Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a licensed therapist in Kentucky, and I work with people who are navigating things like anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction—but more than anything, I work with people, not just diagnoses. I know it can take a lot of courage to even start this process, and I don’t take that lightly. If we work together, you can expect me to show up as a real person. I’ll probably make facial expressions, laugh with you when it’s appropriate, and sit with you in the hard moments too. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe to grow. I take a compassionate, evidence-based approach, and I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you better understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. Together, we’ll work on identifying patterns that aren’t serving you and building practical, realistic tools you can actually use in your daily life. I’m also a Christian, and I’m absolutely open to incorporating a faith-based approach into our work if that’s something you’re looking for. You don’t need to have the right words or a clear plan before starting. We’ll figure it out together, one step at a time, at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I’m really looking forward to getting to know you.
