“When you make peace with the fact that the purpose of life is not happiness, but rather experience and growth, happiness comes as a natural byproduct. When you are not seeking it as the objective, it will find its way to you”. I believe in the importance of developing an honest and close relationship with my clients. You may find you have rarely had such an honest and authentic relationship before. As you learn to trust the therapist, you will begin your therapeutic journey and share your true feelings and thoughts. Meaningful contact between you and the therapist occurs leading to a thorough exploration of one’s self. The therapy room becomes a space in which old beliefs are challenged and new healthy ideas emerge. A safe space to explore and find true meaning and purpose in life and experiencing heightened self-awareness, self-understanding, self-respect, and self-motivation. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, families and adults with complex issues setting aside diagnostic labels and judgements and focusing on the client’s experience in its full richness and complexity.

I am licensed in Washington and Kentucky with 8 years of professional work experience. I believe if you change you brain, you can change your life. Mental health disorders effect the way our brain produces different types of chemicals and we often have to retrain the pathways our brain takes in order to change our behaviors and situations. I also believe in letting people make their own choices, because you are the expert on your life! I take a motivational interviewing approach. You tell me what you want to do or where you want to go and I will help you figure out the different routes and options to achieve your goals by using proven scientific methods. My methods usually involve cognitive behavioral therapy with a large variety of interventions depending on your preferences and personality. I especially like using a psychoeducation approach with people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, bipolar, or coping with addictions because you deserve to know why you feel the way you do and how you can change it. I have a wide range of experience working with varying age groups, cultural backgrounds, and religious beliefs. I have a license in Mental Health Counseling and Supervision. I have been a college Professor for 6 years, teaching counseling classes and working with college students. I have experience working with children and youth at a crisis stabilization unit, public schools, and private schools. I spent several years working with substance abuse and addictions. I really enjoy investing in people by inspiring them with hope and equipping them with the tools to change. You have already begun changing your life from the moment you signed up. I would love to be on your team as you continue your journey.
