Compassion Focused Therapists in Saint Clairsville, OH

I hold that you inherently deserve unconditional love and acceptance - and that healing must include the internal relationship to Self, in order to welcome a profound connectedness to others. I see trauma not as something wrong with you, but something right - a deep wisdom rising up that must be heard. In collaboration we will design the path that best serves your healing, whether through tools of immediate relief (like parasympathetic release / polyvagal theory) or in long arcs of subtle process toward deeper healing (like Somatic Internal Family Systems and EMDR).

In my practice I develop a trusting, professional relationship with the client. Many of the issues they present with include depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, grief, feelings of being overwhelmed, unhealthy coping skills and overall life dissatisfaction. I work best with a client ready to accept responsibility to feel better.

Welcome! My passion is to collaborate with clients to remove barriers and find strength within themselves in order to heal and grow in their lives. I feel that therapy is most successful when the client comes to these changes through their own empowerment and psychoeducation. We can then work together to find healthy solutions to their issues and realize their needs. I have experience working in both hospital and private outpatient settings. This ranged from group therapy to individual therapy to case management. Through these different experiences, I have practiced in both mental health and substance use disorder treatment.

If you struggle with anger management, communication difficulties, depression or anxiety, or even substance abuse: you are not alone as these are things we all face to some degree at some time or another. Unaddressed childhood trauma can cause lifelong problems in attaching and forming long-term relationships and you can learn to deal effectively with those things that are hindering you in moving forward in your life and accomplishing your goals.

You have hit a breaking point where your anxiety has taken over. It’s running your life and it feels like you’ve lost control… which is not your favorite feeling. You are desperate to not have to go through your day with this feeling of dread, this knot in your stomach that just won’t let you relax and enjoy those little moments in your life that you so desperately want to enjoy. You lie awake at night and think about all of the things you said/didn’t say, the things you did/didn’t do. Your family tries to be supportive but they don’t understand that you can’t just “stop worrying about it”.

I specialize in empowering clients to navigate and overcome challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. My practice stands out because of its holistic, client-centered philosophy.

Here, every session is tailored to meet your unique needs, with an emphasis on discovering the joy and freedom in your journey towards healing.

I believe that every person has the ability to be the best version of themselves and I look forward to being able to help people achieve that. Every person is unique and I will meet you where you are so that we can develop a relationship based on trust, respect, and support.
