Hi, I'm

         Aidan

integrative mental health therapist

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working with adults and couples in Ohio, North Carolina, and Illinois.

I became a therapist because I'm genuinely curious about people — what shapes them, what keeps them stuck, and what it actually takes to change. That curiosity led me to marriage and family therapy, where I learned to look at the whole picture: not just symptoms in isolation, but the relationships, experiences, and patterns that surround them.

Over time, I kept noticing something. Insight alone often isn't enough. People could understand exactly why they did something and still not be able to stop doing it. That's what drew me toward somatic and body-based work — Brainspotting, nervous system regulation, yoga, and other approaches that work beneath the level of thought. I'm a 200-hour trained yoga teacher, and that foundation quietly shapes how I work. The mind and body aren't separate, and the most meaningful change tends to happen when we work with both.

I started my own practice because I wanted to do this work on my own terms — with the depth, flexibility, and intentionality it deserves. That's part of why I offer therapy intensives alongside weekly sessions. Some people are ready for focused, immersive work rather than the slow drip of fifty minutes a week. I wanted to be able to offer that.

 

​​

The people I work best with are curious about themselves. They're often high-functioning on the outside — managing work, relationships, responsibilities — while carrying more than anyone realizes. They take the work seriously, but they don't take themselves so seriously that there's no room for humor. They're open to exploring what's happening in the body, not just the mind. And they're ready to actually move, not just understand.

If that sounds like you, I'd love to connect.

        A little more about me:

Outside of sessions, I'm a reader, a nature person, and someone who takes her hockey very seriously. I believe that joy shows up in small places, and I try to stay awake to that — in my own life and in the work.
