Therapists in Barboursville, VA

I work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, attachment injury, trauma & PTSD; family conflict; life transitions; grief, and loss.

No matter how strong we are in meeting the challenges of life sometimes what happens to us heaps upon us a mountain of stress and we can do little but feel the pain of all that weight. Our goal is to help those we serve be effective in resolving personal pain through the empowerment of their natural strengths. Step by measured step, we work to build durability, and self-respect through skill building to overcome the pains that make life less enjoyable. We want to help you to move that mountain of pain one stone a time- by skillful means.

Parenting, being a teenager, and being in a relationship can be some of the most fulfilling and challenging parts of life! I specialize in helping people, who are in strained relationships or struggling with trauma and other things that are private, find a new path. Life is full of difficulties, but often underneath it all is a lack of connection and belonging. I make it safe for teens and parents, adults and couples to get unstuck and talk about the real stuff that makes it difficult to live a satisfied life and thrive.

Hello! Life may surprise us with many positive experiences; however, there are also times when things do not go right.

Increasing self-awareness is a key point to understanding causes of distress one might feel. This can be accomplished through identifying problems, detecting unhealthy patterns, looking into deeper meanings of the events and core values. Tapping into past experiences and the unconscious mind can bring an important insight necessary for gaining control over our life. I provide a warm, welcoming environment for my clients, so they feel safe to open up and find the answers that they need.

Since youth, I wondered about human behavior and why people do what they do. To explore this interest further I took a class in comparative behavior and loved it. Since then I looked for opportunities to learn more about people, their actions, and their feelings while trying to find ways to help them improve their lives and feel better. I am lucky enough to be trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I used this advanced therapy process in California at the Anne Sippi Clinics in the service of those suffering severe adult psychopathology (mental health issues) early on in his career.
