Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (WV), Licensed Independent Social Worker (OH)
I particularly like working with people who experience anxiety of all forms. The first area of anxiety I developed a special interest in is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It really strikes me how "crazy" people feel when they struggle with obsessive thoughts and the compulsions that go along with them. When you are able to help people change their reaction to their obsessive thoughts, it is remarkable the improvement they can experience.
I enjoy the whole range of anxiety disorders from the worry of generalized anxiety to the body focus of panic to the avoidance reminders of traumatic experiences from posttraumatic stress. It feels like this is an area where I understand people's experiences and where the ways I tend to work with people seem to make a difference, often very quickly.

Dynamic Growth Counseling LLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LCAC, LPC, LPCC
At Dynamic Growth Counseling LLC, I offer a unique and compassionate approach to treating social anxiety through psychodynamic therapy. My practice is enriched with techniques from Gestalt therapy, mindfulness, and experiential methods, creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can deeply explore and address the root causes of their social anxiety.
Understanding that social anxiety can be debilitating and impact various aspects of life, my approach focuses on uncovering the unconscious processes that contribute to these feelings of fear and avoidance. By delving into these deeper layers, clients gain insight into the root causes of their social anxiety, whether stemming from past experiences, negative self-perceptions, or relational dynamics. This comprehensive understanding allows for more effective and lasting healing.
What sets my practice apart is my commitment to genuine therapeutic connection and present-moment awareness. I emphasize the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship, where clients feel truly seen, heard, and understood. Through this connection, we work together to develop healthy coping mechanisms, improve social skills, and build a stronger sense of self.
At Dynamic Growth Counseling LLC, I tailor each treatment plan to the individual needs of my clients, ensuring they receive the most relevant and effective care. By integrating psychodynamic principles with experiential techniques, I help clients transform their struggles with social anxiety into opportunities for personal growth and resilience.
You will find a dedicated partner in your journey toward overcoming social anxiety. Together, we will work to alleviate your symptoms, empower you with the tools and insights needed for lasting emotional well-being, and guide you toward a future filled with confidence and fulfilling social interactions.

I have run into a number of clients who have social anxiety. I work with these clients to learn more and more about why their brain is leading them to this issue. The better they understand how their brains work, the better they can control this concern.
