I’m an LCSW with five years experience in the field. I received my BA and MSW from NKU. I primarily focus on delivering therapy to neurodivergent, adolescent and LGBTQIA+ populations.
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-

Social Work from Western Kentucky University and have
dedicated my career to supporting clients in achieving
emotional wellness and personal growth.
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.
I'm a veteran and therapist who finds peace in the natural world. I believe true growth comes from living your values and making real, experiential change. Whatever the space, I'll be there to encourage your growth with active listening, skill building, and action.
You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, carrying grief that feels heavier than expected, struggling with ADHD, or simply trying to make sense of a difficult season in life. Whether you're an adult navigating life's challenges or a child learning how to express big emotions, therapy can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and discover new ways forward.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who enjoys working with adolescents and adults as they navigate the challenges life brings. I have experience supporting clients with trauma, depression, anxiety, and a range of other mental health concerns, and I have a particular heart for working with women and families.
I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine human connection. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door, and you don’t have to worry about being judged. I strive to create a warm, welcoming space where you can be yourself, feel heard, and know that you’re not facing things alone.
In 1986, my journey in the field of human services began, fueled by a lifelong passion for helping others. Majoring in the Human Services concentration at high school laid the groundwork for my unwavering commitment to this mission.
Upon earning a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's in Science with a counseling specialty, my formal training commenced in 2002. Over the years, I've gained extensive experience and expertise, working in diverse settings. Anxiety, stress, worry, uncertainty, addictions and fear don't have to define your life. With over 16 years of clinical experience, I help individuals, couples, and families identify the beliefs, thought patterns, and automatic behaviors that keep them feeling stuck.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lexington
Searching for therapists in Lexington starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, life transitions, or stress. As you compare options, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and populations served. A therapist who mentions approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care may be a closer match if those approaches fit your goals.
Lexington has a strong local therapy community, with options near downtown, the University of Kentucky area, Hamburg, and surrounding Fayette County neighborhoods. Some people prefer an office close to work, school, or home, while others choose virtual therapy for more scheduling flexibility. When narrowing your search, review appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading each therapist’s profile can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and approach before you book.
Therapy in Lexington can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, verify your insurance, and see an estimated session cost before you book. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
