Therapists in Martinsburg, WV

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, providing individual therapy to adolescents, adults, and families. I strive to provide a safe, confidential, and supportive environment in which healing and restoration is fostered. With a decade of post-graduate experience, I am passionate about providing a holistic approach to treatment, including mind, body, and spirit in the treatment process. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults dealing with a variety of issues.

I meet clients with an emphasis on a safe, affirming therapeutic relationship as a place to begin healing. I enjoy working with people who are ready for a change or who want to deepen their understanding of self. I believe that exploring past experiences alongside the present helps us understand what we may need to feel better in our lives. My aim is to challenge you in a collaborative way so that you can find a path toward what you want. You already have strengths that have allowed you to make it here today, and we'll work together to determine what comes next.

I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy. My goals are to assist you with problem areas of your life. I offer a safe and judgement free space for you to explore your issues.

Therapy is an incredibly vulnerable process that involves stripping down the emotional armor we have collected over years of struggle, insecurity, or fear. For some the idea of therapy feels like the sweetest release and for others this idea feels incredibly intimidating. Often times, individuals present for their first sessions after an acute stressor, a period of prolonged distress, or even a previously failed treatment. Regardless of the precipitating factor, people often enter therapy when they feel hurt and alone. Many come with bruised hearts and tired souls, uncertain of what their struggles mean about their ability to heal.

I enjoy working with adults, teens, people who have experienced trauma, LGBTQIA+ and gender-diverse people, artists, and those who seek a perspective of body-liberation. I believe that everyone deserves a safe and compassionate space to explore their unique experiences, stories, and challenges. I seek to understand the complex intersections of identity and how they impact mental health and well-being. My goal is to help clients develop the tools they need to heal, grow, and thrive. If you're looking for a therapist who is affirming, non-judgmental, and dedicated to helping you achieve your goals, I would be honored to work with you.
