Therapists in Kettering, OH

My approach to therapy is both focused on finding solutions and gaining understanding. First, I believe it is important to incorporate effective coping skills to mitigate the effects of any mental health concern. It is then often necessary to build insight as to the causes of these concerns in order to change problematic patterns in how we relate to ourselves and others. Anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship matters - I attempt to foster self-compassion and understanding in order to lighten the burden of difficult life situations.

Immediate openings I enjoy working with a variety of clients with many presenting problems. I work alongside my clients to help them meet their goals while motivating them to continue to grow in their therapeutic and personal journeys.

I believe that mental health issues arise when we are faced with overwhelming emotions in isolation. Without the necessary support, emotions get so big and daunting that we defend ourselves against them, leading to numbness, anxiety, and depression. My goal is to invite intense emotions into the room so that we can learn to regulate them together and they can be reincorporated into the psyche, leading to a fuller and healthier life.

You are not your problems, the problem is the problem! Together we can begin to discern the difference and take action toward change.

Every person's journey through life is unique and will inevitably bring about challenging situations, particularly when we feel unable to handle the challenges we are facing. As your therapist, my goal is to provide you with a trusting and warm environment, to allow you to explore and gain understanding of the challenges you face, as well as the possibilities that may create a positive change. I utilize person-centered and integrated approaches in therapy to address the dynamics of your inner life and commit to supporting your emotional growth, which allows me to create a therapeutic experience that's unique to each client.

When I decided to pursue a career as a therapist I did so because I wanted to make the world a better place, and decided to do that by helping one person at a time . My primary approach to mental health counseling is the Person -Centered approach . This means I believe that no one knows you better than you know yourself. It is my job to help you identify goals , improve communication , strengthen self-esteem and develop solutions and coping skills. During the counseling process you are in the driver's seat, I am just a GPS to help you on the road to better mental health. However, I'm not closed to other counseling approaches.

My clients want to live richer, more emotionally balanced lives and have more fulfilling relationships. They are curious about their lives: "Is this all there is?" or "How did I get into this mess?" My clients soon realize that "going it alone in silence" is depressing and not hopeful. They see me as a trusted friend who cares about them. I see people just like you--healing from loss and grief due to the endings of relationships. I counsel parents who have relationship issues with their adult children. I help persons when their religion/spirituality seems to have ended. I help couples repair and rekindle their relationship.

Are you exhausted from wrestling your inner demons or existing in the past? Does it feel like you have been living life on autopilot or as an outside observer? We can only carry the weight of our inner world for so long until inevitably something has to give. It's at this breaking point that we seek outside help and if you have reached this point it would be my privilege to walk with you. I am committed to coming alongside you in finding healing, meaning, and a sense of being alive. It is my goal to nourish space where you are seen and safe to develop and empower your authentic self.
