Hello! I have a master’s and bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Campbellsville University, and I currently have a LCSW and I have been a practicing psychotherapy for the past 8 years. I am currently a predoctoral psychology student attending Keiser University and hope to be defending my dissertation in the upcoming months. My education and professional background have included extensive training at Ft. Knox military base in the analysis of patterns of human behavior and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Outside of private practice, I have worked as social work director in our local hospital, clinical director of a substance abuse center and as a behavioral health therapist in two different crisis unit facilities. Also, what I am most known for is the director of our local homeless shelter for over four years. I feel that I can work with various population because I have great empathy for others.

She has been excellent! She made me comfortable the first 10 mins and continues to do so. I was afraid of therapy a month ago. It's now one of the best decisions I've made. Even friends and family notice. Thank you, Kim!
