Feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or like your brain never really shuts off? Many of my clients are high-functioning adults who appear to be managing life on the outside while internally struggling with anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, burnout, or depression. They often feel like they “should” be able to handle everything on their own—but needing support is part of being human. I specialize in working with motivated adults who are ready for meaningful change but may feel stuck figuring out how to get there. My approach is warm, collaborative, practical, and grounded in understanding how stress and trauma affect the b
Think of me as your emotional GPS: I’ll help you chart a course, and if life throws a detour, we’ll recalculate—together. I use EMDR, CBT, and DBT to help clients heal from trauma, manage anxiety, improve relationships, and move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
If you’re looking for a counselor who truly listens while also helping you develop practical tools for lasting change, I’d be honored to support your journey. I currently provide online therapy for adults across Kentucky. Reach out when you’re ready to take the first step.

I love using EMDR whenever possible because of the way it can clear old negative thoughts about self. I also implement CBT and DBT in tandem, teaching clients about how thoughts influence emotions and behaviors and then learning how to adjust those thoughts to something more reasonable so that you also feel better.
