Therapists in Danville, KY

Holistic, Integrative, Evidence-Based, & Cutting Edge. My two passions in life are learning & helping others. I rigorously seek out the most effective trainings in my field to stay on top of the best treatments for a multitude of life’s challenges. Mental health is not something that can be treated by talk alone, although it can be very helpful! My style integrates body approaches that help regulate nervous system function to help you live from a place of ease and flow in your body. It also includes a year long study in nutrition and how food can play a major role in ailments like depression and anxiety.

My current clinical role at KCC is an Intake Coordinator. When you meet with me, I will provide a safe and welcoming environment, so that you can feel comfortable relaying your history and background information to me. As you discuss what is bringing you to seek services at this time, my goal is to connect with any ongoing providers that will be a good fit your needs at this time.

We are here and now; but is your past a healthy part of it? The past can be a time of learning and moving forward, or it can be a red light in our lives and freeze us in that moment of time. It can paralyze us. Or, it can have us living in a world of caution lights where we fearfully drift through them, unaware of the present or future, or vigilantly white knuckling our way, just existing and just “getting through” each day. How we come to terms with the past, forgiving our mistakes and others’ faults can catapult us into a more peaceful and fulfilling life.

Everyone needs help overcoming obstacles from time to time. I offer compassionate therapy services for those who have concerns in many areas, including life changes, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues.

I am a clinical counselor who has been working in the mental health field for over ten years. I have extensive experience working with all age ranges; however, my favorite people to work with are adolescents and teens! I am most passionate about working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, personal relationships, self-esteem, and trauma. My practice stems from a combination of cognitive behavioral and mindfulness theories. I assist clients in identifying negative beliefs and thoughts so that positive changes in behavior and emotional well-being can take place.

I work with a wide array of individuals from children to adults. I address many different concerns and issues that may lead to dysfunction in life.

Many times you think to yourself, "I'm just not happy." The stresses of daily life are overwhelming. You don't recognize the person sleeping next to you, work seems hard at every turn, parenting is difficult and you are tired of being angry. Maybe this feeling has grown over time or has just started to surface. Either way, there's a distance between the person you are and the person you want to be. There is a distance between the relationships you have and want. You just want more. To feel happy again.

Often, seeking guidance from an unbiased and outside source can be a vital key to personal progression. As a therapist, I want to maintain an open and honest dialogue with my clients that assists them in creating positive change in their marriages, families and individual lives. Having someone hold you accountable, as you take the necessary steps to correct unhealthy patterns, can be crucial to success. Too often, individuals choose to remain victims of their circumstances, rather than proactively changing their mindset, and becoming victors. I seek to empower clients through uncovering what may be hindering their growth.

I love my work and enjoy offering my clients a safe and supportive environment for them to grow and explore themselves. My style is both conversational and relational. I offer an authentic presence within a collaborative, lively relationship in which self-discovery can be non-threatening and perhaps, even fun. I am committed to sharing everything I know which I believe will help heal the difficulties in one's life. I am inspired each day by the courage clients have each moment they show up for therapy. I became a therapist because, to me, the value in life comes when you return to your value within.

SUCCESS IS WITHIN REACH" I am gentle yet firmly persistent in helping clients find direction, making choices of right and wrong and uncovering their ability to tell reality from distortion and delusion. My clients find the counseling experience positive, insightful and intellectual which opens the doors of lasting happiness and sense of reality for them. The introspection, self examination and self actualization greatly increases their sensitivity and attitude about what is really important in human experience and opens the doors of happiness and sense of reality." My counseling approach gives clients insight to follow for greater understanding and self actualization.

Therapy is often a scary decision you are making at one of the most difficult times in your life. As your therapist, I'm committed to building hope and confidence in yourself and your relationships.

Is life feeling like too much to handle? Are you struggling with your own emotions or in your relationships? As human beings in a fast-paced modern society, we all face daily challenges and stressors. Some of us can navigate these issues on our own and others require a bit of professional support. I encourage clients to view therapy as a journey we embark on together. I have experience working with clients of all ages, and I welcome anyone who is looking to explore ways to improve their quality of life, whether it is due to life transitions, relationship conflicts, past trauma, or managing emotional challenges.

I absolutely am passionate about encouraging others to make the time to nurture their mental well being and health, across all ages and populations. Adding the expressive and creative techniques I am trained in accelerates growth and change by tapping into the right part of the brain and provides a fun and creative way to problem solve and engage with each other. The sand tray, storytellling, and expessive arts are for all ages and no talent needed just an open mind. Traditional talk therapy is always an option and I meet each client where they are at for that session.
