Therapists in Dayton, OH

Hello! Congratulations on taking the first step towards positive change. Please know that I appreciate & respect clients from all walks of life, regardless of age, race, sexuality, socioeconomic background, ethnicity, & religion. I welcome children, adolescents, adults, traditional & modern families/couples. I have a passion for uplifting & empowering women through enhancing life skills, coping skills, and positive self image to truly maximize full potential. Because therapy is not a "one size fits all" deal, I utilize more of an eclectic approach to the process, and treat every client as the unique individual that YOU are.

I have served those with Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar, Schizophrenia, Family Issues, etc. My ideal client is motivated to roll up their sleeves and engage in the therapeutic process. They have an open mind and can practice effective coping skills to improve their overall functioning and quality of life. They can challenge themselves to be vulnerable and practice accountability while processing their problematic thinking patterns and behaviors in a safe and non-judgmental environment. They wish to engage in therapy because they realize that they need to make a change and are willing to take a leap of faith to make it happen.

Clients come to therapy looking for a comfortable environment and to find a therapist that is open, honest and is able to assist them with gaining tools into helping them cope with their particular situation.

Have you been feeling suck and don't know which way to turn? This may be due to hard life transitions, relationship difficulties, health insecurity, grief, or even major traumatic events. You do not have to figure it out on your own.

Do you feel like no one hears you? Have you been told that you are unable to be helped? Are you chronically suicidal or struggling with emotions? Do you feel like you don't fit in and are looking for a connection? Do you want to feel normal and find a connection?

I enjoy working with people who struggle with depression and/or anxiety. Ideally, their goals would be to improve their overall functioning and quality of life. My ideal client would be able to put in the necessary work to accomplish their goals. My therapy style is authentic, empathetic, and validating. I believe in incorporating various treatment modalities that are based on the individual needs of my clients.

My ideal client is an individual who is open to working as a team and benefiting from a therapeutic relationship in which honesty, accountability, and empathy are paramount. While a client’s concerns are unique and personal, there is nothing they cannot overcome through effective therapeutic interventions and a highly-trained and relatable clinician.

I am a queer, affirming therapist. I am non-denominational, but am spiritual in realms of Pagan and Astrology with a splash of Buddhist practices. I am what you get and know my style isn’t for everyone. I believe I can provide a safe, inclusive, and inviting energy and space whether online or in person.

My areas of expertise are health and wellness. I treat people and families, not illness or disorders. I utilize a convergent multidisciplinary approach to assessment and treatment that focuses on people's inherent strengths to help them achieve their goals.

I incorporate a wide variety of traditional and non-traditional approaches to health and wellness, striving to make each person's experience with us unique, functional, and meaningful.

By providing the best fit from the start, we help our clients meet their goals with greater success and our providers find deeper fulfillment in their work.

I became a therapist after overcoming my own adversity and trauma.  I confronted the impact of it as a young adult through therapy where I was empowered with the tools I needed to positively evolve as a person.  I want to assist others in their struggle with trauma by empowering them with similar tools to confront the impact of their own trauma and to positively grow. I specialize in working with people that have experienced significant trauma, abuse or neglect. But I can also help you if you're experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationship issues, adjustment issues or gender identity or sexual identity concerns.

I will be your partner on your journey towards recovery, and will provide a safe, warm and nurturing environment where you can express yourself, get support and learn new skills. I use a strength based approach and will help you develop the tools you need in order to live a more fulfilling life. My goal is to ensure that you find relief from the immediate distress you may be experiencing, while also helping you build and strengthen coping skills that will improve your ability to manage life stressors long after therapy has ended.

Accepting New Patients!!! Madeline Albright said, "It took a long time for me to develop a voice and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent." If you are looking to develop your voice and sense of self while overcoming the pain of trauma, I am here to help. Many times, we as women don't use our voice for fear of not being believed, heard, or understood. We keep our pain inside, and it's not healthy.

Life has a way of making you feel like you aren't where you need to be or who you want to be. Our experiences can often make us feel hopeless and alone. I believe that while everyone's journey is different, the need for support during times of struggle is not. As a therapist, I strive to help everyone experience more self-compassion and balance.
