I am a licensed clinical social worker who has been licensed in Kentucky as an LCSW for the last 10 years. I have over 15 years experience working with children and families to increase their positive communication. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, parenting problems, PTSD, BiPolar, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma and emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness and trauma informed counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
