Therapists in Jefferson County, OH

My interest lies in working with individuals who isolate, have lost interest in the things they once enjoyed, and/or who think this world would be better off without them. I'm also interested in working with individuals who are tired of worrying, or want to be more social. And last, but not least, I take interest in working with individuals who “just want to be normal,” who can’t sleep for fear of having another nightmare, or who feel damaged because of a violation of their personal safety. In summary, I am interested in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and PTSD/trauma.

Welcome! I believe that counseling is a place to develop the skills necessary to enact meaningful changes in our lives and relationships.

I am a trauma-informed therapist who believes many of our problems come from how we respond to or avoid difficult thoughts, memories, feelings, and experiences. Anxiety, depression, grief, and uncertainty can all be a part of life. What is important is learning how to navigate them so they don't take control. Are you suffering from anxiety, worry, depression, or grief? Have you suffered trauma? Are you feeling overwhelmed, losing hope, or just wanting things to be different? You're not alone, and I believe you can make it through.

Being listened to can be life's greatest compliment. Once heard, we can be understood. Once understood, we can acquire direction. Combined with the work of counseling sessions, personal and life goals are achieved. With the integration of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors we become empowered.

Finding a therapist you can trust is tough! The best way to get a feel for what working together might look like is to give me a call. We can explore what our work together might look like and you can get a feel for my style and therapeutic approach. My hope is always to collaborate with you, to better understand your experience and to empower you to make changes in ways that bring freedom and change. Therapy is never easy, but it can be one of the most important investments you can make in your life, and your future.

I would like to welcome you to our office where you can feel comfortable and freely express your feelings, thoughts and problems and know it's confidential. With 49 years experience I am understanding, non-judgmental and a good listener. I am experienced in multiple treatment techniques that are available to help with anxiety, depression, PTSD or confusion about work related concerns, marital problems or situations that occurred in the past. that still have an impact on current feelings. I work with older children, teens and adults. Screening for ADHD, Dementia and achievement is available. My approach is person-centered.

Stressed, Overwhelmed, Trouble Coping? Have you been suffering from depression, stress, grief, trauma, mental or emotional issues? Symptoms can include but are not limited to: feeling sad, lonely, irritable, poor concentration, and anger. Life has many different obstacles that can cause difficulty functioning and completing activities related to daily living.

In my practice I provide a comforting relaxing non-judgmental atmosphere in which to process thoughts and feelings at your own pace. I also believe you are the "boss" because I don't live in your head or walk in your shoes. I will make suggestions as to how to cope, challenge, manage thoughts, and feelings while improving relationships through the process. I will never tell you what to do because it is up for you to decide as to what works best. My time with you will be focused on how I can help you become the best version of yourself.

The kind of client I most enjoy working with is an individual or group of persons who are able to be open to change and continue to stay open to the collaborative and creative process. Some clients that I have had the best outcomes with learned to trust their decision to stay focused on their healing and prioritized it. I have a passion for using therapy as a catalyst for transformative change.

Sometimes in life, we find ourselves stuck in patterns of relating to ourselves, others, and the world around us. Those ways of being may have once helped us get by, but now we struggle to free ourselves from the grip of the past. At other times, we might feel lost, uncertain where we steered off course or how to get back on track. Maybe it's as if we're trapped in a long, dark tunnel, doubting if we will ever get out and see light again. Frustrated, empty, alone, afraid, discouraged... Reaching out in times like these can be extremely difficult, but may be exactly what we need.

Life is too short to hold onto the experiences and moments bringing you down. I want to help you find balance in your life. Whether it's finding ways to manage anxiety, working through trauma, improving your mood, or handling psychosocial stressors, I am here to listen and help.

Hey there! It sure has been a rough day, week, month, year - you name it. When was the last time you just breathed? Stopped and breathed? Feeling like you are overwhelmed? Having a hard time putting your thoughts and feelings into words? What's stopping you from living your best life? In my practice I focus on creating a space for clients to just BE... just be here, just be present, just be yourself. Our time together will focus on learning ways to improve mood, reduce stress, make realistic goals, and create healthy boundaries/relationships. We all need a place to find solace, rest, and our inner strength.

I believe in personal growth and better family relationships. Because relationships give meaning to life, they need to be protected and nurtured. Learning effective communication skills is crucial to maintaining healthy relationships.

Life is complicated. Sometimes it can just be hard. You may be feeling overwhelmed. Lonely. Anxious. Lost. Numb. Take a breath and know that there is hope and you do not have to deal with this alone. I enjoy counseling individuals of all ages and helping them meet their goals. Pulling from a variety of treatment modalities based on the needs and strengths of the individual, we will work together to help you build the skills and confidence to cope throughout life's highs and lows.
