I am licensed as a Professional Counselor in West Virginia and as an Independent Marriage and Family Therapist in Ohio. I have extensive training in couples and family therapy, as well as training in assessment, diagnosis and treatment of individual mental health issues.
I specialize in couples therapy, stress management, coping and adjustment to disability, blended family issues, parenting assessment and training, sexual behavior issues, relationship issues, post-divorce adjustment issues, anxiety disorders, and mood disorders.
My approach with individuals is an often an integration of cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused therapy. With families, structural-strategic approaches are utilized, as well as Satir-inspired approaches. In couples therapy, I work on the attachment processes using emotionally focused therapy. My goal is to provide clients with education and skills to live a full life psychologically, spiritually, and socially.
