In my career, I've worked extensively in private practice and diverse settings, including K-12 schools, men's residential recovery programs, and through telehealth.

I believe in providing a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore and solidify your answers, identify cognitive distortions, and work through unhealthy patterns. If we work together, we'll start by enhancing your self-love, advocacy, and respect, forming a strong foundation for change. I use a person-centered approach, complemented by evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I am here to support you through a wide variety of challenges. You are the expert of your story, and my role is to help you harness your strengths to overcome obstacles. I provide worksheets, homework, coping skills, and more tailored to your needs. I pride myself on meeting clients where they are, offering non-judgmental understanding, and fostering growth. My biggest strengths are my genuine care and my ability to provide a safe, supportive environment. I’m proud of you for taking this step towards therapy.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. My name is Jacqueline. I am a licensed clinical mental health therapist in Kentucky. I have been in this field for 14 years and have a genuine passion for the work I do. While I specialize in addiction, trauma and grief, I have worked with individuals on an individual as well as group level, focusing on a wide array of areas from depression and anxiety, and more complex mental health issues such as Bipolar, Schizophrenia, and personality disorders, along with many others. My approach is more of an eclectic approach as I do not insist on using any particular modality for each client, but rather, I like to tailor my approach and methods toward and around the needs of each client I serve. In more recent years I have primarily worked with co-occurring disorders such as mental health and addiction but do enjoy working in all areas of mental health and addiction. I find fulfillment in being able to help those in need, to overcome obstacles they are faced with. Everyone deserves to find their place of happiness and true contentment and to be able to reach the highest level of satisfaction in themselves and where their lives are at and going. It can be difficult to see and experience when you are weighed down with all the stressors life presents. I look forward to meeting you and being able to go on your journey with you and watching you grow to reach your fullest potential.
