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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Bowling Green
Searching for therapists in Bowling Green starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Bowling Green therapists, look for someone whose training, listed specialties, and approach match your needs. Provider bios can show whether a therapist uses methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In a smaller city like Bowling Green, local appointment options may be more limited, so virtual therapy can help expand your search across Kentucky. You may prefer an in-person office near Westside, East Main, or another part of town, or you may want virtual sessions that fit around work, school, or family schedules. Before booking, review details like availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. A therapist’s profile can also help you understand their communication style and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Bowling Green can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists in Bowling Green, KY who are accepting new patients and offer upfront cost estimates after your benefits are checked. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your specific plan before booking. You can browse therapists, compare bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
