Therapists in Nicholasville, KY

We are whole people: body, mind, heart, and soul with strengths that have helped us get through tremendous challenges in life. At some point we all hit a challenge that brings us down and at times even leads to a great unraveling of ourself. My team and I enjoy assisting in the creation of awareness through being present with you as a whole person. Present to your strengths and your challenges. Present to your process of reshaping and recapturing who you are and where you want to go.

My practice focuses on those who are seeking, through a spiritual path -- healing, accountability, recovery, wholeness and balance. I have 25+ years of experience as a priest who has provided counsel and guidance to families, couples, individuals, adolescents, and children who have struggling with any variety of life issues. I have clinical training in Mental Health associated with substance abuse, PTSD, depression, grief, loss, and anxiety. I maintain a small practice with The Center for Relationships. This permits me to address each client's situation more fully and attentively.

I have been in practice since 1999, when I received my MSW from the University of Kentucky. My work has been with families and children in multiple settings, with particular focus on trauma informed care. I am comfortable with family interventions as well as working with individuals. I have always enjoyed working with children and knew that I wanted to work with children and their families in some capacity. This work has been in a variety of settings, in patient, in-home, and outpatient and in school. I have completed the training for Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and understand how trauma impacts an individual.

I'm privileged to counsel individuals, couples and families. Going through difficult times alone or without adequate help is too much for anyone to bear. Try counseling for yourself and find encouragement, support, new possibilities and change to help today and into your future. For more information go to www.journeycounseling.net

I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is comfortable, non-judgmental and empathetic. I believe that you are the expert in your life and it is my job to assist you with identifying and applying solutions to the obstacles that you are seeking help for. After establishing a therapeutic partnership, together, we will create a self-care plan that will assist you between sessions. Participation in therapy can result in a number of benefits to you; thus I ask for your active involvement, honesty, and openness in order to make the changes you desire.

I work with individuals, couples and families of all ages with a wide range of mental health issues. These include but are not limited to Alcohol and Drug related issues, Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Dual Diagnosis and relationship related issues. My training started at The University of Kentucky studying Psychology and Marriage and Family Therapy. I received my Master of Social Work from the University of Kentucky in 2005. I have a passion for what I do and cannot imagine doing anything else.

As children we create beliefs about ourselves and the world around us that are a result of our interactions with our environment, our heredity and, our relationships with others. Everyday we reinforce those beliefs by our assumptions and our interpretation of events, even though those beliefs may no longer be accurate, may cause us pain, and may negatively impact our ability to function at optimum potential. Counseling and hypnotherapy facilitate awareness, change, empowerment and growth.

Is your stress, anxiety or depression affecting your job, relationships, or time with family and friends? Do you need help moving past a difficult time? At Inner Solace Counseling, we believe each person has the ability within themselves to develop personal strengths and work through their own issues.

I enjoy working with clients from every background.
