Therapists in Fredericktown, OH

I have been working with individuals and families in non-profit settings for 18 years. I have masters degrees in both education and clinical mental health counseling and years of experience in non-profit management, such as teaching, training, grant writing, policy writing, and research. I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families identify and achieve their goals by overcoming those issues that cause distress and anxiety.

Welcome! I’m glad you’ve decided to reach out for counseling, as I know it can often be a difficult step to take. I look forward to getting to know you as you explore what brought you here. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field working with individuals of all age ranges. I enjoy working with individuals and couples and utilize a person-centered approach, where I meet each individual where they are at on their journey towards wellness. I believe in the mind-body connection and the importance of using a holistic approach to building resilience and meeting life’s challenges.

I am a faith-based licensed clinical psychologist who is passionate about helping leaders transition from burnout and trauma, facilitating safe spaces for healing, realignment and healthier leadership. I serve leaders that are burnt out, grieving, suffering from multiple traumatic experiences that are affecting every area of their lives including their health, relationships, faith, work and overall wellness. Do you feel you are at the edge of breaking and are ready to ask for and receive the help and support they need to shift the trajectory of your life to one that creates room for healing and wholeness in every area of your life?

I help people to improve their relationships, self-esteem; provide support and effective techniques to resolve problems, manage and overcome feelings of depression and anxiety and worry, and to deal with stressful life and work situations. I also support people to deal with the residual effects of having grown up in difficult family situations. I provide coaching, helping you to reach important life goals, to define a direction for yourself, and build on your strengths. Finding natural methods to put the body and emotions back in balance, is an important component of treatment.

I have extensive training with most psychological disorders and relationship issues through use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In addition, I have developed a specific interest in treating obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and all other anxiety disorders. During my training and practice, I have gathered experience in both intensive and traditional outpatient settings. If you want a clinician who strives to understand exactly what you are going through, you will be happy to know that I have personal experience with seeking and receiving help through therapy. YOU are my focus.

Are you just getting by, saying "I'm okay" when asked how you are? It's okay to be okay, but there's so much more to well-being. Do you wake up excited for the day ahead? Are you moving towards your goals? Are you confident in your next steps or at least curious about your options? Are you organized and prepared for what's coming? If these things don't ring true for you, let me help you be the best version of yourself: focused, connected, thoughtful, and thriving.

I support and guide Clients in their quest to release old patterns of behaviors that they recognize as no longer serving them. If you are looking for emotional growth, increased awareness, and the ability to release unwanted behaviors then lets begin. I will help you building an emotional vocabulary to understand deep feelings of sadness, grief, disappointment, regret, shame, anger, overwhelmed, loneliness, and many other emotions. This is where the journey begins to an increased freedom from past pain and suffering.

Accepting new clients! Have you been struggling with a significant life change such as entering adulthood, recent separation, empty nesting, becoming a parent? During this transition, have you felt like you lost yourself in the process? If you are looking to learn and use new coping skills, set more boundaries in your relationships, and are looking for effective communication techniques to strengthen your relationships, I would love to help! I often work with clients with "engineer-like" / very logical- based mindsets. I have a directive and driven therapy style, and a solution-focused approach.

Living in balance is the ongoing goal I hope for my clients. Whether it be to repair relationships, working on achieving your personal best, learning to handle mental illness, moving towards forgiveness, or handling life changes, we can always move towards making positive changes to live a more satisfying life.

I aim to empower clients to navigate and discover pathways for personal healing and self fulfillment. I serve in the role of your empowerment coach, counselor, sounding-board, and support.

My intention is to really listen to what is troubling you and offer you honest guidance to help you find the most growthful path through to the resolution you are seeking. I believe there is a deeper/higher meaning behind any issue facing you and will assist you to find this New Perspective.
