Connect with Dialectical (DBT) therapy in Kettering, OH

You don't have to be defined by what you've been through. EMDR is a proven therapy for overcoming the distress of past trauma. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR helps your brain's natural healing process to unstick and reprocess traumatic memories.

When challenges start to interfere with daily life, having a supportive space to work through them can make a meaningful difference. I work with children, teens, and young adults to address anxiety, OCD, depression, and behavior-related concerns with a collaborative, compassionate, and strengths-based approach.

Coming to therapy can be intimidating, and your courage to seek help is commendable. I work with individuals experiencing mental health struggles, addiction, grief and loss, and stress. I'm committed to creating an individualized treatment plan catered to your needs and helping you overcome barriers holding you back.

Beginning therapy can seem scary and overwhelming. I am grateful you are exploring the courage needed to travel this part of your journey. I work within a Christian-based collaborative structure, which means God is invited as we explore anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma, or simply feeling overwhelmed by current situations.

I'm glad you're here—seeking help is the first and toughest step. Are you feeling stuck, taking the right steps but getting nowhere? If talking things through with someone experienced will help, you're in the right place. I look forward to beginning that journey with you.

My approach to therapy is to provide support and encouragement. I believe that everyone has circumstances that require support to overcome. My role as a therapist is to assist you in exploring and developing your strengths.

It can be difficult to reach out for help and even more difficult to admit that you could use some guidance. When you are struggling, having someone in your corner to help you overcome the hurdles in your journey can be helpful.

Life can be difficult to navigate when relationships, child-rearing, finances, job stress, and transitions cause overwhelming distress. When we lack the skills to manage these challenges, hope can feel distant. Together, we can identify what's holding you back and learn to manage it effectively.

I help people strengthen their emotional intelligence, deepen empathy, and break free from the "buttons" that trigger shame, rejection, control, abandonment, and failure. My approach gives clients the tools to manage emotions, build healthier connections, and create lasting change in their lives.

If you've experienced struggle, hurt, conflict, pain, trauma, abuse, or addictions, I want to partner with you in your recovery. Life can feel overwhelming and too much at times. We all need someone to join us in wrestling with our struggles. I want to help you overcome and take back your life.

I create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you feel empowered to explore your thoughts and emotions. I work with adults and adolescents dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and stress management. My goal is to help you feel heard, valued, and equipped to navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience.

I welcome the opportunity to partner with you as you move through difficult times while providing therapeutic support and guidance. I focus on helping individuals navigate challenges and find pathways forward.

I have maintained a private counseling practice since 2000, and I continue to work with individuals and families in that capacity. I have dedicated my career to helping others and to working with the community to ensure the well-being of families and children.

Reaching out for support can be one of the hardest yet most powerful steps you can take. I specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, identity exploration, trauma, and life transitions. I use a person-centered, collaborative approach, creating a safe space where you feel seen, heard, and supported.

Have you been struggling with depression, anxiety, burnout, and compassion fatigue? I love working with first responders. I understand that as a first responder, it is difficult to feel understood and supported. Many of us have a strong desire to protect our families and avoid sharing these experiences with them.

Taking the first step toward change can feel overwhelming, but you've found a safe, welcoming space to begin your journey. Whether you're feeling stuck, uncertain, or weighed down by life's challenges, I'm here to support you with compassion, creativity, and a personalized approach to healing.

I have worked with clients from 3 to 93 years of age. I have practiced in many different settings, including outpatient mental health clinics, primary care offices, inpatient mental health units, substance use, in jails, and prisons. I have developed a well-rounded toolbox to assist my clients in achieving the life that they want to live.

I speak English and utilize CBT, ACT, DBT, MI, and Solution-focused techniques as well as various evidence-based approaches to fit the specific needs of the client.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC-S) and Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor (LICDC-S). I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed approach using EMDR, mindfulness, and creative techniques to help clients heal from trauma, anxiety, substance use, and life transitions.

I'm passionate about helping clients find a path to healing from past experiences and present-day difficulties. I strive to learn something new daily and bring that curiosity into my work with you.

I have been in practice for many years and started in the field in 1993! I practice CBT, DBT, TF-CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and a host of other approaches, and we, together, will decide which one or ones are best for you.

I have experience in community-based mental health working with children and adolescents. On this platform, I am providing therapy around infertility and reproductive trauma, as this is an area that I have journeyed through myself, and which I am passionate about providing care.

Taking the first step is never easy, but it can be so beneficial to your life. I hope to continue the journey with you toward recovery and support you in becoming the best version of yourself.

I specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ community using CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and harm reduction.

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach is client-centered, meaning I tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling life and take the first steps towards change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.
