I’ve worn many hats in my career – from food scientist to consumer insight specialist in various corporate positions – but none has been more rewarding (or challenging!) than the many ‘behind-the-scenes’ hats I wear at Blue Boat Counseling (that yes, I do own with my husband, Andy). It’s an honor and a gift to work with such a talented and amazing group of humans, helping people right here in my hometown of Worthington, Ohio. We do great work here, and it’s my sincere hope that you find the help you’re seeking from our team. Welcome to our Blue Boat – I’m happy you’re here, taking the first step toward hope and healing.

Let us help

With excellent therapists in an environment that feels better than the rest, we take pride in offering an upscale counseling experience to our Worthington community and surrounding Columbus area.  We understand taking that first step toward counseling is a big one, but it’ll be worth it, and we’re here to help you be you.
