Room to Rise Counseling
Specialized online counseling for adult individuals and couples throughout Ohio
Every person and relationship has a unique story. Whether you are struggling with communication, building trust after betrayal, facing unwanted patterns you want to change, or carrying the impact of past experiences, counseling can provide a place to better understand yourself and create meaningful change.
At Room to Rise Counseling, I provide compassionate, specialized therapy that combines deeper understanding with practical tools to help you move toward healthier relationships and a more fulfilling life.
Building connection, trust, and healthier relationships
Couples Counseling
Relationships can become stuck in painful patterns. Couples may find themselves caught in repeated conflicts, feeling emotionally disconnected, struggling to communicate, or unsure how to move forward after difficult experiences.
I help couples better understand their relationship patterns, improve communication, strengthen emotional connection, and develop the skills needed to build a healthier partnership.
A particular area of focus: Healing after betrayal
When trust has been damaged through infidelity, pornography use, or other relationship wounds, couples often face a unique set of challenges. Pain, anger, confusion, shame, and fear about the future can make it difficult to know how to move forward.
I have specialized experience as a Certified Gottman Therapist (CGT) helping couples navigate the process of building trust, understanding the impact of betrayal, and creating the foundation for a stronger relationship.
Using Gottman Method Couples Therapy and other evidence-based approaches, we will work together to create greater safety, honesty, connection, and hope.
Moving beyond shame toward integrity and change
Counseling for Problematic Sexual Behaviors and Pornography-Related Concerns
Many individuals struggle privately with pornography use or other sexual behaviors that feel out of alignment with their values, relationships, or the person they want to become.
These struggles are often accompanied by shame, secrecy, frustration, and a sense of feeling stuck. Counseling provides a confidential and nonjudgmental space to understand the deeper roots of these patterns while developing practical tools for lasting change.
As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), I specialize in helping individuals address problematic sexual behaviors, develop healthier coping strategies, rebuild confidence, and move toward greater integrity in their relationships and personal lives.
Understanding how the past continues to shape the present
Developmental and Relational Trauma Therapy
Our early experiences and relationships can deeply influence how we see ourselves, connect with others, and respond to life’s challenges.
Developmental and relational trauma can affect emotional regulation, self-worth, trust, and relationships long after the original experiences have passed.
Together, we can explore how these experiences have shaped your current struggles while building new patterns of healing, connection, and growth.
As a Developmental and Relational Trauma Therapist (DARTT), I help clients move toward greater understanding, self-compassion, and healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.
Faith-Informed Counseling
For clients who desire it, I am comfortable incorporating Christian faith perspectives and tools into the counseling process.
Faith can be an important source of meaning, identity, healing, and hope. Counseling can make space for these conversations while respecting each client’s unique journey and goals.
