I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky and a Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CMHC) in Utah. I have over 20 years experience working therapeutically with individuals (adults and adolescents) making positive changes in their lives. I primarily work with people challenged by depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, abuse and general life-changing situations. My counseling style is interactive, empathetic, and warm. I believe listening is the key to success in a therapeutic relationship and every individual I serve will feel heard. My approach is client-centered, solution-focused and strength-based drawing heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am holistic in my approach, integrating mind and body connection and encourage my clients to consider these connections in their daily lives to enhance health and wholeness.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I strive to make the therapy experience genuine, positive, respectful and safe. I believe that YOU are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming/managing the issues that challenge you. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the steps to accomplish that. If you are ready to take those steps, I am here to support and help empower you.
