Learn from the past, live for today, and hope for tomorrow! I am passionate about helping people and would love to help you in your journey! Trust is the key ingredient to counseling and I know that often the hardest part is asking for help. My goal is to empower people, focusing on strengths to achieve full potential and wellness. I have over 17 years of experience counseling and am a LPCC and LPATA, earning my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from UK in 2002 and my Master's degree in Counseling with concentration in Art Therapy from UofL in 2005.

As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor I consider therapy a path of change by way of a specific kind of partnership where clients feel understood, valued, and free to explore patterns of thoughts, emotions, conflicts, and relationships. My approach to counseling is a blend of theoretical concepts aimed at resolving conflicts and refining the necessary skills to meet life's challenges.

Life can be messy and often times overwhelming. Throughout our journey we are faced with a need for support while navigating relationships, mental health challenges, and trauma. I am here to help wherever you are on this journey. I am trained in several modalities, including EMDR, Polyvagal/Nervous System regulation, disassociative experiences, and somatic therapy. I believe the therapeutic relationship is essential to healing providing a safe environment through compassion, gentle realness, and without judgement.

Life is full of surprises and can be challenging. What's most important is how we grow through our experiences. I believe everyone can be resilient and I hope to provide a safe space for those on a journey to heal and discover their best self.

If you are searching for a therapist, you must be wanting or needing some kind of change. Change, while overwhelming, is a necessary part of life. I really view my work as helping people negotiate changes in life and help them discover how to feel better. My treatment philosophy is simple. I focus on building a trusting and collaborative relationship with you first. Then, with your goals and feedback, I tailor a treatment plan just for you. I work with a wide variety of issues including anxiety, complex PTSD, depression, grief, AD/HD, OCD, LGBTQIA, PTSD, relationship issues, life developmental hurdles, and plain old life stress.

I enjoy working with motivated clients to restore the balance to their lives, and to expand beyond that. I specialize in helping people to understand themselves and to understand their relationships by combining traditional therapy with transpersonal approaches. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I have a PhD in Energy Medicine.

I don't feel like myself. I don’t want to get out of bed or do anything. My teen doesn’t come out of his/her room. My teenager doesn’t seem like him/herself. Any of these sound like you or a loved one? What about, I/(insert loved one) keeps getting worked up over the smallest things or seems to be struggling? Whether you or your loved one know the agenda you want to work on or just need a place to talk freely and figure out how to stop saying these things, I am here to help you. I don’t mind working with anyone age 8 and up but I love the challenge teenagers and young adults bring and helping them see their future differently.

"Never underestimate a person's capacity for change." This motto has driven my approach to assisting others throughout my 10+ years as a helping professional. We all have a unique set of circumstances and experiences that shape us for better or worse. This sometimes results in difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviors. If you desire to overcome life's obstacles, therapy may be your opportunity. Whether you suffer from anxiety, depression or any other issue life may throw at you, empowerment and insight is just a step away.

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 believe that every client is resilient and capable of change and personal growth, which can amount to a happy, healthy and gratifying life, as defined by the client. I strive to provide an honest, safe and secure environment to allow clients to open up, share and be their authentic selves. I take a collaborative, compassionate and empathic stance and am committed to tailoring treatment to meet the needs of my clients.
