Dayforce Therapists in Kentucky
People come to therapy because they want to feel better. It might be relationship problems or anxiety/depression, but whatever the reason, life has become uncomfortable or painful. Most people want more understanding of themselves and their situation. That being said, change is what we all seek in therapy. Making your life work better is the goal. I focus on altering self-defeating ways, gaining perspective, and increasing insight that leads to change. The result is an improved quality of life.

Life circumstances can deeply affect us. Over the last two decades, I have walked beside countless individuals and couples facing life changes, difficult decisions, crisis and/or addiction recovery, and the challenge of overcoming dysfunctional behaviors. I have also worked extensively with those seeking to improve or begin relationships, explore career options, and many simply gaining a deeper understanding of who they are.

I prefer clients who have the courage to risk coming in for an appointment facing the unknown and leaving their session with a sense of self acceptance, performance confidence and some tools with which to better manage their thought, feelings, and behaviors. Regardless of their presenting problems, I want to present a "no judgment zone". I have a sign in the waiting room that states, "I Will Not Should On Myself Today". Demands cause emotional problems while preferences seldom do. A place where active listening makes a difference. I discover many clients return to learn and experience more.
