Therapists in Woodford County, KY

As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), I have been practicing since 2009 with experience in mental and behavioral health counseling with adolescents and adults. I received my Bachelor's degree in Social Work from the University of Kentucky and my Master's degree in Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I have training in a variety of counseling approaches to customize therapy to fit each client's individual needs, including Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

When working with clients, I ensure a practice that is deeply rooted in empowering and guiding clients towards change, growth, and restoration. I encourage a collaborative, judgement-free space for individuals to explore all parts of themselves. I utilize holistic trauma-focused treatments and integrate evidence-based clinical modalities (DBT, CBT, EFT).

Critical Stress and Wellness Center aims to serve first responders and the general public as a multi-specialty group specializing in trauma-informed care, psychological assessments and forensics. Pulling from mindfulness-based practice, cognitive behavioral therapy, and advanced trauma reprocessing therapies, such as EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy, we can work to reprocess emotional connections to the past, restructure maladaptive thinking patterns in the present, and learn how to cope with the unavoidable stressors of future.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the expectations of personal or professional roles? Do you find yourself numbing, hiding or avoiding feelings or painful/uncomfortable situations? Maybe, you have a family member caught in destructive patterns and it's impacting your life? I'd love to help you change unhealthy habits, transform your thoughts, and reconnect with your true self. Together, we can work to replace pain with self-love, change unhealthy patterns, and find healthy ways to deal with life's stressors. I have a strong background in behavior modification strategies, sustaining change, mental health-related issues, and addictions.

Are you looking for a compassionate therapist to support you on your journey toward healing and personal growth?

I have specialized experience in supporting parents of children with Autism or intellectual disabilties.

Whatever you are searching for; I am willing to be a part of your search team to help you locate your confidence, peace, happiness, and understanding. I have helped families work through years of hardships and unfortunate circumstances and find healthy ways to interact with one another and develop boundaries that are safe and meaningful.

I believe we all have the ability to guide the direction of our life towards a more genuine and authentic path no matter what we’ve experienced in the past. This new path can feel uncomfortable and uncertain and having someone there to walk alongside you can help make these steps feel more safe and secure. My experience is working with children through adults in their process of healing and growth.

Openings immediately! I am passionate about helping people deal with changes in life as they navigate the path to independence, confidence, and a peaceful mind. I have worked primarily with adults and teenagers who are going through feelings of anxiety, panic, depression, and the lasting effects of trauma. I am particularly passionate about working with people who have experienced religious trauma. I provide a nonjudgemental space for people of all identities to clarify and work towards the change they want to see in their life and find a place where they belong.

Most people will find themselves at one time or another experiencing trauma, difficult life transitions, or just feeling stuck. I will meet you exactly where you’re at, and provide a safe and compassionate space where you can be truly seen and heard. We may uncover patterns, beliefs, and past hurts, but we will also look at other influences in your life that may have had an impact. I will also provide practical tools that you can implement to start helping yourself feel better.

As a dedicated clinical social worker, I am here to guide you on a transformative journey towards holistic healing. Rooted in a profound understanding of the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, I specialize in trauma-informed care. With advanced training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), I bring evidence-based practices to empower you on your path to recovery.
