Deciding you are ready to make a lifelong change can be a difficult decision, or maybe you are ready to start living the life you have envisioned and the choice is obvious. Either way, our team of qualified professionals is ready to work with you to help you determine specific goals that will improve your quality of life and enrich your relationships. We invite you into our comfortable environment. We will maintain a caring and non-judgmental stance, and will patiently follow your lead to your path to peace.

There is no need to struggle in silence. Life can become overwhelming, confusing, and difficult to manage. Do you find yourself repeating past patterns and behaviors that are destructive? Therapy is a place to regain a sense of self and purpose. Together we will find your strengths, re-examine harmful patterns, and reconnect you to a healthy life where you feel connected and fulfilled. I have over twenty-four years of working as a licensed therapist (WV LPC). I am a Certified EMDR therapist. I also have training in other evidence-based treatment modalities including Emotionally Focused Therapy and AEDP.

Deciding to start therapy is not always easy. It takes courage, commitment and a desire to make a positive difference in your life. If you have decided you are ready to make lasting changes in your life then finding a therapist is your next step. How do you choose the right therapist for you? If you are looking for someone who will listen to you unconditionally, without judgment, who shows empathy regarding your situation, who is easy to talk with and provides a space where you can feel safe, then I might be the therapist for you.

I specialize in the treatment of children, adolescents, and families with emotional, behavioral, and relationship issues. I also specialize in the treatment of women's issues. I utilize an eclectic approach and choose a treatment modality based on consideration of the client's individual needs, strengths, and weaknesses.

I believe in your ability to overcome anxiety and depression. Let me help you learn to believe in yourself, too. With knots in our stomach and racing thoughts overwhelming our mind, it can be challenging to think we can feel better. You deserve the chance to untangle anxious thoughts and heal from past trauma. I believe you already have the qualities you need to feel better. It's just my job to shine a flashlight in the darkness when you struggle to navigate your way to long-term solutions. I truly enjoy helping individual adults, teens, parents, and families reach a healthier level of functioning and satisfaction in their life.

I am here to help you heal the distress you are feeling coming from anxiety, depression addiction, trauma, PTSD or family problems. It can be hard to connect with a therapist at first. You don't know this person and how are you going to feel trusting and secure with a stranger? Yet you are in pain and need help. It is just a first step, one that does not have to lead to commitment. You are in charge and are simply "auditioning" to see if this connection feels good and helpful.
