My hope is to help clients discover their strengths and move towards healing through the use of multiple modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
I have been in practice since 1999, when I received my MSW from the University of Kentucky. My work has been with families and children in multiple settings, with particular focus on trauma informed care. I am comfortable with family interventions as well as working with individuals. I have always enjoyed working with children and knew that I wanted to work with children and their families in some capacity. This work has been in a variety of settings, in patient, in-home, and outpatient and in school. I have completed the training for Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and understand how trauma impacts an individual.

Hello! I specialize in working with young adults, children and women, as well as those in the LGBTQ+ community. In-person when working with children, I utilize Play Therapy, Expressive therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe in letting your child express themselves so they can heal from anxiety, depression, or trauma. I will create a safe space for them to learn to share their inner most thoughts and feelings. I often work with parents alongside their children so they can journey with us and learn helpful parenting techniques.

I use components of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and family systems theory to create an experience tailored to individual needs.
Therapy is about connecting with another person in such a way that you feel understood and valued, while trusting that your best interest is being served. There are many different ways to achieve this goal. My approach centers on working with people to understand their unique values and beliefs, which ultimately guides their experiences, and developing goals and strategies together to work toward their desired outcome. By asking the question, "what does better look like?", you are already on your way.

I utilize many evidence-based therapies, including: CBT, motivational interviewing, person-centered therapy and solution-focused therapy, among others.
I believe therapy is most helpful when it combines introspection and self-discovery with planning and action. My goal as a therapist is to assist my client in exploring the "stuff" that seems to be getting in the way in his or her life. Once we know what the roadblocks are, they become easier to navigate or overcome. This work often leads to new personal insights or changes that serve to bring you closer to your personal goals.

In addition to a person-centered approach, I utilize cognitive-behavioral and solution focused modalities to help move individuals towards their individual goals.
I love the authenticity of Jellyroll's song. Do these lyrics resonate? "I am not okay. I'm barely getting by. I'm losing track of days and losing sleep at night. I am not okay; I'm hanging on the rails. So if I say I'm fine, just know I learned to hide it well." My goal is to offer a laid-back, genuine atmosphere where you are free to be you, warts and all. Whether you are searching to enhance your overall mental well-being or finding it hard to make it through the day, there is hope. I applaud you for searching and encourage you to take the next step to find the support you need (with me or whoever feels right) Just don't stop!

I have also utilized (SIP) Somatic Integration Processing for my clients who work best from a bottom-up approach opposed to a top-down approach.

I mainly use CBT, narrative therapy, and mindfulness in my practice, but pull from other theories too.
My ideal client is someone who recognizes the need for change in their life, but may not know how to go about it to produce positive results. I treat adults and teens who are struggling with trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, and relationship /situationship issues. In addition, cultivating self-awareness and figuring out what goals you have is a big part of therapy no matter what you come in with and is something everyone could benefit from. Being open to talk about hard things is difficult, but also very brave. I see it as a privilege to get to work with those who are ready to make that step in a safe validating environment.
