The Dwinnells Behavioral Health Team

---

My approach to therapy is holistic and empowering, blending practical wisdom from Stoic philosophy with compassionate, evidence-based mental health practices. 

I emphasize emotional regulation, helping clients understand and manage their responses to life's challenges. By drawing on Stoic principles such as focusing on what is within one’s control, cultivating acceptance, and nurturing inner calm.  Through compassionate listening and insightful questioning, I help individuals confront and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, encouraging a grounded and focused life perspective.

As a licensed mental health counselor with over 20 years of experience working in the Ashland area, I specialize in helping clients navigate difficult life transitions. I also have extensive training in solution focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and life coaching.

My vision is to empower adults to navigate life’s challenges with calm resolve and purposeful action, transforming obstacles into opportunities for growth and fulfillment."

With over 10 years of experience, I specialize in cognitive-behavioral therapy for anxiety, depression, and trauma.
