Therapists in Lexington, KY

Making the decision to begin counseling can seem difficult and overwhelming. My goal is to provide a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment for us to explore things in your life that have been bothering you. I believe once you better understand yourself, it is easier to explore why you do the things you do and what to do to change this in order to live the life you want. In order to make therapy more accessible, I offer late afternoon and evening appointments.

Hello folks, I am a graduate of Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My wife Carolyn and I have lived in Lexington for 30 yrs since we moved to Kentucky from North Carolina in 1991. Carolyn and I have three children, Seth, Danielle, and Isaac. I have been a practicing counselor for over thirty years in a variety of clinical settings but mostly in private practice. I love helping people figure out where they are stuck, what they are overwhelmed by, and what they need to do to change; experienced, effective therapists make a difference.

I began my career working with chronic pain patients in a multidisciplinary setting. My career has included helping clients with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and adult children issues including emotional, psychological, physical, and sexual abuse. Most recently, I worked with veterans with PTSD from combat, sexual trauma, and other military related trauma issues. I have extensive experience helping trauma survivors recover from their experiences.

I chose to pursue a career in mental health because of my passion for helping people to experience wholeness and to walk in freedom. Throughout my time in practice, I have had the privilege of working with individuals of all ages and in many different seasons of life by offering hope, support, and new tools to empower and equip on the journey toward health and healing. I use a client-centered approach and have a strengths-based perspective that emphasizes the value of each individual.

THE bravest thing we can ever do is ask for help. It can be hard scrolling through here, trying to find someone who may be a good fit for you. I've felt that, too (so have my clients). And what we've found is the pain points of our past still show up and affect us at work and home by trapping us in patterns that no longer serve us. When unaddressed, these patterns easily lead to overwhelming stress. At times, they may even lead to problematic substance use, burnout, and relationship issues. We all need support from time to time. We all need a sense of safety and a place to allow ourselves to be fully seen, heard, and valued.

You keep searching the internet hoping to find something that will help you find normalcy again. Everything feels like a struggle anymore and you can't recall the last time you were actually happy or even content. You find yourself with an open bottle of wine almost every night or hiding in a closet to catch your breath from your life. Looking for answers with food, alcohol, exercise, shopping, accomplishments, or even attention has left you exhausted and empty. You have a great life but it doesn't feel great living it.

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.

Have you ever felt like you were missing out on something but not sure what? Do you feel like you could be fulfilled but you don't know how to get there? Are you going through a transition in your life and need reassurance or guidance from a non-judgmental place? If so, now is a good time to reach out and explore your own inner strength to make life feel whole again. I work with individuals from teens to retirement age, couples in different stages of their relationship, and young adults who are trying to find their own identity in this world. I also work with clients who want to change their story and create their own.

You are looking online for something to help the sadness and heaviness in your chest go away once and for all. You feel like a tightly wound ball of yarn and everything in your life feels like it is plucking at you and making you unravel. Balancing all of your roles in your life is nothing short of a miracle and the fear of failing at something wakes you up at night. No one may even suspect you are struggling but you cry when you are alone and feel like everything you are doing doesn't even matter anyway. There is a better way to manage life on life's terms.

Life is about collecting good memories! If you are ready to make a change or need someone to talk with about issues you cannot get off your mind, psychotherapy may be right for you. I am empathetic and engaging and believe that you should leave a therapy session, feeling hopeful that you can manage any challenges that come your way. If you are in the midst of a life transition or just not sure of the direction that you will take next, I'd like to speak with you. My specialty areas are working with those experiencing depression, anxiety, or managing an unsure future. I hope that you'll commit to enhancing your life today!
