Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Kentucky with over 7 years of experience providing counseling services to individuals navigating life transitions, emotional challenges, and complex health-related concerns. Prior to licensure, I completed two years of clinical internship experience, and I have been supporting individuals through life transitions in various professional and supportive roles for nearly 13 years. I have spent much of my career working with adults who have experienced acquired or traumatic brain injuries, including seven years providing counseling services in this area. This work has shaped my understanding of grief, identity changes, emotional regulation, and rebuilding confidence after significant life events. I also have experience in community mental health, where I’ve worked with children, teens, and adults from diverse backgrounds. I am currently a doctoral student in Counselor Education and Supervision and am completing my dissertation, which focuses on Perinatal Mental Health in people of color and the importance of culturally responsive care. My counseling style is laid-back, warm, and inviting. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable being open, asking questions, and moving at a pace that feels right for you. Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating or overly clinical; I believe it works best when it feels collaborative, supportive, and grounded in real life. I offer therapy through live chat, a structured, real-time, text-based format that is available to both adolescents and adults. Many clients find that writing helps reduce anxiety, supports emotional regulation, and allows space for thoughtful reflection before responding. For teens, live chat can make therapy feel more approachable, and for adults, it can be a helpful option for those who are not comfortable being on camera or who prefer not to use video sessions. Offering this format is part of my commitment to reducing barriers to therapy and making mental health support more accessible. Limited Sunday live chat appointments may be available upon request. Please message to inquire about Sunday availability.” For clients who prefer other formats, video and phone sessions are also available, allowing us to choose the modality that best supports comfort, engagement, and therapeutic progress. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, adjusting to changes, or looking for ongoing support, I’m here to meet you where you are and walk alongside you.
