Anxiety is one of the leading reasons people seek therapy. Anxiety can keep people from being able to reach their best potential because they focus on what could go wrong instead of what could go right. Life experiences and circumstances inform anxiety experiences. It is so important to have healthy coping skills to deal with anxiety, so you are not overwhelmed. I would love to help you learn healthy coping skills to effectively get through struggles you may be going through. I work with adults in individual therapy seeking support for everyday challenges such as stress, life transitions, parenting, and personal growth, gaining self-esteem skills, gaining anger management skills, social anxiety management, and learning to have effective boundaries to name a few. My approach is solution-focused, which means we will work together to identify practical tools and strategies you can begin using right away. Whether you are adjusting to a new role, improving communication, or building healthier habits, I can help you learn skills and strategies to help you be successful. I am here to support and empower you in your therapy goals. For clients who value Christian faith as part of their journey, I also offer Biblical encouragement to help you in your spiritual journey getting through your situation. My goal is to create a supportive and focused space where you can build skills, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency call 911 or go to your nearest ER. Severe and/or frequently severe mental health needs are best served in an in person mental health therapeutic setting. Clients needing intense therapy, court ordered therapy, therapy dealing with legal related issues of any kind, or custody involved therapy are best served by local in person mental health providers and resources.

Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Kentucky with over 7 years of experience providing counseling services to individuals navigating life transitions, emotional challenges, and complex health-related concerns. Prior to licensure, I completed two years of clinical internship experience, and I have been supporting individuals through life transitions in various professional and supportive roles for nearly 13 years. I have spent much of my career working with adults who have experienced acquired or traumatic brain injuries, including seven years providing counseling services in this area. This work has shaped my understanding of grief, identity changes, emotional regulation, and rebuilding confidence after significant life events. I also have experience in community mental health, where I’ve worked with children, teens, and adults from diverse backgrounds. I am currently a doctoral student in Counselor Education and Supervision and am completing my dissertation, which focuses on Perinatal Mental Health in people of color and the importance of culturally responsive care. My counseling style is laid-back, warm, and inviting. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable being open, asking questions, and moving at a pace that feels right for you. Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating or overly clinical; I believe it works best when it feels collaborative, supportive, and grounded in real life. I offer therapy through live chat, a structured, real-time, text-based format that is available to both adolescents and adults. Many clients find that writing helps reduce anxiety, supports emotional regulation, and allows space for thoughtful reflection before responding. For teens, live chat can make therapy feel more approachable, and for adults, it can be a helpful option for those who are not comfortable being on camera or who prefer not to use video sessions. Offering this format is part of my commitment to reducing barriers to therapy and making mental health support more accessible. Limited Sunday live chat appointments may be available upon request. Please message to inquire about Sunday availability.” For clients who prefer other formats, video and phone sessions are also available, allowing us to choose the modality that best supports comfort, engagement, and therapeutic progress. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, adjusting to changes, or looking for ongoing support, I’m here to meet you where you are and walk alongside you.

Originally from Texas, I moved to Kentucky to pursue a Masters in Divinity. After the unexpected loss of my father, I began attending counseling for my own grief and relationships. Through my own healing process and many friendships and relationships, I became aware of the courage and bravery required to recognize and approach the trials in life. I quickly pivoted and relentlessly pursued my passion for counseling. My experiences and relationships with others cultivated my passion for being present with others throughout their own journeys, judgement free and wholeheartedly. As a professional counselor and therapist, I view my role as an opportunity to offer presence and hope to others as they embark on the journey of fearlessly discovering who they are created to be. I enjoy working with a large clientele from preteens, teens, young adults, and adults, ages 12+. My clients and I navigate through concerns related to communication, relationships, mood management, grief, disordered eating, along with many other topics. I have a largely collaborative approach with my clients while finding unique opportunities to challenge them toward their goals. Each session is tailored to my clients’ needs. I married my husband, Davis and together we share a life with our four very large dogs, Copper and Bruce, Tucker, and Otter Lee. Our boys keep us on our toes and we love taking them on weekend adventures. I enjoy an array of activities, including spending time with family and friends, running, leading Bible study, playing with our dogs, mentoring, writing, and reading. To my family, I have a bright-hearted and gentle presence. To my friends, I’m known repeatedly quoted for saying “These are the moments when life happens.” As much as I enjoy adventuring with others by running and exploring, it also brings me great peace to have moments of stillness while journaling and enjoying my coffee.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who is passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges and build meaningful, lasting change. I have experience working with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem struggles, relationship difficulties, grief, life transitions, and personality-related challenges. I believe that many of the struggles people experience are not signs of weakness or personal failure. Often, they are the result of a nervous system that has been under stress for far too long. When we spend extended periods in survival mode, it can become difficult to feel calm, connected, confident, or hopeful. My approach focuses on helping clients understand these patterns, regulate their nervous systems, develop effective coping strategies, and create a life that feels more manageable and fulfilling. My style is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I strive to create a space where you can speak openly about your experiences, feel genuinely heard, and explore challenges without fear of criticism or shame. At the same time, I believe therapy should be more than simply talking about problems. My goal is to help you gain practical tools and insights that can be applied to your daily life. I utilize evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and trauma-informed interventions. Together, we will identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, challenge unhelpful beliefs, strengthen emotional resilience, and develop healthier ways of responding to life's stressors. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals facing complex mental health concerns, crisis situations, trauma histories, chronic stress, and significant life challenges. These experiences have reinforced my belief that people are often far more resilient and capable than they realize. Even when circumstances feel overwhelming, meaningful growth and healing are possible. Clients often describe me as down-to-earth, easy to talk to, compassionate, and direct when needed. I believe in meeting people where they are while also gently encouraging them toward growth. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to help you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and build the skills and confidence needed to move forward. Seeking support takes courage, and reaching out for help is often the hardest step. Whether you are facing a specific challenge or simply feel stuck and unsure where to begin, you do not have to navigate it alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you work toward greater healing, balance, and well-being.

Find a therapist near you in La Center, Kentucky

Finding a therapist near you in La Center, 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.
