Attachment-based Therapists in Morgantown, WV

Every young person should have the opportunity to reach their potential however stressors and challenges can cause barriers that prevent this. As a child and adolescent therapist, I create an open and safe environment where a young person has the freedom to explore their developing awareness of themselves and their place in the world around them. Having an accepting space where individuals feel seen and heard promotes an individual’s own capacity for self-healing, growth, and change.

I am here to walk that journey with you; together, we will work towards helping you get back to living your best life.
