Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Kettering, OH

The most important relationship you have is the one with yourself. We all have a story. Telling your story to an attuned listener can be transformational. Healing is a collaborative endeavor. As you share your experiences and I listen, you can become more connected to yourself. I work best with clients looking to address symptoms of trauma, depression, anxiety, stress management, relationship issues, and parenting problems. I believe digging deep into ourselves and learning how our early relationships in life impact our present coping strategies and feelings can help us move towards the future we want.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I adopt a collaborative approach, incorporating evidence-based treatment models tailored to your specific needs. Whether you're an individual, family, teenager, or child aged 7 and above, I'm equipped to address a range of concerns. My areas of expertise encompass family trauma, childhood trauma, the unique challenges faced by grandparents raising grandchildren, and parenting-related issues. Together, we'll embark on a therapeutic journey customized to support your well-being.

Limiting NEW clients to those seeking group counseling. Those seeking Eating Disorder Group treatment can be seen individually; if only interested in individuals, I can put you on my waiting list. Mental Health Support and Wellness group is open; I'm unable to take on individuals seeking individual general mental health counseling. Therapy is an opportunity for you to have support in taking a look at your life and yourself to make a change. Taking a new approach to face your challenges requires courage. I believe that allowing yourself to connect with others, such as in a group, can be an invaluable part of the healing process.

I ascribe to an Existential/Humanistic theoretical approach to counseling. I am interested in working with the LGBTQ community, those with chronic pain problems, chronic health problems, dissociative disorders, severe and persistent mental illness, women's issues, and suicide prevention. I enjoy helping people learn to cope and assist them in finding a resolution to the difficulties they experience in life. I do not work with couples or do relationship counseling.

My license concentrates on individual, marriage, family counseling, and play therapy for children. I have a specific interest and training in counseling anxiety, blended families, depression, grief, and working with children of variety of issues. I have earned my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. My experience as a professional started in 1995 treating children and adolescents in a long term residential counseling program to private practice for 20 years. My goal is being committed to offering comfort, healing and wholeness to those who are hurting.

You are the expert in your own life and struggles. However, we all lose our way sometimes and can forget the unique strengths we all posses. Therapy can be a useful tool to help rediscover our strengths, regain balance in our lives, take control of the issues that are causing distress, and set new goals for the future. My approach is action-oriented; together we will re-orient you to your values and goals, while also seeking to understand and heal the past and what brought you to therapy. I also believe self-compassion is key; learning to forgive yourself, and accept yourself and where you are in the present moment.

Relationships are complicated, parenting is hard and life is messy. Understanding these truths has given me the desire to help people who are struggling. No matter how overwhelming or insignificant you think the problem is, developing a counseling relationship can be beneficial. I will journey with you as you develop goals, coping strategies and communication skills. I honor that families are diverse in composition and adapt treatment to the individual needs of each client. I use a systemic approach and have a wide array of experience with grief counseling, anxiety, depression, women's issues, spiritual concerns, infidelity, life transitions, play therapy, infertility, elder concerns and self-esteem issues.
