I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in Kentucky where I have accrued experience with in-patient, out-patient, and school-based counseling. I work with individuals of all ages and have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationships, family conflicts, depression, ADHD & many other mental health concerns.
My counseling style is open-minded, empathetic and un-biased and I strive to treat every person with respect and understanding. My approach to counseling is centered in Cognitive-Behavioral and Solution-Focused therapies; with the intent to identify individual's thoughts, feelings and behaviors and modify those to reach the desired outcome. It is my belief that as individuals we are shaped by our relationships, experiences, beliefs and interactions; and making positive changes in those areas can greatly impact the outcomes. I value the therapeutic alliance and am dedicated to helping people build the skills they need to meet the challenges of their daily lives.
You are the expert of your own story and have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming whatever challenges you might face. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process and I look forward to working with you!

Genevieve really took the time to get to know me. She treated me with so much kindness and respect and helped me get to a better place. When I first started my sessions with Genevieve, I was in a very rough spot, feeling empty, lonely, depressed, and in a constant state of worry. I am very happy (and sad) to say that I just ended my last session with Genevieve. I am happy, because this means she genuinely helped me to become a better version of myself, and listened when I needed her. But, I am also sad, in order for therapy to work, I had to have trust in Genevieve and be vulnerable, she made that so easy, and I consider her a friend. I would 100% recommend Genevieve to anyone seeking help. She is very thoughtful, organized, retains the information your share with her, and always makes her sessions feel like a safe space. Thank you Genevieve and BetterHelp for making my mental health a priority!

Genevieve makes me feel understood. She is very knowledgeable, which is important to me because I like to learn about and understand various mental health topics.

I look forward to my sessions with Genevieve each week. Her insights are helpful, and whether I'm having a really hard week or a really great week, I feel very supported by the conversations I have with her and/or the worksheets she offers. She's friendly and super sharp. There have been laughs, I've cried, and there have been ah-ha moments. I can't recommend her enough.
