TRICARE Therapists in Morgantown, WV

I provide a safe and compassionate space where clients can be themselves and truly share their story with me. We all have unhelpful thoughts/coping strategies/emotional patterns that we pick up along the way that may have helped us adapt in the past but have kept us from growing. I utilize my client’s strengths to help them find their voice and empower them to make the changes to achieve the life they want. I have years of experience in helping people with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship issues as well as everyday life stressors and challenges.

I work from a person-centered approach to promote an empowering atmosphere for my clients. It is important to me to help clients become aware of their own unique set of strengths that give them the ability to create positive change in their lives and relationships. I am passionate about facilitating growth within clients' marriages, love relationships, parent-child relationships, and any other relationships they wish to strengthen. Rather than focusing strictly on the symptomatic nature of clients' concerns, I take a holistic approach and foster an overall healing of the self.

She creates an environment of warmth, caring, humor, & authenticity to help those that want to work on acute issues as well as those who are evolving to be their most grounded & true self.

My goals are to support you in developing life-enhancing emotions such as self-compassion, humor, and gratitude while also learning how to relate to all emotions as fleeting; as messengers of our experiences. This ultimately helps you relate differently to stress, fear, and anxiety, empathize with others, communicate more effectively, and build healthier relationships. When we can learn to honor our internal experiences, relate to our emotions in a non-judgmental way, and treat ourselves with compassion, we can begin to create change and build meaningful lives for ourselves.

I'm so glad that you're here! This first step in searching for a therapist means that you're ready for a change. I am excited for you and ready to help support you through this journey.

I provide a safe and compassionate atmosphere to support awareness and acceptance so that change can then happen. I focus on my client’s strengths to assist them in living a life worth living, and achieving the life they want. Our work together can target ineffective thinking and behavior patterns, painful emotions, and conflicted relationships. We can work on developing healthier coping strategies and ways of looking at ourselves and the world around us.
