Couples Counseling Therapists in Central Downtown, Lexington, KY

Sometimes we can feel stress and lost with relationships, our families, and ourselves. We all need help. Someone to listen to up. You might wish you could improve your sex life in your romantic relationships, or change your family and relationships interactions. Maybe you want to live a calm and peaceful life and overcome past traumas that don't let you move on. Replaying your history over and over, wishing things were different. It might be the way you think and treat yourself that brought you here. Maybe you want to discover more about yourself and never knew how.

I work with clients who struggle with mental health, substance use, and Trauma to explore issues and help create a formal treatment plan that will help reduce, manage, or even resolve the problem. We also help a client understand how to manage high-risk situations and cope with everyday life stressors without turning to substances.

Living authentically and compassionately leads to inner peace. Trauma and distress can cause a plethora of confusing responses, making that peace seem unobtainable. Each person brings their own worldview, experiences, strengths and clues to unburdening oneself from the overwhelm. Healing and moving forward can seem daunting. Therapy transforms the mind-body system, leading to self-energy and clarity. Now also offering training for schools and organizations on becoming trauma-informed!
