Positive Psychology Therapists in Logan, OH

Seeking care for mental health is as wise as caring for physical health. Whether there are symptoms or you simply want a "check-up," mental healthcare is an important part of overall well-being. I'm not here to tell you what's "wrong" with you but instead, to explore what what you've experienced, how you've survived, and your hopes for the future. We are all individuals and products of our environment, with unique strengths and survival behaviors that have helped during difficult times. My goal is to help you identify those strengths so they can be used with intention to reach your desired potential and live a whole-hearted life.

Are you a young adult woman experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, and even trauma? Self-discovery and creating/finding identity are goals I work best with. In my most recent job, I have found that domestic violence survivors and women who experience issues specific to being a woman have piqued my interest. As a therapist, the most rewarding thing is to guide women toward embracing themselves for who they are, heal past wounds, and empower them to live fully and authentically. I believe I have been given a purpose in this world to serve others, and that's what I was created to do.

I am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) in Ohio with decades of experience supporting individuals and families through difficult transitions, complex interpersonal & family disputes, and the devastating impact of trauma. I work with teens & young adults struggling to see their path forward, as well as the families striving to support them. I welcome the opportunity to work with individuals of any age who want to live their best life.

I help my clients learn to use their personal strengths to eliminate stress and establish new patterns of behavior to make their lives healthier and happier. We work together to address issues of low self-confidence, the fear of public speaking, a lack of supportive relationships or health-related problems. I enjoy seeing the positive changes my clients make as they achieve their goals that lead to a more satisfying life.

I believe that everyone has an innate ability to move towards growth, healing, and fulfillment. I approach therapy from a perspective learning and believe that the more we learn about ourselves, the better able we are to make choices about how we want to move forward in life. I use an integrative framework to address each client’s individual needs. I work from a trauma informed lens and use interventions from existential, Attachment Theory, Gottman, ACT, IPT, and EFT.

I am passionate about trauma, depression, anxiety, LGBQT concerns, personality disorders, and neurodivergence. An ideal client is an individual who has a growth mindset and explores their thoughts and feelings and how they impact their behavior. They may not understand how those thoughts derived from past experiences, but they are willing to open old wounds given the right tools. They feel safe and secure and want to heal through hard work and determination.

My philosophy is that within each of us is the capacity to flourish. Counseling can be transformational for people working through life transitions, painful emotions, challenging relationships, and so much more. Together we can work to implement practical strategies that cultivate positive wellbeing and decrease stress. I help my clients to deepen their awareness and self-compassion so that they can feel empowered to make nurturing choices for themselves each day.

Accepting new clients! I help people overcome difficulty and use it to grow and pursue a life of meaning and purpose. Sometimes we start by treating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, career, or LGBTQ+ and other identity issues, and over time turn to deeper issues about the life you want to create, your identity, and your values. I’m a humanistic counselor, which means I’ll never tell you what to do and I’ll always empower you to make the choice that’s best for you. I use a collaborative, gentle approach that helps you connect with your intuitive sense of self and your intrinsic motivation to grow and do difficult things.

We are all a story, shaped by our unique identities, experiences, strengths, and challenges. As we navigate new situations and overcome obstacles, we learn more about ourselves and develop the skills and strategies that support our growth and healing. We improve our ability to discern what aligns with our goals, needs, and values. We can also recognize those things that no longer guide us toward a sense of well-being. In therapy, we'll collaborate to discover and explore the type(s) of meaningful change you seek.
