Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Bowling Green, KY

I am a retired Air Force Master Sgt. and an LCSW who specializes in addiction and mental health. I understand these issues because I have lived through both of them. I have two masters degrees, one in military social work, and one in addiction social work. I graduated from the University of Louisville, and am excited to get to meet new people and help them get their lives back.

With over 11 years of experience as a therapist I am

passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families

navigate life’s challenges and find healing through evidence-

based and compassionate care. I hold a Master’s degree in

Social Work from Western Kentucky University and have

dedicated my career to supporting clients in achieving

emotional wellness and personal growth.

I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who is passionate about helping women feel supported, understood, and empowered in their mental health care. My practice focuses on women’s mental health, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and perinatal mental health concerns throughout pregnancy, postpartum, and other major life transitions.

I believe mental health care should feel personal, collaborative, and judgment-free. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being honest about what you are experiencing while knowing that your concerns will be taken seriously.

I am a License Clinical Social Worker. I reviewed my bachelor and masters degrees from the University of Kentucky in clinical social work. I have worked with a variety of populations to include children to adults later in life. I have experience working with families, individuals, and couples.

I am a trauma informed therapist, here to help you. I work with teens and adults who are dealing with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, shame, guilt, self-doubt, substance use, and painful relationship patterns. Many of the people I support feel stuck in survival mode. They may be having nightmares, flashbacks, anger outbursts, self-harm, low self-worth, codependent patterns, or the constant feeling that they are doing everything wrong. Some are trying to heal after domestic violence, sexual abuse, addiction, or other painful experiences that changed how safe life feels. My goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and more able to imagine what comes next.

In mental healthcare, true healing happens when you feel completely seen, heard, and met with grace. My mission is to partner with you to navigate life's complexities, balancing clinical excellence with deep empathy. I look at wellness holistically...focusing not just on managing symptoms, but on supporting your mind, body, and spirit so that you can thrive.

I believe that to encourage holistic wellness in others, I must practice it myself. When I am not working, you can usually find me spending quality time with my children, tackling a DIY home improvement project, or planning our next big roadtrip adventure. I have a deep love for long-distance travel, exploring historic highways, slowing down the pace of life and meeting strangers across America.

I have proudly served the healthcare community for over 25 years, working in an array of settings. For the past 8 years I have focused on mental health and helping others heal their mind, body, and soul with medication management, psychotherapy, and hormone balancing. I treat ages across the lifespan starting at age 4.

I specialize in treating ADHD/Autism, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, OCD, Substance Use Disorders, and many other diagnoses by providing compassionate, evidence base care and diagnostic evaluations for a variety of mental health needs.

My mission is to remind others that the strength to rise after a fall already lives within them. Throughout my own journey, I’ve experienced many setbacks—moments when getting back up felt out of reach, and failure felt final. But over time, each fall revealed a lesson, and each step forward brought growth, clarity, and resilience. I possess a diverse clinical foundation, supporting individuals with developmental disorders, autism spectrum disorder, mood and personality disorders, depression, and anxiety. I’ve been honored to serve in multiple therapeutic roles, offering individual, couples, family, and group therapy to those seeking healing and meaningful change.
