Strength-Based Therapists in Adair County, KY

With over 10 years of experience in providing therapy, I understand the value of providing a safe, supportive and comfortable environment to help individuals, families and couples' get through life's biggest challenges - such as grief & loss, teen issues, family conflict, stress management, perinatal issues, infertility, communication issues, anxiety and depression and much more. I utilize an evidence based and multidimensional therapeutic approach that incorporates different therapy styles such CBT, DBT, MI, Gottman's, Strength-Based, Solution-Focused Therapy.

In strength-based practices I work with people of all ages who find themselves in difficult stages of life. Some stages include shifting parental roles as when a child enters middle school, high school, or is preparing to leave for college, when a relationship is in need of renewal, the end of a relationship due to divorce, relocation or death and re-establishing oneself after family, career or death of a partner. Grief and loss are intrinsic in changes of life.

I believe that each individual is the expert of their own life, and within them are the strengths and solutions they need to create positive, lasting change. As a therapist, my job is to have a bird's eye view and help you navigate through obstacles that may get in the way along your personal journey. Participating in therapy is a commitment. I hope to make the process as easy as possible by offering teletherapy appointments from the convenience of your home, during your lunch break at work or even coordinating on-site space with your middle or high school counselor.

I strive to provide the highest possible quality mental health care services at affordable rates. I use an eclectic, strength-based approach when working with clients. I take the time to get to know clients very well, and then choose the best approach from therapies such as client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and reality therapy. I believe the relationship between the therapist and client is one of the most important elements in therapy.

Many people struggle to cope with everyday issues related to depression, anxiety, substance abuse, growing up in dysfunctional homes, trauma/abuse, grief, self-esteem, self-worth, and more. I work with individuals and families using talk therapy to promote optimum mental and emotional health related to these issues. I have experience working with many populations including adolescent and adult clients struggling with substance abuse and mental health. I work with clients to help uncover underlying beliefs about themselves and the world around them to better equip them with the skills to overcome adversity and challenges.

It is ok not to be ok. We all find ourselves in difficult situations and therapy/counseling can help to alleviate those feelings of shame, guilt, being misunderstood, despair, and other emotions associated with those situations. I enjoy helping people grow in life, overcome adversity, and navigate difficult situations throughout their lives.

Life can be unpredictable, often leading us down paths we never expected. The good news is, we don’t have to tackle challenges alone. When things become difficult, stressful, or overwhelming, counseling can help guide you to the path you want to be on. As a counselor, I believe in walking alongside and supporting others in their journey to holistic wellness. I consider the therapeutic relationship the foundation on which change is built.
