Do you feel stuck in the past? Do you feel like it’s hard to let something or someone go? Do you feel indecisive and unsure what decision to make next? Trauma doesn’t need to control you forever or impact your present life. Therapy can help you get unstuck and feel more at peace. Therapy with me feels comfortable like you’re talking to a friend, but it’s so much more helpful than that. I will listen to you without judgement and help you work through your trauma and icky feelings about yourself. You logically know what happened to you wasn’t your fault, but together we will help your heart truly believe that.

I am a WV native and have been working with children/adolescents/adults for over 17 years. Helping others is my passion. I am an advocate for the families receiving my services. I am a graduate of West Virginia State University with a B.A. in Psychology and Liberty University with an M.A. Professional Counseling. I am trained in EMDR therapy, which is a model of therapy used to treat trauma and other disorders. I am currently taking courses in American Sign Language and hope to eventually offer services to the deaf community. If I may leave one thought with you it is that what I do is a PASSION and not a POSITION. Take care

Does your child struggle with self esteem? Anxiety? Depression? Does your child struggle to communicate their feelings? Do they often put themselves down? Have outbursts of anger or aggression? Do they struggle when knowing how to calm themselves down? If you answered yes to any of those questions, then you have come to the right place. Play Therapy is a great place to start! Play Therapy uses play to build connection and establish a positive relationship. Once this has been achieved, a child can begin to identify their issues though play and begin healing.

It's time to take the mask off. Society has a way of honoring being pushed to the limit. Whether we are navigating building a family, dealing with the loss of a loved one, or seeking to manage a work-life balance, we are taught to keep stretching ourselves beyond our limits. As a strengths-based counselor I work with individuals to identify skills and strengths currently in use to enhance emotional, physical, social, intellectual, and spiritual wellness.

As if life didn't seem tough enough already at times, we're now almost 3 years into a worldwide pandemic, so let's just say, I get it. Sometimes it may feel impossible to balance life and emotions when the world is unpredictable. There has been so much loss throughout the pandemic in many ways. Therapy is especially helpful when you're experiencing big life changes that you're unsure how to cope with or if you're caught in a cycle of unhealthy coping skills. So with that being said, I am already proud of you for taking the first step toward seeking emotional balance and escaping unhealthy behaviors, even if we never work together!

When choosing a counselor, you'll want the person to be trained and competent. You'll want them to "get" you and be able to help you skillfully and effectively. So, look over my credentials, and if you have questions, ask. And if you're ready, let's meet and go from there.

Have you, at times, recognized distorted thoughts, feelings, behaviors, along with distorted expectations in some outcome that has created additional stress, avoidance and inner conflict? These related negative outcomes create increased depression, anxiety and hopelessness. My clients set goals in therapy of rigorous honesty and resolve, becoming willing to identify and explore strengths and weaknesses related to their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. They begin to challenge themselves to seek additional perspective on those thoughts and feelings, while changing some behaviors through steady, achievable goals.

We, as human beings, share common ground in that living is full of both joys and sorrows, challenges and changes. Sometimes things happen in life that you would have preferred not happen. As a result, you may feel scared and confused, either because of the events themselves or perhaps because of how you view these events.

Presence and accompaniment matter. We can more easily connect to our true self and touch emotional distress in the presence of another's settled nervous system. Neurobiology and mindfulness science has proven that the human brain can be distraught while simultaneously observing the self with compassion. The ability to be both experiencing and holding the experience is the key to maintaining calm when facing challenges. Whether you feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxiety, anger, depression, or find yourself reacting in ways that leave you feeling alone and hurt, we can come to be with all of it with gentle awareness and respect.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
