I believe therapy is most helpful when it combines introspection and self-discovery with planning and action. My goal as a therapist is to assist you in exploring the "stuff" that you feel is getting in the way in your life. Once we explore the roadblocks, they become easier to navigate or overcome. This work often leads to new personal insights or changes that serve to bring you closer to your personal goals. I utilize many evidence-based therapies, depending on a person's circumstances and goals, but my favorite modalities include: acceptance & commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, person-centered therapy and solution-focused therapy. I also believe in the therapeutic benefits of animals, the outdoors, and in practicing mindfulness. I have five years experience as a therapist and hold a Master in Social Work degree and also a Master in Business Administration degree, both from the University of Kentucky. I currently work in a private practice in central Kentucky and enjoy working with adults of all ages. I am also trained in financial wellness and am a certified financial social work educator through the Center for Financial Social Work in Asheville, NC. I truly love my work as a therapist and would welcome the opportunity to talk with you!

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker in the state of Ohio with a Master of Social Work Degree from the University of Louisville and four-years post graduate professional experience. After graduating with my master's, I began working in community mental health as a level three treatment specialist and coordinating care between physicians and clients of various ages, genders, sexuality, ethnicities, issues, and level of functioning. For the past two and a half years, I have been working in a private practice setting where I gain more experience in providing psychotherapy to individuals on issues such as depression, anxiety, relationships issues, family issues, grief, adjustment and phase of life issues, and issues of faith and spirituality. I have over 30 hours of training in providing teletherapy and am a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider with experience using video and text therapy. My therapeutic style is person-centered and often solution focused while incorporating a cognitive behavioral approach. Past clients have described delivery of therapy as warm, empathic, and down-to-earth, which I believe nurtures a safe and relaxing environment for individuals to identify their thoughts and feelings, as well as gain insight into their issues and solutions to help them resolve issues. It is my belief that even though it is hard to do at times, I believe one of the best methods of healing is to talk and let it all out – all of the hurt, all of the sadness, all of the things that get buried within – and therapy is one of the safest places to do that. I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for adults and couples to reveal, feel, and heal their thoughts and emotions and gain insight and support during difficult times.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in helping people find solutions to their problems. Over the years, I have been told by clients that they really feel that I am listening to them and trying to understand what is going on in their lives and how they feel. Clients have also told me that they do not feel any sense of judgment, but rather that I accept them for who they are and where they are in their life’s journey. My style is empathetic and solution focused. I will spend time asking you questions in order to get to know you and try to find out what is at the heart of your issue. Together, we will talk about possible avenues you may want to take, or changes you may want to consider. I may give you some “homework” assignments…things to write out or think about, worksheets to complete, or even techniques/exercises to practice in your own time so that some of what we discuss in our sessions is reinforced. Most of all, I will be an objective listener, helping you to gain insight into what is going on with you, so that you are able to make the choices and changes you want to, in your own time. I look forward to working with you!
