Working with a therapist is nothing to be ashamed of. Sometimes we all need to work through the highs and lows in our lives and strive to reach our goals that we have for ourselves. As a therapist, I am here to assist the client through processing their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with no judgement and be supportive to my clients while helping them meet their individualized goals.

I fully believe that we all have the ability to be better, in many ways. We can learn to adjust , adapt, change, and be in control. We can learn to control our emotions, behaviors, actions, and thoughts. Awareness and mindfulness is attainable, we can learn this, and thus control the outcomes of our lives. We can't control the world around us, but we can control ourselves, and therefore, dictate how we live our lives, happy, and fulfilled. I earned a Bachelor and Master of Social Work degree from the University of Kentucky from years 1996-2001. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Kentucky.

Are you looking for someone to help you make sense of the changes and challenges life brings? I believe every individual holds the key to the solution that is right for them. Empowering individuals to let go of self-criticism, create realistic expectations, and remove the barriers that are keeping them stuck is a process I believe in.

I enjoy working with a wide variety of individuals and families from various backgrounds using mindfulness based therapies such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Reality therapy, Cognitive Behavioral therapy [CBT], and Trauma Focused-CBT to promote personal growth, hope, healing, and rediscovery/closure as needed. I utilize a range of interventions and therapeutic techniques based on the clients' needs and presenting problems. I believe in the integrating of mind-body-spirit connection so clients can heal from emotional trauma.

You know you want therapy, but you’re nervous about choosing a therapist. What if you end up with someone you have to educate about your sexual orientation or relationship structure? Or someone who doesn’t understand your gender identity or respect your pronouns? What if your therapist is dismissive of how oppression has impacted your mental health, or can’t handle the trauma you’ve been through? If you've had these worries as you look for a therapist, I might be the one for you. The people whose lives don’t fit neatly into society’s boxes aren’t just my “clinical interest” – they’re my community.
