ADHD Therapists in Dayton, OH

If you are sitting there and wondering to yourself why do I feel this way, why am I not living or producing the life that I desire or maybe you have had some traumatic events in your life that you desire to break through so that you can engage again in life, or that you do not feel comfortable in your own skin. I am here to help with over 21 years of experience in counseling and specializing in psychopathology. I use humor in my sessions to help build rapport and to help clients experience laughter in their day.

Over the years I have worked with clients of all backgrounds and issues. I believe you are the most important person who walks into my office. I believe your experience in therapy should be helpful and that you feel you are treated with the dignity and respect you deserve. Our building a relationship is important in this process. You are the leader in managing your treatment and my job is to listen and follow your lead. For many families, adoption was an option to building that family. As a parent of nine adopted children who are now adults, I appreciate the special challenges we have faced.

I am committed to providing a compassionate, secure, reflective, non-judgmental space for individuals to process their pain, express their joy, align with values, and challenge fears. I bring authenticity to the environment and encourage you to show up as your whole self. It is courageous to want to confront our current mode of thinking and I am genuinely excited to provide a safe and welcoming environment to help guide those choosing to do so.

Struggling to find peace or contentment in your life? You are not alone. So many issues in life can often keep us from the healthier state of mind we all desire. Counseling can help you identify the issues preventing peace and help you learn skills to maintain overall wellness. Therapeutic focus often involves supporting clients through processes of acceptance, healing, change, and decision making. Clients are then equipped to lead healthier, balanced lives even with life's challenges.

My goal for the counseling relationship is to create a safe environment while offering support to clients struggling with feeling alone, misunderstood, or lost. I show up for clients with an open mind and an opportunity to share their thoughts, express their feelings, and explore their experiences. Everyone deserves the opportunity to speak their truth and be heard and affirmed in return.

Hello! Congratulations on taking the first step towards positive change. Please know that I appreciate & respect clients from all walks of life, regardless of age, race, sexuality, socioeconomic background, ethnicity, & religion. I welcome children, adolescents, adults, traditional & modern families/couples. I have a passion for uplifting & empowering women through enhancing life skills, coping skills, and positive self image to truly maximize full potential. Because therapy is not a "one size fits all" deal, I utilize more of an eclectic approach to the process, and treat every client as the unique individual that YOU are.

Evening and Weekend Appointments Now Available. Each of us is on our own individual journey. At times, we all need assistance to help us overcome the stumbling blocks that are in our path. These stumbling blocks may be from the distant past, recent past, present, or fear of the future and may be affecting us at school, work, home, in relationships, or all the above.

I believe that mental health issues arise when we are faced with overwhelming emotions in isolation. Without the necessary support, emotions get so big and daunting that we defend ourselves against them, leading to numbness, anxiety, and depression. My goal is to invite intense emotions into the room so that we can learn to regulate them together and they can be reincorporated into the psyche, leading to a fuller and healthier life.

I will be your partner on your journey towards recovery, and will provide a safe, warm and nurturing environment where you can express yourself, get support and learn new skills. I use a strength based approach and will help you develop the tools you need in order to live a more fulfilling life. My goal is to ensure that you find relief from the immediate distress you may be experiencing, while also helping you build and strengthen coping skills that will improve your ability to manage life stressors long after therapy has ended.

I am accepting new clients for teletherapy and I accept some health insurance plans. Reaching out for therapy can be life changing. My goal is to help my clients trust in their strengths and build up their resilience by learning new coping skills. I like working with all ages and ages 14 to 29 years old is an area I enjoy. I am a level two trauma professional but I also treat anxiety, depression, low self esteem, life concerns, relationship issues, and parenting skills. I use a software platform that bills insurance for both me and my clients. A few insurance companies I accept are BCBS, Aetna, and Cigna along with HSA.

Life has changed for an uncertain period of time. Finding a safe space to really be heard, so we can process, heal and grow is helpful during this difficult time. Feeling isolated, depressed, anxious or unable to face daily challenges is normal, but finding ways to handle the stress or difficult feelings when they become overwhelming can make life easier and bring about more success and happiness in your. Sometimes it's stress within a relationship (family, dating, marriage, parenting) that can really throw us off our game. Sometimes work is overwhelming. Sometimes everything seems to get us down.

I have experience working with clients who suffer from a range of mental illnesses, including depression, anxiety, adjustment disorder, and more. I take an approach that involves meeting clients where they are. I learn about their stories and assess what the right path is for their needs and goals. Having a client who is open and receptive to therapy is all a therapist could and should ask for.

I like to compare Couples Therapy / Marriage Counseling to the process of outsourcing a Physical Trainer. Instead of aimlessly lifting random weights as you wander the gym, a trainer will be able to specifically coach you, usually making it more effective in both time and cost. As a Couples Therapist, I take a similar approach. I will prioritize a sense of comfort and trust for you and your partner, while ensuring that the techniques I use are evidence based (they work!), and tailored specifically to your relationship needs.
