I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of WV, able to virtually meet with people across the state and those near by in office, as they choose . I have six years of experiences in many areas of therapy. I want to help others find their path to gain control of their struggles with mental health issues, and empower them by finding the right tools and ways of thought to bring empowerment to their lives. I have found that my strengths as a therapist include crisis management, depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, BPD, trauma, couples counseling and helping those struggling with gender identity and LGBTQ+ issues.

Recent and current events have brought an increase in anxiety, depression, and substance misuse. If you feel overwhelmed and exhausted, I can help. We will work together to gain insight and find the path for your healing.

I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of adults with anxiety disorders including panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder. As a cognitive behavioral therapist with over 30 years of experience, I rely on evidence-based practices to help my clients. Over my career, I have worked in a variety of settings including hospital inpatient, day program, community mental health, nursing homes, and private practice. This enables me to bring a broad range of experience to my practice.

You've just taken a positive and important step towards the possibility for change and personal growth! Perhaps you find you're experiencing adjustment difficulties, relationship issues, sadness, daily life conflicts or career issues. Maybe you're facing uncertainty or you're at a transition or turning point in your life. The complicated feelings of distress, anxiety, depression can be immobilizing. Life is challenging and my experience has taught me how valuable psychotherapy can be towards forward movement and meaningful change.

Change can be difficult, seem impossible, and leave a person feeling overwhelmed, powerless, and destined to stay stuck. I believe that change is achievable, and each person can become the person he/she wants to be in life. The process of change is unique for each person, and it is my goal to empower and encourage each person to identify and harness personal strengths while overcoming problematic thoughts and behaviors. Change is challenging but possible. I would like to help you achieve your change.

You’re stuck. You try to make other people happy, even if it doesn’t make you happy. You’re facing life changes and big decisions, and you’re so afraid of screwing up. Now imagine living life as your authentic self, having the confidence to make decisions that help you achieve the goals you desire.

"Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen" --Brene Brown. I realize that starting therapy can be a vulnerable and sometimes intimidating experience, which is why I work to create a safe space where you and I can work collaboratively to explore your concerns and help you move forward. Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or sad? Do you need help in setting healthy boundaries or working through past traumas and experiences? I enjoy helping adults and adolescents process thoughts and life experiences to gain insight, make positive life changes, and improve mood.

I work with individuals to help manage life’s big transitions and decisions. You may be wrestling with anxiety or low self-esteem, and feeling frustrated that things which once came easily are now more of a struggle. You do not have to manage these difficulties alone.

Now more than ever I see individuals struggling to get through their daily lives, having a hard time being themselves and finding it difficult to connect with others. This may happen over time when living a life that is in conflict with your inner truth(s). You may be struggling to express who you are or what you want. These kinds of struggles, on top of other factors such as anxiety, burn out, compassion fatigue, the stressors of daily living and showing up for loved ones are all just some reasons to consider contacting a therapist.

Seeking help takes courage. Therapy can provide a space to learn more about yourself and find new ways to navigate life’s challenges. I work with individuals who experience military-related concerns; boundary setting, imposter syndrome, family of origin issues, family-related trauma, or attachment ruptures, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am also prior service military and have some insight regarding this culture.

My goals are to support you in developing life-enhancing emotions such as self-compassion, humor, and gratitude while also learning how to relate to all emotions as fleeting; as messengers of our experiences. This ultimately helps you relate differently to stress, fear, and anxiety, empathize with others, communicate more effectively, and build healthier relationships. When we can learn to honor our internal experiences, relate to our emotions in a non-judgmental way, and treat ourselves with compassion, we can begin to create change and build meaningful lives for ourselves.

I over 15 years experience in helping people with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, everyday life stressors and challenges. I specialize in helping adults overcome challenges associated with trauma, anxiety, and depression. I believe in encouraging clients to focus on embracing change because and to recognize they deserve greater inner peace, a healthier life.

Emotional and behavioral challenges in childhood and adolescence affects the child and rest of the family unit as well. Caregivers often find themselves heartbroken while they watch their child struggle through issues they wish they could take away, and if the child is acting out behaviorally, it is common for caregivers to even feel hurt and confused. I offer therapy services for children ages 3 and up, as well as adults and families for the diagnosis and treatment of emotional, relational, and behavioral concerns, as well as offer support services and psychoeducation to their caregivers and other family members.

My personal practice is centered on curiosity, openness, and understanding. I will never claim to know exactly what it is like to live the life you’ve lived (as we’re all so unique!), but I will do my best to hear your story in the way you want it to be heard. Together, we will work as a team to identify, understand, and challenge the things that keep you feeling stuck. I aim to help my clients cultivate self-compassion and develop coping and self-regulation tools that can be accessed no matter what life may throw their way. My experience is primarily in working with complex trauma, anxiety, disordered eating, and LGBTQ+ issues.
