Are feelings of fear, unworthiness, guilt or sadness keeping you from reaching your full potential? Are the stories you tell yourself keeping you stuck in the same dysfunctional patterns again and again? Are the expectations of others in your life clashing with who you know to be your authentic self? There's a different way to be and a new life awaiting you. With someone to hold space for you, it is possible to grow in compassion for yourself. Are you ready to start challenging your inner critic so you can reach your full potential and lead the life you deserve? I’m a licensed clinical social worker in Kentucky and Indiana. My passion is helping women reclaim the parts of themselves that may have been lost as we try to balance it all. In my work, I focus on self care, mindfulness, and helping you reframe beliefs that keep us stuck in negative patterns. I am particularly interested in the intersection between trauma and ADHD, being diagnosed later in life with neurodivergence myself. When working with clients, I believe that healing is a collaborative effort that requires an honest and nonjudgmental approach. As your therapist, I assist you in clarifying your goals and honor your inherent power to heal. Rather than being drawn to one modality, I look at all individuals, the environment and situation and draw on a number of modalities. I believe the therapeutic alliance is the most important aspect to healing and encourage my clients to openly discuss their experience in therapy. I invite you to reach out to see if we're a good fit.
