With over twenty-five years of experience, I have focused my work on community mental health. I was the Intensive Children's Outpatient Director / IMPACT Supervisor at a community mental health center for seven years.

I also contracted with First Steps to provide early intervention services to Kentucky's children. I have provided psychological services for the Children's Advocacy Center and Bluegrass Boys Ranch.

Many feel overwhelmed at times with family life. Feeling that a child's problem is overwhelming or out of control. This can often lead to break downs in parenting or just relationships in the family. I have found over the years I help best when things look the worst and that many families have what it takes to change and make things feel more in control. I hope to help families and children feel like they can meet the challenges that life throws at them. Besides counseling I also offer supervision for Drug and Alcohol Counselors, Play therapy, and professional counselors in Kentucky.
