In Person Therapists in Chillicothe, OH
Most of us have been there: spinning our wheels trying to outrun our past, struggling to get out of bed and make it through the day, internally crippling under the weight of just so many thoughts and expectations, struggling to just feel like yourself from one day to the next. If you’re tired of fighting these battles alone, I want to help. As a mental health therapist, my goal is to help clients overcome trauma, depression, anxiety, and mood disorders.

I enjoy observing relief at the first visit through attentive listening to clients, encouragement, empowerment and goal setting. I have collected a diverse set of treatment skills working with a diversified clientele. I believe that clients are the experts on themselves. Sometimes clients simply want to be listened to, encouraged and even taught things about how to handle their thoughts, experiences and struggles.

Living in this world can be difficult. It can feel lonely. Sometimes it feels like no one understands. And mental health disorders only make it harder. So whether you are going through divorce, still struggling from a recent loss, angry, anxious, depressed or discouraged, you are not alone.

My philosophy of counseling is simple: finding purpose in the pain. There is pain behind every experience of a mental health struggle. My goal as a counselor is to help my clients know that: (1) they are not alone in the pain, (2) it is okay to feel the pain-related feelings, (3) they can learn how to regulate that pain emotionally, and (4) they can use their pain to learn more about themselves to achieve further mastery over their lives.

Every day seems overwhelming, and often finding a few minutes to focus on your own needs seems impossible, it can feel as if you may never be happy again. Some days it takes everything you have to get through the day, and you wonder, "is this the best my life is going to be?" In the morning it takes all that you have to get out of bed, and at night, you lay awake, unable to sleep, due to worry, fear, and feeling things are just hopeless. It can be scary to reach out to a counselor, you just want to find someone who understands and doesn't judge. Experiencing depression or anxiety is nothing to be ashamed of, it isn't your fault.

As a parent it can be so frustrating to feel lost when it comes to handling your child’s emotional outbursts or difficulty staying focused throughout the day. When these behaviors occur frequently in a child’s life, whether due to ADHD, anxieties, or difficulty handling big emotions, children can begin to feel like something is wrong with them, that they can never do anything right. Maybe your teen is struggling with worry or anxiety, feeling exhausted by the pressure of school or perhaps a history of trauma. Seeing their pain causes parents to feel weighed down by guilt.
