Addiction Therapists in Weirton, WV

I have always felt honored to be given the opportunity to assist others in addressing what may be their most difficult time in life. My primary focus is meeting clients where they are in dealing with the reasons for seeking therapy. Building comfort and rapport is of the upmost importance and will be a theme of each session. As a clinician, I utilize a strengths based perspective to engage the barriers that keep us from feeling our best. Often times our greatest barrier may be our own irrational beliefs, problematic routines, unrealistic expectations and lack of positive coping strategies. Together we can create incredible change.

Therapy is a joint effort of two people to make significant changes in a person's life. I am coming in to session as an expert on change and you are the expert on yourself and the ideal life you want to live. Together we will work to find out what changes you would like to make in your life, and most importantly, how to get you there.

Change can be difficult, seem impossible, and leave a person feeling overwhelmed, powerless, and destined to stay stuck. I believe that change is achievable, and each person can become the person he/she wants to be in life. The process of change is unique for each person, and it is my goal to empower and encourage each person to identify and harness personal strengths while overcoming problematic thoughts and behaviors. Change is challenging but possible. I would like to help you achieve your change.

Recent and current events have brought an increase in anxiety, depression, and substance misuse. If you feel overwhelmed and exhausted, I can help. We will work together to gain insight and find the path for your healing.
