Chronic Illness Therapists in Nicholasville, KY

I am a doctoral student at the University of Kentucky in the Department of Education and the Center for Research on Counseling Education. My research focuses on intellectual and developmental disabilities, with a specific focus on understudied populations. I believe that when a counselor recognizes the more significant contextual issues which affect the client's well-being, advocacy in combination with behavioral therapy can be an appropriate intervention for the client.

It's never easy asking for help, and choosing someone to help with issues as difficult as anxiety, depression, past trauma, or current relationship issues can be a stressful process in and of itself. Thank you for taking the time to read through my profile and considering me to support you in your process. As someone with a degenerative eye disease, I know what it's like to struggle. Life is often difficult and I want to assist people in finding a greater understanding and practical solutions in their lives that ultimately lead to greater happiness.

Life can feel like an overwhelming maze. Throw in fears about the unknown, low energy or mood, and the pressure to keep it together, and it can feel like the worst kind of obstacle course was dropped into that maze. Never mind the mixed information to “take a left!” or “go right!” It’s tough knowing what will actually be helpful when uncertainty or stress hit and you can’t focus on anything else. Or how to take the next step when you feel frazzled just by the thought of balancing of everything. And who actually knows how to navigate what it feels like to be side-swiped by medical anxiety or your new role as a caregiver?

You keep searching the internet hoping to find something that will help you find normalcy again. Everything feels like a struggle anymore and you can't recall the last time you were actually happy or even content. You find yourself with an open bottle of wine almost every night or hiding in a closet to catch your breath from your life. Looking for answers with food, alcohol, exercise, shopping, accomplishments, or even attention has left you exhausted and empty. You have a great life but it doesn't feel great living it.

Life-changing healing is possible. Rebecca has experienced it firsthand in her own life and the lives of her clients! Suffering is a universal experience, but we do not have to remain captives of our past or fear our future. Clients who work with Rebecca see change, often experiencing decreased symptoms after the first session. She provides clients space to process the curve balls life has thrown, and gives them tools to help make practical changes outside sessions to meet their goals.

I love working with teens through individuals in late adulthood. Addressing depression, and anxiety, and processing traumatic events are essential to unlocking our true potential. These challenges can hinder our growth and prevent us from reaching our full potential. I am passionate about helping clients create positive changes so they can live more fulfilling lives. My mission is to guide individuals through their struggles, enabling them to navigate life's obstacles successfully. Through this process, we work towards fostering resilience, emotional restoration, and a renewed sense of control.

As someone who wants to change the world, I chose the counseling profession because I came to believe the best way to facilitate that change is by helping individuals, marriages, and families become fully healthy emotionally, physically, relationally, and spiritually.

I enjoy working with both adults and adolescents. Who we are is a direct result of what we experience and surround ourselves with. Because of this, a narrative is created. Sometimes the narrative we have for ourselves can be harmful. When a client is experiencing a discrepancy in his/her life, I work hard to gain understanding of how they experience the world so that I can better serve my client's needs. Gaining control of your mental health is empowering and because of this, I work to create an environment to foster growth and understanding within the clients therapeutic journey!
