from unmet needs, or the seismic shock of a major betrayal can create a seemingly bottomless divide you don’t know how to cross.

This is where I come in.

Pursuing Excellence in Relationshp Work

Healing a marriage or partnership is a delicate balance of art and science. I see relationship challenges as opportunities for remarkable growth, and current adversity as a catalyst for the change you may have needed for years. My expertise also includes navigating the complex landscape of betrayal trauma—which is deeply rooted in secrets that erode safety and trust, regardless of the relationship structure (monogamous or non-monogamous).

I have invested more than a decade deep-diving into exactly what relationships like yours need to heal and thrive. I realize it is impossible to be great in every aspect of counseling, so I strive to be exceptional at this thing: building amazing relationships that last a lifetime.

My commitment to this work drives this practice. I opened Reconnecting Columbus in 2016 because I realized Columbus, Ohio, was in dire need of qualified, experienced, and passionate couple counselors. A year later, I asked my own partner to take over running the practice so I could refocus entirely on pursuing excellence in relationship therapy. We share a fervor for building healthy relationships and we make sure that is evident in every aspect of our practice. You can learn more about our story here.

My Unique Committment To This Work

My advanced training and dedication provide access to a wealth of knowledge and tools to help partners in the most dire situations:

  • Certified Affair Recovery Counselor
  • Gottman Method (Levels 1 & 2)
  • Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT)

I will thoughtfully create a personalized and comprehensive plan to address your specific challenges. My approach supports partners through relational trauma to build healthy, loving, enduring partnerships. I help motivated couples transform significant challenges into a partnership defined by love, respect, closeness, and appreciation. This work is not complete doom and gloom; my signature dry humor and colorful metaphors are known for keeping the sessions engaging!

A motivated couple can move through this journey of reconnection and rediscover their partnership of connection, admiration, passion, and intimacy. When partners are committed to the process, they can be successful. I am committed to seeing it through with you, helping you move from seeing one another as enemies to becoming best friends. Your legacy can be solidified, your relationship dreams can be reality.

Invest in Your Legacy

Relationship distress impacts every aspect of your life—your career, your parenting, your friendships, and your fundamental hope for the future. Healing betrayal wounds or disrupting the cycle of conflict isn’t easy, but the results are worth the work. The results do not just effect you, they could change the people connected to you.

If you are ready to put the work into the potential greatness within your relationship, I am eager to show you how.

You’ve probably waited long enough. Let’s get started.
