I am an eclectic therapist which basically means that I use what I see is most effective for the Client.  Much of what we will talk about will be Gestalt therapy which attempts to help you be empowered to learn to make your own decisions and help to find the sources of issues within your past.  CBT and behavioral therapies are always useful in helping to see that by changing these thoughts you can easily change behaviors that follow.  I also use some psychoanalytic to help to see the influence that development has had on current thoughts and emotions.  And finally, Client centered which helps in creating an environment for learning as well helping in owning responsibility and empowerment to progress. If you are ready to get started just give me call at and I will get you on my schedule as soon as is possible for the both of us. If there is no answer it is likely because I am with another client, please leave a complete message with name, number, and reason for the call.

Anxiety is one of the leading reasons people seek therapy. Anxiety can keep people from being able to reach their best potential because they focus on what could go wrong instead of what could go right. Life experiences and circumstances inform anxiety experiences. It is so important to have healthy coping skills to deal with anxiety, so you are not overwhelmed. I would love to help you learn healthy coping skills to effectively get through struggles you may be going through. I work with adults in individual therapy seeking support for everyday challenges such as stress, life transitions, parenting, and personal growth, gaining self-esteem skills, gaining anger management skills, social anxiety management, and learning to have effective boundaries to name a few. My approach is solution-focused, which means we will work together to identify practical tools and strategies you can begin using right away. Whether you are adjusting to a new role, improving communication, or building healthier habits, I can help you learn skills and strategies to help you be successful. I am here to support and empower you in your therapy goals. For clients who value Christian faith as part of their journey, I also offer Biblical encouragement to help you in your spiritual journey getting through your situation. My goal is to create a supportive and focused space where you can build skills, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency call 911 or go to your nearest ER. Severe and/or frequently severe mental health needs are best served in an in person mental health therapeutic setting. Clients needing intense therapy, court ordered therapy, therapy dealing with legal related issues of any kind, or custody involved therapy are best served by local in person mental health providers and resources.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about supporting people as they work toward meaningful goals in their lives. I believe every individual brings unique strengths, experiences, and hopes into therapy, and that growth can look different for everyone, from finding small moments of joy to navigating life’s most difficult losses. My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, recognize your potential, and move forward with greater clarity and compassion. Even in challenging seasons, I believe there is always space for hope, healing, and possibility. I take a person-centered approach that begins with meeting you exactly where you are. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. I don’t believe in quick fixes. Our work is built on trust, understanding, & collaboration. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, what they’ve meant to you, & how they continue to shape your life, at a pace you're comfortable with. Our first session will be like meeting with a friend over coffee or tea. We will sit and talk. Take time to get to know each other, learn what's important. What scares you, makes you happy. If there are questions you don't want to answer or you don't feel comfortable with then we stop. You have total control. I'm here for you and you are in the driver's seat.

Originally from Texas, I moved to Kentucky to pursue a Masters in Divinity. After the unexpected loss of my father, I began attending counseling for my own grief and relationships. Through my own healing process and many friendships and relationships, I became aware of the courage and bravery required to recognize and approach the trials in life. I quickly pivoted and relentlessly pursued my passion for counseling. My experiences and relationships with others cultivated my passion for being present with others throughout their own journeys, judgement free and wholeheartedly. As a professional counselor and therapist, I view my role as an opportunity to offer presence and hope to others as they embark on the journey of fearlessly discovering who they are created to be. I enjoy working with a large clientele from preteens, teens, young adults, and adults, ages 12+. My clients and I navigate through concerns related to communication, relationships, mood management, grief, disordered eating, along with many other topics. I have a largely collaborative approach with my clients while finding unique opportunities to challenge them toward their goals. Each session is tailored to my clients’ needs. I married my husband, Davis and together we share a life with our four very large dogs, Copper and Bruce, Tucker, and Otter Lee. Our boys keep us on our toes and we love taking them on weekend adventures. I enjoy an array of activities, including spending time with family and friends, running, leading Bible study, playing with our dogs, mentoring, writing, and reading. To my family, I have a bright-hearted and gentle presence. To my friends, I’m known repeatedly quoted for saying “These are the moments when life happens.” As much as I enjoy adventuring with others by running and exploring, it also brings me great peace to have moments of stillness while journaling and enjoying my coffee.
