LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Richmond, KY
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of successful therapy. I believe in acceptance-based change. We must first accept what is before we can decide what will be. This included self-acceptance. I use an integrated counseling approach that emphasizes congruence, unconditional positive regard, empathic understanding, and collaboration. I also draw on various techniques, from humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, rational-emotive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and positive psychology.

In my experience with working with individuals from all walks of life, a nearly universal thread that I see underlying most mental health and substance abuse struggles are histories of trauma. This life is hard and this world is cruel. Therefore, most of my practice comes from an understanding of the intergenerational effects and ongoing disruption that a single traumatic event can pose on an individual’s wellbeing. Utilizing CBT, DBT, and ACT, my goal is to help clients heal in a holistic manner.

Life is a journey and sometimes we may need a little help along the way. On life's journey we may experience anxiety, depression, grief or trauma which me may lead us feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, fearful or angry. Sometime we may need someone to walk beside us on the journey to assist in overcoming and healing from life's ups and downs.

I have been working as a therapist since 2008 and enjoy helping people understand the role of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in creating a life worth living for themselves. Relationships are important for coping with day to day stressors. One that often gets neglected is the personal relationship an individual has with his or herself. I enjoy helping people identify their strengths and define themselves by these qualities.

As far as anyone around you can tell, you are doing okay (maybe even great!), but deep down you feel you are barely holding it together. You’ve spent your whole life taking care of others and ignoring your own needs for the benefit of everyone around you. It feels like no one, maybe not even yourself, knows the real you. If you truly let someone in, what if they look at you completely different? You are terrified people will reject you and see you as a burden if you are no longer the "strong one." The fears creep in each time you think about breaking down the wall you've carefully crafted to keep others from getting too close.

The most important parts of mental wellness are the ability to increase one’s self-awareness and broaden one’s perspective. As your counselor, I will provide a safe and judgment free environment for you to gain a better understanding of whatever issues you are dealing with as an individual, couple, or in any other types of romantic relationships. The main goal of most clients is "to feel better," and I am here to help you make that goal more specific so that you can grow in the areas most important to you. I also strive to destigmatize counseling for men, Black / African-Americans, and other minority groups.
