It is my personal philosophy that I do not treat disorders, I treat people. People come with a variety of complex issues such as trauma, depression, anxiety, and grief. I work with individuals with a strong emphasis on healing from trauma, goal orientation, behavioral redirection, and addressing issues with self-esteem and negative thoughts. My central philosophy is this – you are not broken, you do not need to be fixed. You need only to work towards making appropriate changes to help you to live a life that helps you to become the best version of yourself. I work with Medicaid and most Commercial Insurance plans

Asking for help can be hard. Taking care of yourself must be a priority in order to efficiently care for others. I decided to obtain a Doctorate in Social Work because I have been on both sides: seeking help and being the helper. Let me be your helper! I bring a unique blend of education, training, and life experience that I think will help you to define and meet your goals. We'll start with a safe place and then begin our work on whatever issues you bring. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

In my experience as a Therapist and also a Drug and Alcohol counselor most individuals know themselves better than anyone else . Sometimes we just need a little help getting there . Therapy is meeting a client where they are at . Then creating a joint vehicle of change where our thoughts and knowledge can combined to create a renewed roadway . There is value in every single person , even if they cant see it in themselves . There is joy in helping each other find our way .

These last few years (or more) have not been for the faint of heart. This season of your life may be a time when you are feeling challenged in all directions, struggling to let go of the past, or noticing some harmful patterns returning. At a deeper level, you want to feel heard, and seen for who you are and what you believe you can still become. Therapy provides a space for you to do just that, building a life that is fulfilling, acknowledging the past, and then getting excited to build a life you know is worth living. I am excited you’re here and considering this next part of the journey.

My guiding philosophy in working with clients is that what is right with a person can enable them to overcome what is wrong with them. My years of working with patients in various treatment settings have only strengthened that view. Whether the issue is depression, trauma, painful personal loss or getting through a difficult crossroad in one's life, my basic approach is to help the person find their own pathways to healing. This is like a process of making "repairs," not of the body necessarily, but repairing one's perspective on life and finding the wherewithal to constructively move forward.

Life often feels like a series transitional periods and sudden changes happening all at once. It can be overwhelming, confusing and, sometimes, lonely. It is the way we move through those times in life that matters, and there is no shame in searching for support. As women, we often feel we must have every piece of life together and when one piece goes missing from the puzzle, we feel as though we have failed each step of the way. Little do we know, there is always hope.

Accepting new clients as an out-of-network provider. My greatest reward as a therapist is helping my clients explore ways to make the changes in their lives that will allow them to look forward to the future with hope. I provide my clients with a warm, nonjudgmental environment-a safe place to explore the issues that may be preventing you from living the life you want. I have been working in the mental health profession since 2013 with experience specifically in mental health counseling with children, adolescents, and adults.

Many struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma or relational issues at some point. When our relationships suffer, so do we. We start to feel lonely, angry, ineffective, we shut down, lash out, freeze, or hide our true selves – and all of this impacts our life day after day. Working professionally over many years, I have developed a passion for addressing mental health and self-worth by exploring the histories of attachment and childhood trauma many Kentuckians experience. These initial relationships set the stages that lead to cyclical behavior and overall mood issues.

What would your life be like if you woke up tomorrow and everything was just how you wanted it to be? What would be different? Therapy can help you identify and reach those goals. Whether your focus is individual, with your partner, or with a family member - the process can be beneficial and effective. My job is to help guide you through the choices, decisions, and communication patterns that are stopping you from making those improvements or changes. Therapy does not have to be intimidating or anxiety provoking. It can instead be an interactive, thought-provoking, learning experience.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
