In Person Therapists in Galena, OH

We all have moments where we feel lost in our past and like we can't get a grip on our current daily life. It can be extremely challenging to know if your thoughts are 'normal' or if something is 'wrong' with you and even more so when you feel you do not have people in life that you can connect with on a deep level. Feeling like a crispy (burnt out) mama that isn't doing her best? Wanting some connection? I got you. This shit is hard, but I believe it may be worth it for you. I do have additional training in trauma and eating disorders.

I enjoy working with those in helping professions like healthcare, education, law enforcement, and social work. Many are called to this work because they are empathetic and find it meaningful and fulfilling.

I offer supportive therapy tailored to help people utilize their unique qualities and skills to bring comfort, healing and equanimity to their own lives.

The simple fact that we are all human beings means that we will experience the joy and pain that comes with being alive and living life. Most clients tend to seek a therapist while they are going through a difficult transition that often feels painful and sometimes lonely. As a therapist, I have learned that individuals tend to learn more about themselves, and experience more personal growth during these periods of transitions. Therefore, my favorite role as a therapist is to build a collaborative, supportive relationship with individuals that may be struggling with making decisions or adjusting to changes related to natural life transitions.

My heart and passion is to see others achieve happiness and healthiness. To be the best version of themselves possible.

I am a counselor and a Veteran of the United States Coast Guard. This has lent me a unique therapeutic style: balancing respect and discipline with warmth and flexibility. It is my belief and confidence that each and every person is capable of making choices and decisions that are right for them, especially in regard to their culture, race, ethnicity, disability, and/or identity. In my experience, I have found that the most successful clients are the ones who have a desire for change, and are motivated to work for it and ask for help when needed. My hope is that my clients feel empowered throughout therapy.
