Hello there, I am a LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker). I have roughly 10 years of experience. My passion is to serve those who are struggling with domestic violence, depression, anxiety, or challenging circumstances. I obtained my undergraduate degree from the University of Kentucky and my masters from Capella University. My goal is to help you process the things you have identified and provide you with the tools to improve the quality of your life. Healing is possible.
In your first session, we will spend time getting to know one another. We will discuss your goals for treatment and expectations of your therapist. It is important to make sure that I am a good fit for you. This is your journey to heal.
I feel that my greatest strengths as a therapist, are compassionate, kind, patent, and I want you to succeed and heal. Therapy is a big step. This is your journey. You define your success!
I have a passion for working with those who have child-hood trauma, self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, abuse, domestic violence, narcissistic abuse, and PTSD. I will provide you with tools that you can utilize for the rest of your life, so you can overcome the challenges you have survived. We will explore and find new meaning in your life.

I believe that gaining control over your mind and thoughts is one of the most powerful tools we have. Sometimes, life hands us difficult circumstances that require us change our thought patterns.
Positive psychology can help you transform your life by finding meaning, purpose, and the positives in your life. I am here to help you sort through trauma, thought patterns, and negative influences, by providing you tools to transform your life through positive psychology.
As a therapist, I believe that compassion is imperative. Whether you are going through a breakup, a loss, challenging situations at work, or inner turmoil, there will be empathy and compassion extended.
When working with clients, I do believe in being solutions focused. Being solutions focused can help decrease anxiety and teach clients skills to learn to think differently when faced with obstacles and decisions.
As a clinician that has worked with survivors of narcissistic abuse, sexual abuse, and child -hood trauma, I believe in the power of cognitive behavioral therapy to assist you in being able to cope with the distress that trauma can bring.
