Licensed in Kentucky with over six years of professional counseling experience, I specialize in assisting clients in overcoming life challenges stemming from various issues, including anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, and abuse. My diverse clientele spans the age range of 10 to 65 and encompasses individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds. Beyond my counseling expertise, I have honed my problem-solving, stress management, and coping skills through my military background. Throughout my career, I have encountered a wide range of circumstances and challenges that necessitated the effective application of these skills. Recognizing that life often presents us with challenges and traumatic experiences that can leave us feeling isolated and misunderstood, my approach is to collaborate with you in identifying these obstacles and guiding you towards healing, growth, and a more fulfilling future. I firmly believe that you possess the expertise and inherent strengths to overcome the barriers that hinder genuine healing and personal growth. Embarking on a journey towards a more fulfilling and happy life requires courage, and I am committed to providing unwavering support and empowerment throughout your transformative process.

Life changes. Sometimes we're ready for it, and sometimes we're not. Maybe you're heading to college, adjusting to a new stage of adulthood, navigating a midlife transition, or realizing the ways you've been coping aren't working anymore. I help adults 18+ work through anxiety, depression, life changes, and substance use concerns while building the confidence and tools to move forward. You don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out.

Therapy should feel like a safe place to slow down, be honest and make sense of you are experiencing without judgment.

Hi, I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky, working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and substance use. I know reaching out for therapy takes real courage, and my goal is to make our first conversation feel grounded and easy. When I'm not in session I'm usually writing, hiking, or keeping up with my grandkids — I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine human conversation, not a script. If you're looking for a warm, non-judgmental space to work through what's weighing on you.

Counseling for me is about companionship! Companions are with you through the good and the not-so-good. The most important thing in counseling is creating a relationship where people can feel and think how they want to about their experience within the relationship because whether we are stepping in the right or wrong direction we are ever growing and changing. Everyone perceives life through a different lens. Biological, physiological, and environmental variables influence those perspectives in different domains of people’s lives. All ages with: Anxiety, Depression, Addictions, Schizo and Mood Spectrum, Paraphallic, and Trauma.

A few things about me outside of therapy: I have three children, so I understand that life can be beautifully chaotic. I’m a real person, not a therapist robot. I’ll bring authenticity into our work together.

I work with adolescents and adults across a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship and family challenges, grief, and major life transitions. Most importantly, you don’t have to impress me. You don’t have to have the perfect answers or know exactly what you want to say. Therapy can be a place to better understand what you’re experiencing, recognize patterns that may be getting in your way, and develop healthier ways to move forward. Come as you are, and we’ll navigate the hard stuff together.

Therapist

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with over 7 years of experience helping people navigate life when it feels messy, overwhelming, or just plain stuck. I earned my Master’s in Social Work and have spent my career walking alongside individuals as they find hope, healing, and a way forward through some of life’s toughest seasons.

I work with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, sleep struggles, and challenges with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I also have a strong background in supporting people in early recovery from substance use helping them build coping skills, stay grounded, and create real, sustainable change (not just quick fixes).

Outside of session, I practice what I preach: I focus on my own growth, stay active, and try to keep life in perspective which means I get the ups and downs that come with being human. I know starting therapy can feel intimidating, and I genuinely respect the courage it takes to show up. If you’re ready to do the work, I’m here to walk with you, challenge you when needed, and cheer you on as you build the life you deserve.
