I'm a marriage and family therapist, licensed in Kentucky and Indiana, who is dedicated to fostering a supportive therapeutic space for individuals and couples.

My practice focuses primarily on individuals and couples who are dealing with traumas, addictions and communication issues. I give my patients the support to sort through the racket in their heads and find clarity. Many times emotional issues stem from events in our lives which have been either buried or minimized. I help my patients explore these events in order to identify the old beliefs and ideas that created disfunctional coping mechanisms. Once identified, these old ideas and beliefs can be replaced with new healthier ones.

Life is already challenging, and when you add unexpected circumstances, it becomes even more challenging. Holding everything in and trying to deal with it yourself can be overwhelming and sometimes feel impossible. A simple talk with a caring and non-judgmental individual in a relaxed space may be what you need to work through life’s trials. I value respect, creativity, freedom, faith and forgiveness.

I realize beginning therapy can be difficult. I believe that a large portion of therapy is about your rapport with your therapist and I strive to make this process as easy and comfortable as possible. Through the past 20 years I have served children, adolescents and adults in various therapeutic settings. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) and I have a Masters in Social Work (MSSW). I believe my education, professional experience and personal life experiences help me to be a caring and effective therapist.

Life is hard and at times we all need support along the journey. I seek to offer support for those struggling along the way. I believe that every individual is inherently worthy. The goal of therapy is to encourage the use of positive resources, options, and opportunities, to help improve individual and relational well-being and redeem past loss/shame. I will work with you to create a plan that best fits your needs and helps move you toward your desired goal. I operate from a strength based perspective that addresses the whole person.

When someone is faced with emotional pain, knowing what to do is difficult and counseling can be freightening.

While I am trained in counseling theories and techniques, I believe using the Bible as a guide to explore the emotions that often paralyze our daily lives and relationships is fundamental to reaching healing and growth.
