Therapists in Athens, OH

I want clients to experience the relief that comes with freedom from depression, loss, trauma, and anxiety. I believe that a strong therapeutic bond is one of the keys to mental healing and well-being. I am a Christ-follower, I embrace a Biblical worldview, and I bring a calm, judgement-free perspective to the table. I will respect your decision when it comes to taking or not taking anti-depression or anti-anxiety meds. This is your journey, you are the expert on your own life, and you have my full attention, backing, and support.

Accepting new clients, including in-network availability. Are you struggling with an overwhelming storm of anxiety, depression, or grief? Have you tried everything you can think of to get rid of difficult thoughts and emotions and just feel more stuck? I hear you. I believe that it is just plain wrong for anyone to feel like there is no hope for them to heal and recover. If you are navigating difficult emotions (anxiety or depression) or life circumstances (like change or some form of loss), I can help you. I strive to empower and equip clients with the support and tools they need to navigate the challenges they face.

Clients who are struggling but wanting to not only heal, but also grow have the potential for being extremely powerful people. We have all gone through difficult times, experiencing anxiety, fear, depression, and hopelessness. However, if we have healed, we look back and see those times as hard, but some of the most powerful in our lives. Hearts can become strong, marriages can be healed and become euphoric, and our families can become strong, powerful, and beautiful. If you have a Christian background, I can help you become stronger in your faith. If you want to become a stronger leader, I am also an executive coach.

Do you feel 'stuck' in life's transitions? Have you disqualified yourself due to life experiences? Interpersonal relationships, empty nest, work changes, and other issues bring things to the surface we didn't expect to experience. We may not like ourselves. It doesn't have to stay that way! Maybe the work world has exposed areas of interpersonal growth needed to advance in your field, or you're ready to finally chase your dream. It's never too late to discover a new skill, career, identity, purpose, and direction. You have an opportunity within your current challenges to use it as as springboard to see your dreams become reality.

I am glad you are here! Life is tough at times. Relationships can be as well. We are not meant to try to deal with it all alone. Wouldn't it be freeing to take charge of your own life? What if someone could come alongside you to help you take steps to explore yourself, deal with the past, become the best version of yourself, work through hard times, and meet your goals? As a team, we will build on your strengths so that you leave our sessions feeling equipped and empowered! Taking the first step to seek a more fulfilling life or relationship takes courage. I will support that process and look forward to our journey together!

I use many approaches, including CBT, EMDR and Mindfulness. My past experience includes work at Maryhaven and Dublin Springs Hospital.

It’s fine. I'm fine. Everything is FINE! How many times have we said that to ourselves or others and deep down we know it isn't true? Sometimes it’s just easier to tell ourselves that rather than get to the root of the problem. Are you a highly functioning person who feels more anxious, unsettled, alone, frustrated, or empty than you’d like? Ongoing optimism, a growth-mindset, acceptance, and a nonjudgmental space help my clients move forward. I have previously worked with a diverse range of clients at Ohio Wesleyan University, in various public and private education roles, and in several corporate positions.
