I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the states of Kentucky.. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, and children both in individual and group settings. I also have experience working with couples and families. Some clinical issues I have the most experience in include addiction, anger management, domestic violence, depression, anxiety, stress management, and trauma. A main focus in my treatment is establishing a therapeutic relationship with the person first and foremost as I believe having a good connection helps facilitate effective counseling and provides the best outcomes. In therapy, I am supportive, compassionate, and am present with individuals both in times of struggle as well as times of achievement and progress. I make sure to meet each individual where they are at and actively listen to and respect where they would like to see themselves in the future with the help of therapy. Working collaboratively with individuals on their treatment goals is a priority throughout treatment and I encourage open communication regarding what therapeutic techniques and approaches work best for the person so as to ensure the best therapeutic experience. My counseling style combines strength-based, cognitive-behavioral, and solution-focused approaches to help individuals achieve their therapeutic goals. Identifying one's strengths and coping skills that can be used to help work through various issues is an important part of my therapy approach. I truly value each individual therapeutic relationship and fully empathize with the different emotions a client may experience throughout treatment. I believe that each individual has the ability to overcome struggles but that sometimes having additional support in the form of therapy can help one to better identify and recognize the coping skills and strengths they already possess. You have taken the first step in creating a healthier, happier you and I would be honored to help you in that journey!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship stress, identity concerns, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to move forward after difficult experiences. My approach is affirming, trauma-informed, and rooted in genuine human connection. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, supported enough to grow, and empowered enough to make meaningful changes in your life. I work collaboratively with clients using evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, ACT, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused interventions, while always adapting therapy to fit the individual—not forcing people into a one-size-fits-all model. I have experience supporting individuals impacted by trauma, addiction, family conflict, systemic stress, burnout, and complex emotional experiences. My work is especially grounded in compassion, dignity, and helping people reconnect with their sense of stability, identity, and purpose. Whether you are carrying longstanding pain or simply trying to navigate a difficult season of life, you do not have to do it alone. Therapy can be a place to slow down, breathe, heal, and begin building the life you want with support along the way.
