I understand that sometimes we are just surviving rather than thriving. While in survival mode, we often rely on disordered eating possibly because of past traumas. This takes its toll on us physically and emotionally. Have you ever spent the majority of the day thinking about food or fearing your next meal? Maybe you have had a big transition in life, moved from home to college, ended a relationship or are now an empty nester. Do you try to avoid looking in the mirror? Do you feel helpless and hopeless? Do you self loathe and compare yourself to others? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, know that there is hope!

We believe self-acceptance is a key part to living a balanced, content life. As such, we believe that compassion, honesty, and being genuine is the way to achieve healthy relationships and lifestyles. We see ourselves and those with whom we work as humans striving to do our best, to grow, and to achieve. Whatever your beliefs, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, challenges, successes, and life experiences, we strive to create an accepting environment to encourage exploration to be accepting of who you are and to achieve your potential.

Are you needing help with relationships? Having a hard time getting through a loss? Wanting to be a better spouse? Finding that life is hard and needing support? I would love to help!

My ideal client is one that takes that first step to begin working towards improving their lives by seeking treatment services, so basically this means you!

Do you ever feel like you’re living on the margins of your life? As a therapist, I work with people to explore their lives on a deep level because it is my experience that the more deeply we work, the deeper our healing. We will work together to identify what is holding you back, has you stuck. I don't think it is what's wrong with you; I think it's what's happened to you. You may identify the stuck place as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship isuses, blocked life transitions, creativity, or spiritual growth. You may recognize this as a yearning to deepen and grow.

If you are struggling with emotional stress, long for better relationships, or wish to address difficult circumstances in the past or present, then the assistance of a mental health professional may be a step in the right direction. Building a partnership with a therapist can help you process those issues and build skills to better tackle challenges.

I consider myself spiritually grounded and community centered. I would love to eliminate the stigma around mental health within my community. Normalize mental well being conversations within the community. And see more of my community actively seek and practice mental health awareness.

I am a doctoral student at the University of Kentucky in the Department of Education and the Center for Research on Counseling Education. My research focuses on mood disorders, with a specific focus on understudied populations such as individuals with disabilities. I believe that when a counselor recognizes the more significant contextual issues which affect the client's well-being, advocacy in combination with behavioral therapy can be an appropriate intervention for the client.

I believe in focusing not just on the individual client but the whole family in treatment, offering not only one on one child counseling, individual adolescent and adult counseling, but parenting and family sessions. At times individual sessions are the best approach due to the unique needs of the client, these being offered for children, adolescents and adults. With over 17 years of experience in counseling, I continue to greatly enjoy helping each individual take a step towards healing and the wholeness for which they were designed.
