Your life feels like it is spinning out of control and you are finding yourself drinking more to cope. It started out as a few beers at the end of the day but now you can hardly recognize who you have become. Your friends and family are worried about you and they don't even know how bad it really has gotten. You feel like you are living a double life and are exhausted from keeping it up.

It is the case that life is rarely as we expect it to be and may seem more difficult and confusing than we can bear alone. You may expend a tremendous amount of energy holding it together or trying to maintain the appearance of perfection leaving you feeling depleted and unfulfilled. My hope is to meet you where you are and walk alongside you to help sort out your emotions, enhance your relationships, understand yourself, achieve goals, and facilitate healing.

I work with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, relationship issues, LGBT+ issues, or individuals trying to get out of a rut because they're tired of feeling stuck. Every client is unique and there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, but if you enjoy working toward positive behavior change, I think we'd be a good fit. I allow each client the space for us to process and explore issues together while also providing guidance and direction (most of my clients say it's a healthy mix of both).

Georgetown, KY 40324
In my experience with working with individuals from all walks of life, a nearly universal thread that I see underlying most mental health and substance abuse struggles are histories of trauma. This life is hard and this world is cruel. Therefore, most of my practice comes from an understanding of the intergenerational effects and ongoing disruption that a single traumatic event can pose on an individual’s wellbeing. Utilizing CBT, DBT, and ACT, my goal is to help clients heal in a holistic manner.

This is accomplished through the client developing their unique way of managing life’s issues and arrives at finding their own way again.
Let's be honest, no one told us that life was going to be difficult, that we would feel trapped, sometimes in our own mind, that we would experience various hardships that leave us filled with despair or anxious about the future. But life is also wonderful if given the chance, there is beauty and elegance all around us. So let me reach out my hand to you, allow me to use my 10 years of experience within the Mental Health Field and guide you to where you would like to go, whether that be in person sessions or through telehealth. My door is open. Let's talk.

Many emerging adults (18-25) are finding it hard to navigate the transition to independent adulthood, which can be frustrating for both them and their families.
Depression, anxiety, mood swings, anger, and relationship issues can all have a profoundly negative impact on your life.  People will often try to cope by turning to alcohol, drugs, and excessive electronic usage — as a way of avoiding dealing with these issues. While it is necessary to work through these negative coping patterns, it is more important to get to the underlying issues that fuel these behaviors. As a Clinical Psychologist, I have helped people identify these underlying issues, and then deal with them effectively. The goal is to get at the root of the problem so that it is gone for good.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of successful therapy. I believe in acceptance-based change. We must first accept what is before we can decide what will be. This included self-acceptance. I use an integrated counseling approach that emphasizes congruence, unconditional positive regard, empathic understanding, and collaboration. I also draw on various techniques, from hu manistic, cognitive-behavioral, rational-emotive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and positive psychology.

Male Therapists

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?

There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.

How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?

Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?

Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.

Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?

Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
