I believe therapy is most helpful when it combines introspection and self-discovery with planning and action. My goal as a therapist is to assist you in exploring the "stuff" that you feel is getting in the way in your life. Once we explore the roadblocks, they become easier to navigate or overcome. This work often leads to new personal insights or changes that serve to bring you closer to your personal goals. I utilize many evidence-based therapies, depending on a person's circumstances and goals, but my favorite modalities include: acceptance & commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, person-centered therapy and solution-focused therapy. I also believe in the therapeutic benefits of animals, the outdoors, and in practicing mindfulness. I have five years experience as a therapist and hold a Master in Social Work degree and also a Master in Business Administration degree, both from the University of Kentucky. I currently work in a private practice in central Kentucky and enjoy working with adults of all ages. I am also trained in financial wellness and am a certified financial social work educator through the Center for Financial Social Work in Asheville, NC. I truly love my work as a therapist and would welcome the opportunity to talk with you!
