Everyone has a story they want to tell, more than likely about how their life can be better than it is. In those stories are the goals they aspire for (better relationships, more self-esteem and achieving personal goals). If you want to help someone reach their goals you must first listen to their story. Only then can you walk with them towards a better tomorrow than they have today.

Life can be challenging and full of anxiety, depression, or stress. Especially with crazy schedules and long to-do lists or difficult relationships. It is so easy to get lost in these emotions and the busyness of life and lose focus on what is important and meaningful. My hope is that I can help my clients live a life that has value to them by helping them get unstuck from the difficulties in life.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and a Nationally Certified Counselor. I graduated with a Bachelor's of Science and Master's of Art from EKU and have been licensed to practice independently since 2002. In my professional career, I have worked with a variety of populations, including residential and outpatient substance abuse. I specialize in grief issues. I have three children and 2 pets! I enjoy kayaking, scrapbooking, music and volunteering. My focus in counseling is to listen and meet the person where they are, and only then, try to help. Each person is different and their treatment must be as well.

You know you want therapy, but you’re nervous about choosing a therapist. What if you end up with someone you have to educate about your sexual orientation or relationship structure? Or someone who doesn’t understand your gender identity or respect your pronouns? What if your therapist is dismissive of how oppression has impacted your mental health, or can’t handle the trauma you’ve been through? If you've had these worries as you look for a therapist, I might be the one for you. The people whose lives don’t fit neatly into society’s boxes aren’t just my “clinical interest” – they’re my community.

You’re stuck.
You keep going back to porn.
You don’t know why.
You're tired.
Tired of hiding. Tired of failing. Tired of pretending Sunday morning is fine when Saturday night wasn't.
Maybe it's porn. Maybe it's something you'd never say out loud. Maybe your wife just found out and you're both bleeding. Maybe you can't even name what's wrong — only that the man you thought you'd be by now hasn't shown up.
You've tried harder. You've prayed more. You've promised yourself you'd stop. It hasn't worked. There's a reason.You’ve tried harder.

I believe self-acceptance is a key part to living a balanced, content life. As such, I believe that compassion, honesty, and being genuine are the way to achieve both inner balance and healthy relationships. I see myself and those with whom I work as humans striving to do our best, to grow, and to achieve. Whatever your background, beliefs, sexual orientation, gender identity, or life experiences, I strive to create an accepting environment that encourages this exploration.

Accepting new clients as an out-of-network provider.

I believe in focusing not just on the individual client but the whole family in treatment, offering not only one on one child counseling, individual adolescent and adult counseling, but parenting and family sessions. At times individual sessions are the best approach due to the unique needs of the client, these being offered for children, adolescents and adults. With over 17 years of experience in counseling, I continue to greatly enjoy helping each individual take a step towards healing and the wholeness for which they were designed.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to begin to understand your own story. What if you woke up tomorrow and everything was just how you wanted it to be? What would you want to be different? Therapy can help you both identify and meet these goals. Challenging or traumatic life events can cause irrational and self-defeating thought which can ultimately lead to fear, anxiety, depression, excessive worry, and even manifest into physical symptoms. When we live in this cycle too long it becomes normal.

For more than 31 years, I've helped couples and adults explore and understand the emotional histories that shape how they love, connect and communicate. I specialize in working with couples who have lost their way - feeling stuck in painful cycles of misunderstanding or loss of intimacy- and with individuals seeking greater insight into long-standing views of themselves, their emotions and patterns of interaction. My approach is reflective and relational, offering a warm, collaborative space that invites the kind of self-awareness that transforms how people experience themselves and the way they relate to others.
