Humanistic Therapists in Boston, KY

Providing Telehealth Services! Most people encounter problems in their lives that become overwhelming and difficult to navigate. If you have trouble coping, finding answers to stressful issues, or have other difficulties managing your life, there are solutions to these problems.

I have over ten years of experience working with families, children, and adults in outpatient settings. I use a strength based approach to help clients realize their past, present, and future successes. I believe therapy can be a wonderful tool for clarity and change and that each client possesses the ability to create a brighter tomorrow. It is my goal to help guide that process through understanding, empathy, and solution-focused strategies.

I will strive to help you find your unique path to overcome obstacles and solve problems by getting to the Root of your struggles in order to create more positive Energy in your life to achieve optimal Wellness.

I have experience working with adolescents and adults from various cultural backgrounds, ages, sexualities, and gender expressions, with various goals, trauma histories, diagnoses, and physical health conditions. My professional interests include intergenerational healing, the impact of marginalization on health, LGBTQ identities and experiences, inner child work, and the use of expressive arts in healing.

Life is too long to remain unhappy and too short to have continued regrets. During a session, my intention is to assist the client in utilizing their strengths to help them solve their struggles. I offer as much insight as needed while helping the client resolve their concerns and develop healthy coping strategies. I typically start out asking questions that help me get to know you and learn what your concerns are and future sessions consist of coping strategies, acknowledging trauma, learning how to process what has happened, and how to accept future possibilities.

In strength-based practices I work with people of all ages who find themselves in difficult stages of life. Some stages include shifting parental roles as when a child enters middle school, high school, or is preparing to leave for college, when a relationship is in need of renewal, the end of a relationship due to divorce, relocation or death and re-establishing oneself after family, career or death of a partner. Grief and loss are intrinsic in changes of life.

I believe that you have the answers to your questions and problems within yourself. My role as a therapist is to help you find those answers. You are the expert of your life and your role as a client is to educate me on your perspectives and experiences.

Contemporary society can be isolating and alienating. We all experience difficulties that leave emotional scars. Even our successes come with stress and anxiety. When our energy is focused on achievement and perfection, we lose or deny our authentic selves in that striving. If compelled to live outside our actual values, we may lose our sense of meaning or purpose. I provide individual therapy for adults navigating life transitions or coping with work, family, or health challenges. I have training and experience working with clients who’ve experienced trauma.

Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, life and relational stressors, or healing from trauma, finding a non judgemental space to process can help you feel heard, understood and encouraged as you continue on your Life’s Journey. Working from a collaborative approach, I respect your values, and life’s experience, and can partner with you to identify your personal goals and assist you in making meaningful change to live in alignment with those values.

Are you on a path in life you never planned and feeling overwhelmed? Raising a challenging child? Facing a life transition that is stretching you to your limit? Is relational conflict causing hurt and confusion between you and your child, partner or extended family? Perhaps you simply need a safe, supportive space to share and process your pain, and get back to a sense of well-being.

I work with adults, adolescents, children, and families to address complex life issues, such as: depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, adverse life events, ADHD, grief and loss, relationship issues, oppositional defiance, and disruptive behaviors. I specialize in utilizing EMDR and Trauma Focused CBT to address many of these concerns. I have over 10 years of clinical experience.

My work with clients has included addressing depression, anxiety, self-esteem and identity concerns as well as the social/emotional challenges that accompany ADHD, Autism and other disabilities. As a self avowed ‘nerd therapist’ with ADHD myself, I am passionate about working with fellow nerds, outcasts, artists or creatives who may feel out of sync with a mainstream approach. I am particularly adept at assisting clients in identifying their strengths and talents and applying them toward career, educational and other life goals. I am sex positive and endeavor to be an ally to LGBTQ+, poly and kink communities.

You’re tired of navigating a world not designed for you. You want to try again, but you don’t know where to start. Navigating a neurotypical world, transitioning into civilian life, coping with the aftereffects of trauma, or lack of access to resources can make life harder than it needs to be. I have experience working with trauma survivors, military veterans, and autistic/ADHD adults. My clients show remarkable resilience in the face of adversity. You are the expert on yourself, and my goal is to help you learn to trust your inner voice.

People are often held captive by their emotions and thoughts, which prevents them from reaching their full potential. My practice is informed by blending mindfulness with other modalities to alleviate this state of distraction and fully experience the present moment. To best treat my clients, I use an integrative approach that draws from many different modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, humanistic, and existential modalities. I am also trained and experienced in EMDR.

Do you need support to achieve your goals and navigate daily life stressors? Have you been considering that it may be time to talk with someone to achieve the desired results you’ve been wanting? I enjoy working with clients struggling with addiction, depression/anxiety, life transitions, grief/loss, codependency, and relationship concerns. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and welcome all gender identities, sexualities, and presentations into my office.

Are you struggling to connect with your partner? Are you tired of conversations always ending in arguments? Do you wish there was an affordable option for couple or family counseling?
