Trauma Focused Therapists in Bardstown, KY

Life can be challenging with many obstacles to overcome. Recognizing the need for change is your first step to starting over and improving your life. From a person-in-environment perspective, I look at the individuals entire environmental stressors that have left you feeling overwhelmed, at a loss, and a need for change. In my practice, I provide individual, family, couple, and group therapy services to children, adolescents, foster care children, adults, families, military families, and couples. Life is tough, you shouldn't have to go through it alone!

I’m so glad you are here….I am a licensed professional clinical counselor and trained in many different proven and effective counseling approaches to help you through whatever challenges you may be facing. You don’t have to go through life alone or feel defeated and hopeless. Together we can face your problems and work through your feelings so you can become the best version of yourself. I also specialize in treating children aged 3 and over using play therapy techniques and sandtray therapy. Sandtray and play therapy allow children to communicate and also process their emotions of internal struggles or conflicts.

People in today's society all experience struggles at some point in their life. These can vary from issues at school, divorce, marital difficulties, grief, depression or anxiety. During these struggles, most people need an extra support in their life to listen and help them on their journey. We all look for hope, compassion, and empathy during our darkest hours in order to overcome those barriers life often throws at us.

Our life experiences can sometimes leave us feeling isolated, stressed, & emotionally drained. You feel stuck and you’re struggling to show up as the best version of yourself with those you love most. Life has recently been full of changes that have only made it clear how disconnected you feel from yourself & others. You’re ready to enjoy deep relationships without the past weighing you down anymore. You’re looking to understand yourself better, explore past experiences that you're tired of carrying, & dig yourself out of this rut so you can take back control of your life & create a new “normal.” I’d love to join you in the process.

I believe that each individual is the expert of their own life, and within them are the strengths and solutions they need to create positive, lasting change. As a therapist, my job is to have a bird's eye view and help you navigate through obstacles that may get in the way along your personal journey. Participating in therapy is a commitment. I hope to make the process as easy as possible by offering teletherapy appointments from the convenience of your home, during your lunch break at work or even coordinating on-site space with your middle or high school counselor.

Beginning something new can be a challenge. My clients have often tried everything and are excited to find newer approaches to their problems when everything else has failed. I am especially excited to work with individuals who have faced adversity and are committed to their own resiliency. I look forward to thinking outside the box to find a individualized compassionate approach to face problems head on.

Difficult life experiences are something that we as humans all go through as we progress in life. Depression, severe stress, life transitions, career struggles, relational issues, divorce, domestic abuse, grief/loss and trauma are just a few of life's blows that come at us on a daily basis. If you feel like managing these life situations alone is too daunting, consider seeking therapy services. I offer individual and family therapy services to adults. I have experience working with military families, providing school based therapy services, domestic violence counseling and bereavement counseling.

Perhaps the deepest wish for us humans is to have lives and relationships that work; to feel happy overall, even as hard realities of life bring distress. When frustration, anxiety or depression block out happiness, it can seem impossible to feel okay again. Sometimes, the need is just for some guidance to improve or change a way of living, reacting or being in relationship. But often there are deeper issues that get in the way, such as past trauma, betrayals, negative beliefs or problem behaviors. Whatever the need, I work with individuals and couples to remove obstacles, to heal and to make positive progress.

With our world increasingly changing every day, feelings of ‘uncertainty’ are constantly on the rise. Often, we can find it difficult to consistently meet the challenges and demands of our given lifestyle. But add to this that we are frequently taken to task by a ‘surprise unknown’ or two: Lost jobs. Lost relationships. Health issues. Even a lost childhood pulling at you. Maybe all of the above, and then some! Of course, each of us tries to meet these unknowns to the best of our ability. And at times even our absolute best efforts won’t get us back on course.
