Therapist

Virtual • Kentucky


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.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Kentucky


Same Week and Weekend Appointments Available!

I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). While I’m proud of my education and experience, titles aren’t what’s important to me. What matters is helping you feel better, helping you move forward, and supporting you in becoming the best version of yourself. I also have an extensive military background and served in the U.S. Army as both a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter pilot and a fixed-wing RC-12 pilot. My military experience taught me the importance of preparation, communication, teamwork, and staying calm when things get complicated. My style is informal, relaxed, and judgment-free. You don’t need to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say when we meet. Just show up as you are. I’ll meet you where you are mentally, and we’ll work together from there.

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.
