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.

Therapist

Couples who call me say they've drifted apart, feel more like roommates, and affection has stopped. Ineffective patterns of communication prevent them from reaching to each other. The magic in their relationship has died and the dance has ended. Individuals who call me say they are exhausted, discouraged, and dissatisfied with life. Old thoughts and behaviors continue to negatively impact who they are, what they want to accomplish, and their relationships. They too, have lost the meaning and magic of life. Healthy relationships, whether with yourself or others, are key to a happy, satisfying, life and keeping the magic going.

Shaped by own life experiences, I became a social worker to help people navigate the uncertainties of life. We have all gone through transitions in life from career changes to family changes. It can be really hard to do that alone. After earning my degree in social work, I dedicated my career to roles helping adults, youth, and family systems. I understand how difficult it can be to go through a separation/divorce, family changes, job changes, growing into teen years and added stress - especially while also trying to manage the day to day life. Ive been there myself! My mission is to foster hope, stability, a listening ear, and skills you can walk away with.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Lexington

Searching for family therapists in Lexington starts with finding someone trained to work with the family system, not only one person. Family therapy can support families navigating parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication breakdowns across generations, or major life changes. As you compare Lexington, KY therapists, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match what your family wants to address. Some marriage family therapists may also support family and marriage counseling, depending on their training and scope.

In a mid-size city like Lexington, your search may include therapists near downtown, Chevy Chase, or other nearby neighborhoods, along with virtual appointments across Kentucky. Some families prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual sessions to make it easier for multiple people to attend from different locations. Family therapy structure can also vary — sessions may include the full family, parents or caregivers, siblings, or individual family members. Before booking, read each therapist’s bio to see how they describe session structure, communication style, appointment availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Lexington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs for family counseling or marriage counseling in Lexington, KY. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you compare licensed therapists who are accepting new patients, review their bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
