Sexual Abuse Therapists in Stow, OH

Welcome to my profile! I have a Master's Degree in Community Counseling from Kent State University and I am a licensed Professional Clinical Counselor for the State of Ohio. I have been licensed since 2002 and am actively practicing the profession of clinical counseling. I have specialized experience in treating children, adolescents, and adults with the following emotional health concerns: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, and Depressive Disorders. I assist clients with managing the stress that results from a history of abuse, exposure to violence, accidents (i.e. motor vehicle), and the stress involved in managing chronic illnesses.

Everyone is deserving of quality mental health care and support. I trust that you are the expert in your own life, you know what ails and aides yourself, and my role is to provide unconditional positive regard, empathy, and support as we collaboratively work together to identify goals and to create a plan to move toward them. I have worked with clients from ages 4 to 64 who have presented with a plethora of concerns including anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance use, adjusting through life transitions, breakups, academic concerns, and identity issues.

I have experience working with topics like trauma and anxiety. It is crucial for you to feel connected and understood by your therapist, which is why I want you to have an open space to freely express yourself-unfiltered, judgement free. My therapeutic goal is to help you create self-awareness, resiliency, and positive change. I utilize an empathetic, yet down to earth approach, to assist you in becoming the best version of yourself. I am an EMDR Trained Therapist through EMDRIA (emdria.org). EMDR has been proven to be extremely effective for trauma treatment.

I specialize in empowering clients to navigate and overcome challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. My practice stands out because of its holistic, client-centered philosophy. I believe in creating a safe, intuitive space that fosters self-expression and goal achievement. Here, every session is tailored to meet your unique needs, with an emphasis on discovering the joy and freedom in your journey towards healing.

You haven’t had it easy. The chaos you experienced from trauma and abuse is now over, but you can’t remember the last time you felt like yourself. You try to get over the past, but before you know it you're reminded of what happened all over again. Anxious and on edge, you do everything you can to help yourself feel okay, but nothing seems to last.

Have you witnessed or experienced a highly stressful or traumatic event that is affecting you in your day-to-day life? Was this event experienced during childhood? As an adult? Traumatic experiences can include infidelity, sexual/physical/psychological abuse, neglect as a child, sudden death of a loved one, or a serious accident or illness/medical procedure. You may notice being triggered by things that never caused stress for you in the past. I have extensive training and experience helping adults recover from the emotional responses to trauma including PTSD.

You're tired. Tired of suffering in silence from a history of trauma, a stressful life, crippling anxiety and depression. You're tired of feeling like you can't quite get close to anyone because trusting yourself and others is hard. You're tired of feeling low, stressed, overwhelmed, overstimulated, and like no matter what you do on your own you can't seem to find a way to feel better. Your tried and true coping skills just aren't working for you anymore, and you can't think of new ideas for coping. Any hobbies you used to enjoy, you can't seem to get into anymore because they don't bring your the joy they once have.

There are times in our life when we can feel "stuck" and unable to move forward to live the life that we desire and deserve. It takes strength and courage to reach out for help, but the rewards of therapy are life-changing. I assist clients in identifying what may be holding them back. I empower clients to gain insight into underlying issues, heal deep wounds, and create the life they desire and deserve. I am passionate about my therapeutic work and enjoy forming strong alliances with my clients, partnering with you throughout your personal journey of growth and discovery.

I am very passionate about my work with my clients. I use a humanistic and attachment-based approach with a systemic lens. I use a trauma-informed approach. I strive to assist my clients with reaching their goals through supportive reflection, insight building and expressive techniques. I see myself as a compass in a client's journey, assisting them reach their goal destination. I work well with a variety of personality types and presenting concerns, ranging from core attachment injuries to trauma to infidelity to anxiety & depression among others. I use a variety of techniques based on client fit.

I recognize that seeking therapy can be intimidating and that life can be difficult and unpredictable. I look forward to providing an environment in which clients feel at ease and I am ready to support them as they gain insight, learn new coping skills and navigate the complexities of being human.

Do you feel overwhelmed and frustrated by just getting through the day? Do you wonder if life could be better? Now more than ever, men face the challenge of safeguarding their families, ensuring financial stability, and managing the pressures of society, often while masking their true emotions with a 'happy face.'"
