I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Kentucky. I have been in practice for 18 years. For the last 12 years, I have worked with clients in an outpatient setting. I am passionate about helping individuals recover from eating disorders. While I specialize in working with people struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image concerns, I also work with people seeking treatment for non-eating related issues such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and more.

Welcome, and thank you for reaching out.

Starting counseling is an important step, and I’m glad you’re here. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment.

I bring over 25 years of experience working with individuals and families. I am currently a university professor and have been in higher education for the past 16 years. Prior to that, I spent 10 years investigating child maltreatment, which gave me extensive experience supporting individuals and families through difficult and often overwhelming life circumstances.
