CareSource Therapists in Hudson, OH

Fairhaven is a safe place where Hope & Healing begin. We even have a therapy dog in the office who loves to accompany adults & children into session. I love to work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, & families. I work with ADHD, Asperger's, depression, abuse recovery, anxiety, grieving, career planning & development with teens & adults. Many of my clients want spiritual direction. I have worked extensively with Christians of all walks and provide gentle Christian direction, if desired. I have also worked with people of the Jewish and Muslim faiths. I see athiests as well, but never try to push faith upon them.

I have been on my own personal growth journey for the past 29 years and have integrated my learning in a way that it is easily shared with others. I practice mind/body/spirit healing and have been able to help others address all aspects of their addictive patterns, dependency issues, and mood/anxiety challenges. I facilitate a range of groups, including: Women's Empowerment, Parenting, and Step Family. I utilize many different techniques (per the client's comfort level). Some examples: meditation, mindfulness, psychodrama, guided visualizations, EFT, EMDR and Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy.

I am a behaviorist at heart but that does not mean that my compassion, my irreverent style, or my humor are lost in my sessions. My goal is to join with my clients and pair an evidence based treatment with empathy and compassion for the most successful outcomes. I work with adolescents and adults specializing in feeding and food issues, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and parent coaching.

I enjoy helping clients transform challenges into growth. I work with adults of all ages (especially college students) struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and with adjusting to life changes. No two people are alike, and I am able to connect with a diverse set of clients in order to meet them where they are. I delight in assisting each individual client to achieve their goals, overcome struggles, and create meaning. I operate under the style of Motivational Interviewing, and I utilize an eclectic style, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, reality therapy, and existential therapy.

I recognize that seeking therapy can be intimidating and that life can be difficult and unpredictable. I look forward to providing an environment in which clients feel at ease and I am ready to support them as they gain insight, learn new coping skills, and navigate the complexities of being human.

Finding a therapist you connect to & feel safe with is tough! I applaud you for looking into providers to meet your needs. I work with couples, families and individuals on reaching goals and working through challenges or life transitions you may be facing. I have a passion for providing a safe, collaborative, compassionate space and empowering my clients to reach their goals. I mainly work with couple's and families on strengthening relationships, gaining understanding/empathy and working through relational issues. Together, we will work to find solutions and gain practical skills that can be utilized outside of our sessions.
