Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Canfield, OH

I am passionate about treating individuals in the Mahoning Valley who are experiencing distress due to changes in their lives or symptoms that have become unmanageable. I focus on a collaborative approach in identifying behaviors that no longer serve you and assist in replacing them with coping strategies and interventions suited to your needs. Each session is tailored to the individual and presenting problems in order to best address what you need and what fits into your lifestyle. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Sociology from The Ohio State University, and Master's degree in Counseling from Youngstown State.

Therapy should be challenging and something worth looking forward to. Think about approaching treatment with evidence based traditional practices while coloring outside of the lines to develop your true self. Mindfulness strategies and techniques help guide the process while you learn adaptive skills and complete a journey to self-awareness.

I am interested in treating individuals who feel emotional distress. This could be from anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and social/relational issues. Many people engage in dysfunctional coping strategies that only produce short-term relief, but actually perpetuate the distress. This ultimately makes them distress intolerant. I am interested in motivating my clients to manage their distress more effectively. I have over 20 years of clinical experience. I have graduate degrees in Clinical Psychology and Social Work.
