The journey toward change is possible only when we learn to "relate differently" to that "something". Tomorrow begins with a glimpse of what you are becoming...not who you have been or what has happened. Follow the wisdom of Lao Tzu in a journey of a thousand miles beginning with a single step and let us begin your journey toward personal, ongoing, therapeutic change.

When you, your children or family are struggling with anxiety, ADHD, academic issues or the various conflicts of daily life, therapy could help increase your mental strength providing you with the tools needed to navigate these issues.

Resolving conflict, improving self confidence and instilling a growth mindset are skills for which I have a passion.

I fully believe that we all have the ability to be better, in many ways. We can learn to adjust , adapt, change, and be in control. We can learn to control our emotions, behaviors, actions, and thoughts. Awareness and mindfulness is attainable, we can learn this, and thus control the outcomes of our lives. We can't control the world around us, but we can control ourselves, and therefore, dictate how we live our lives, happy, and fulfilled. I earned a Bachelor and Master of Social Work degree from the University of Kentucky from years 1996-2001. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Kentucky.

As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor I consider therapy a path of change by way of a specific kind of partnership where clients feel understood, valued, and free to explore patterns of thoughts, emotions, conflicts, and relationships. My approach to counseling is a blend of theoretical concepts aimed at resolving conflicts and refining the necessary skills to meet life's challenges.

I enjoy working with a wide variety of individuals and families from various backgrounds using mindfulness based therapies such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Reality therapy, Cognitive Behavioral therapy [CBT], and Trauma Focused-CBT to promote personal growth, hope, healing, and rediscovery/closure as needed. I utilize a range of interventions and therapeutic techniques based on the clients' needs and presenting problems. I believe in the integrating of mind-body-spirit connection so clients can heal from emotional trauma.
