Veterans Therapists in Crestwood, KY

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC-S) with more than 20 years of experience in the mental health field helping individuals with a wide range of issues. I use evidence-based strategies as well as a person-centered approach to individualize your needs, abilities and means to achieve your goals; BUT experience has taught me that a practitioner's informed intuitive sense is crucial for you to benefit from counseling. Therapy is a balance of where things are, where they could be and how to get where we want. This formula is not the same for everyone.

I mean, let's be real... life can get very challenging. There are times we just have trouble knowing what to do. Friends and loved ones can be great sounding boards, but sometimes you need to look at things a bit differently. A new fresh perspective, a safe place to give the full nitty-gritty picture, that's what I'm here for! Also if you've got things you don't share but need to, therapy is just the place. Seen some things you feel like you can't share? Done some things you don't think others would understand? I'm here to help with the hard stuff.
