I have over 20 years experience and can transfer my expertise to work with populations of adults and children. I’ve been working as a social worker since graduating from the University of Tennessee in 2003, and I truly enjoy helping people navigate life’s challenges. Many of the individuals I work with are experiencing anxiety or depression and are looking for support, clarity, and practical ways to feel better. My therapy style is supportive and solution-focused. I draw from years of experience across different levels of mental health care to help clients identify meaningful goals and take steady, achievable steps toward them. My approach to therapy is practical and goal-oriented. Many people benefit from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which help identify patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and create meaningful change. Together, we focus on building effective strategies so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and balance. In the first session, we will spend time getting to know each other and discussing what brought you to therapy. We’ll talk about your current concerns, your goals, and what you hope to gain from counseling. This is also a chance for you to ask questions and begin building a comfortable, collaborative relationship together.

As a therapist, I am often asked, "What is your passion?" The answer is simple: my passion is YOU. My ideal client is those who feel stuck and overwhelmed by the weight of life and are burdened by negative core beliefs that make it hard to see their own worth. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, or feelings that they have to carry everything alone. Some may have experienced trauma, instability, or disruptions in relationships and family dynamics-and yet, they still long for healing, connection and peace. My ideal client is also someone who desires change but isn't quite sure where to start. I use client led therapy. You lead in your own journey, and I am just along to help guide you. I offer CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing and a spiritual perspective to help you in your healing when desired. Whether you are navigating personal identity, relational challenges, parenting struggles, or any other complex situation-I am here to help. Everyone can use a listening ear from time to time. I offer a gentle, non-judgmental approach in my therapy practice. I offer compassion and encouragement to my clients who often feel defeated. My role is to walk alongside you as you challenge long held beliefs, discover your strengths and learn tools that support lasting change. I would be honored to help you in your journey to healing. My approach is unique because I will not push you beyond your level of readiness. Therapy has to be client led. I will encourage you, but not push you too far beyond your comfort zone. Sessions with me are completely non-judgmental. I will be your biggest cheerleader in your journey.

Find a therapist near you in Jackson, Kentucky

Finding a therapist near you in Jackson, Kentucky starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Kentucky is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Kentucky, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Kentucky, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Kentucky

In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows. Online therapy may be more accessible for people with busy schedules, limited transportation, or a preference for a more discreet setting. Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
