DBT Skills Group happening now...see flyer for information and feel free to message me. How you love yourself is how you teach others to love you. I have learned that the most important relationship a person will ever have is the relationship they have with themselves. It's important to learn how to trust yourself, love yourself, treat yourself, challenge yourself, and see yourself through someone else's eyes. It is my goal to guide others as they embark on their own journey of self.

Hello, I know seeking out a therapist is a bit intimidating and an important decision. I provide a warm environment, inviting my clients to get acquainted with themselves on a deeper level. In this process, healthy changes can manifest and possibilities that have seemed out of reach can begin to be considered and worked towards. Therapy is now available via Zoom. I particularly like to help clients to help themselves get unstuck from unhealthy patterns as well as getting their energy flowing positively and creatively. Working collaboratively we can identify what is blocking you from getting to where you want to be in your life.

I have been working as a counselor since 1999 in various clinical settings. I have experience and enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, and families.

**CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** Are you or your child struggling with regulating emotions, a difficult transition, self-harm, behavioral issues, or dealing with anxiety and/or depression?

I work with both adults & children (ages 4+) and can accommodate in-person or telehealth.

Anxiety has hijacked your life. You’re really good at imagining the worst case scenario. Your mind is excellent at anticipating the future, and at replaying things that have already happened. You question whether you are good enough and often feel self-conscious. You overthink everything. And your body buys in to this story – heart racing, shallow breathing, your stomach in knots. All of this worry is overwhelming. It impacts almost every aspect of your life. It prevents you from doing what you want to do, from living the way you want to live. Your life is becoming smaller and smaller … AND YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Registered Yoga Teacher, Certified Warrior Goddess Training Facilitator, Ayurvedic Wellness Coach, Peristeam Facilitator, and Reiki Practitioner. I have been working in the mental health field for over 22 years and have a holistic perspective.

I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I have worked in several agency settings and private practice settings which has given me the tools to provide therapy for a diverse range of clients. I strive to always find ways to enhance the therapy tools I have to better serve clients and meeting them where they are at in their journey. I am dedicated to providing high quality, modern mental and relational health care to help individuals, couples, children & adolescents, and creative professionals work through complicated relationships and difficult experiences.

You want a therapist who is passionate & loves people, who has multiple, not singular experiences, who believes in therapy enough to go themselves. I go as preventive medicine. Originally from NYC, have always had friends, associates, relationships with persons from every culture.  This has been extremely valuable in developing my clinical skills and ability to understand and help a wide variety of people from various backgrounds.  The next invaluable contribution to my clinical skills is my Mother, Elizabeth, who taught me, "Everyone I know knows something I don't."  This makes every single person of unique intrinsic value.

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.

Does your life, or at least some pieces of it, seem completely overwhelming? Have you felt like you don't have the answers or you're unsure where to go from here? That's where I come in. I work with my clients by meeting them where they are emotionally. We develop and discuss goals and then work toward meeting those goals - together. I want to help you by making things seem more manageable - whether that means relationships, work, family, health related scenarios. I will help you develop individual skills that you can utilize and work with you to grow into the person and/or life that you desire.

As an anxiety specialist, I am dedicated to helping you develop a better relationship with your thoughts and harness your innate resilience to overcome life's challenges. I focus on a goal-directed treatment that addresses excessive worry, fears, and panic. As a believer of mind-body integration, I include exposure and response prevention methods with established cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness based techniques throughout treatment. I am also a therapeutic yoga instructor and offer this compliment to therapy to clients.

I am a doctoral student at the University of Kentucky in the Department of Education and the Center for Research on Counseling Education. My research focuses on intellectual and developmental disabilities, with a specific focus on understudied populations. I believe that when a counselor recognizes the more significant contextual issues which affect the client's well-being, advocacy in combination with behavioral therapy can be an appropriate intervention for the client.

What part of your life is the source of feelings of depression, anxiety, perfectionism, shame, or relational issues? It can be difficult to develop self awareness in which we can distinguish the root cause of poor quality of life. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which is geared towards aiding clients in developing a self awareness of unhealthy thinking habits and behaviors and teaching thought stopping, mindfulness techniques, and replacement thoughts. I also utilize Dialectical Behavioral and Brief Solution Focused strategies, which aid clients in the most time efficient manner possible.

I fully believe that we all have the ability to be better, in many ways. We can learn to adjust , adapt, change, and be in control. We can learn to control our emotions, behaviors, actions, and thoughts. Awareness and mindfulness is attainable, we can learn this, and thus control the outcomes of our lives. We can't control the world around us, but we can control ourselves, and therefore, dictate how we live our lives, happy, and fulfilled. I earned a Bachelor and Master of Social Work degree from the University of Kentucky from years 1996-2001. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Kentucky.

I am a pediatric psychologist with 25 years experience in the field of mental health, having worked exclusively with children and teens for the past 20 years. I have experience in treating a wide range of problems, but I am especially skilled in working with those who are neurodivergent (ASD, ADHD) as well as children who struggle with anxiety, OCD, social delays and sensory issues. I will work with you and your child to help clarify goals for treatment. I believe that treatment should be individualized to the needs of both the client and the family, that uniqueness should be celebrated and that strengths should be built upon.

“People start to heal the moment they feel heard.” I have worked in the mental health field for 9 years. I have experience in working with children, adolescents and adults. Some of the disorders I have treated include obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety, depression, severe mental illness, grief, trauma and addiction. I have also worked closely with couples and families to assist with strengthening relationships and family bonds.
