Life is full of transitions and challenges, and therapy offers a safe, supportive environment to develop the tools needed to navigate these experiences with resilience and confidence. My therapeutic style emphasizes the development of self-soothing and coping skills to process emotional difficulties while building practical strategies for daily life. I combine cathartic, engaging conversations with evidence-based strategies that support emotional healing and personal growth.
Common areas of focus in therapy include mood regulation, trauma recovery, gambling, substance use and misuse, supporting the family members of those that
misuse substances, grief and loss, impulsivity, attention and executive functioning challenges, and workplace-related stress. I am committed to walking alongside each person in their journey toward greater emotional well-being and life satisfaction
I am a LICSW providing Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) with 20 years’ experience in addictions and mental health, providing in person and virtual therapy in Shepherdstown, WV. I specialize in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and strategies to heal from Trauma.
