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.
