Therapists in Martinsburg, WV

As a therapist, my primary goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship to assist you in meeting your goals. Whether you are seeking therapy to heal past wounds or address current issues, my approach is a collaborative one, building upon your personal strengths and resilience. I provide individual, family, and/or couples therapy to address a variety of mental health symptoms, behavioral disorders, and relationship problems.

My therapy practice is trauma informed, person centered, and affirming of the LGBTQ community. I work with general mental health experiences, including mood, stress, and anxiety. I identify as Genderqueer and Bi-Racial. I enjoy working with folks from different ethnicities and races, as well as those who are exploring their gender and sexuality. I graduated from Shepherd University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology and a minor in Environmental Studies. I went on to obtain Masters of Social Work from West Virginia University.

As a therapist and licensed psychologist, I’ve enjoyed working with people, helping them find resources and ways to cope with difficulties like sadness, regret, worries and fears, isolation, negative self-image, loss of control over self and situations, difficulties with mood and ways of being, and troubling patterns of behavior. Some of my most rewarding experiences have been helping people discover or reconnect with themselves and others, finding new ways of being in each and every moment, and charting a new course through life, one full of purpose, direction, and meaning.

My goal in counseling each individual is to help them feel and get better. I have been working with children and adolescents in this field for over 20 years in areas such as ADHD, Autism, anxiety, and behavior issues as well as struggles in the family unit. In addition to this, I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and life stressors who want to improve their moods and make positive life changes for themselves.

Sometimes issues affecting one family member end up impacting the whole family. Is your child struggling in school? Is your family going through a transition such as a divorce, a move or other such disruption? Are you struggling to communicate with your spouse? Do you have a foster/adopted child who has been affected by trauma? All of these (and more) are reasons to seek counseling. I love working with clients to identify strategies to help you create a happy and healthy environment for your family.

Insanity is repeatedly doing the same thing, yet expecting different results. Ironically, someone living with chronic stress uses the same strategy. Hoping their "I'll get through this somehow" attitude will make the stress go away. Symptoms such as anxiety and depression, trouble sleeping, growing impatience and anger with others, trouble concentrating and making decisions, secretly feeling bad about oneself, guilty and resentful are all indicators one is out of balance. Let me help you remove this distress before it results in health issues. I have years of successful experience teaching clients powerful interventions to transform stress into personal empowerment.

My approach in counseling is somewhat holistic and eclectic. I believe a supportive counseling environment works to help a client achieve awareness, thus leading to healing and personal growth. My role is to help clients explore their emotional needs and provide feedback. Hopefully, the value will be realized in both behavioral and emotional changes. Under all circumstances, my mission is to treat the client with the utmost regard and honor the human condition as it is. Counseling hours are available most days at your convenience. Often clients are able to schedule an appointment with 24 hours of calling my office.
