Washington Court House, OH 43160
I offer therapy for children, adolescent teens, and adults who suffer from a manifestation of psychological issues. These issues may include anxiety, depression, PTSD, personality disorders, disruptive, impulse-control, conduct disorders, and substance abuse issues. Psychological issues are difficult for individuals to surmount independently; therefore, with education and specialized therapy services, these individuals can not only learn how to develop coping mechanisms, but learn how to implement them. The Cognitive Behavioral Theory Approach is implemented with clients because it focuses on how an individual thinks can change feelings, behaviors, and distorted thinking patterns. The Client Centered and Existential Theory Approach are also implemented in therapy.

I have experience working with children, adolescents and their families in an outpatient and school based settings.
Feeling anxious and overwhelmed may seem like your normal, but I assure you that you were not created to live that way. Peace and contentment is very possible given the right skills and support. Perhaps feeling stuck or trapped is where you have been lately and it is affecting other areas of your life where you are not living as your best self. Relationships can be hard especially if we have stressors weighing us down so we feel even more defeated. Feeling good about yourself and others is very possible as most people were not given the coping strategies needed and survival is where many people are at. You don't have to be.

For several years I have been fortunate enough to work and help provide services to children and families affected by violence and trauma.
Trauma is powerful. When individuals experience trauma it is both a physical and psychological experience. It can shake us to our core and can change the way we perceive ourselves and our world. We may no longer feel that we can trust in others. Or we may feel that we are alone and we will never recover. We can experience intense emotions such as feelings of shame, guilt, hopelessness, worthlessness, anxiety, depression, anger and despair. Although, trauma is powerful and can affect us this does not mean we are lost. There are people who want to help. We are mental health professionals and it is our goal to heal those in need.

Life can seem overwhelming and intense, at times it may feel like the chaos and confusion are too much to bear on your own. Conflicts within ourselves, our spouses, family, friends and children arise, uncertainty of when it will end begins to consume us and starts to feel normal. Sometimes life has felt like this since childhood, carrying a weight that is too heavy, creating patterns and a lifestyle that just aren’t working. Children can experience intense and uncertain feelings, not knowing how to regulate their emotions, or seek out validation can lead to confusion that transpires into adulthood.
