I grew up in a small town in Sod, WV on a farm surrounded my animals. It was truly my happy place. I have always wanted to help others navigate life’s ups and downs because we all have them. Counseling is a wonderful process designed to help individuals and couples work on what they feel is creating issues in their lives. As a counselor, I meet each client where they are and provide unconditional positive regard to each person. Counseling is a journey where each client must be willing to put in the work for progress to be made. I sometimes tell my clients, “If it were easy, everyone would be doing it”. However, making changes is difficult. I do think we can learn to tap into our strengths, alter our thinking about events and ultimately live a happier life. Supporting and helping each person be their best self, while witnessing it happen, is why I love my job. In counseling, I use SFBT, CBT, REBT, and creative interventions to name a few.
