I have experience addressing a wide variety of concerns, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, trauma/dissociation, relationship issues, bipolar disorder, grief, and personalty concerns.
The most important aspect of therapy is the working relationship between the client and therapist. Through being genuine and building trust, I work to create a relationship that allows you to feel comfortable being open and honest. I meet you where you are and spend time understanding who you are and what you need. As a clinical psychologist, I work to individualize treatment based on who you are, as well as incorporating research-based techniques to help you reach your goals. Many of my clients who have been in therapy before describe our work together as what they imagined and hoped therapy would be.

Silence only strengthens shame's grip, fostering a cacophony within that echoes the weight of an internal critic, knotted thoughts, and lingering childhood trauma. The struggle manifests in overwhelming ways, saturating your life, preventing you from moving beyond the echoes of the past and finding solace in the face of pressures. Relentless thoughts persist, accompanied by tumultuous emotions that surface uninvited and unwelcome. It's a challenge to silence mistakes from echoing as sources of shame, leaving you questioning how your life has become entangled in such chaos, weighted under the pressure of professionalism.

I work with adults 18-99, providing individualized therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, such as relationship loss, career shifts, or relocation.
My journey began in the rugged beauty of the Kentucky mountains, where I learned the value of strength and perseverance as the youngest of ten children in a family touched by hardship. As a child of divorce, I experienced adversity loss, and uncertainty. I always wanted a college degree but, it would not become a reality until my forties, when I finally pursued and attained my Master’s Degree in Social Work. My lifelong passion for the underdog, hurting or distressed people, led me to pursue a career as a therapist.

How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
