Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Kentucky. Life is full of change and transitions. We can't always control the events in our lives, but we can choose how we respond to them. My goal as a therapist is to provide education and support to people as they learn how to integrate changes into their life story. I believe we all need someone in our lives who provides a safe, nonjudgmental safe space to ask difficult questions and express unfiltered thoughts and emotions. I do more than listen. I teach coping skills as well as provide direct, respectful feedback.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
A first session starts off with brief introduction. Next, I ask Clients to articulate why they are choosing therapy at this time in their life. After the client has identified at least one issue that have brought them to therapy we will begin addressing concerns and develop strategies to promote health coping.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
For the past several years, I have assisted people identify problems and develop concrete action plans to address their issues. Solution focused work is my goal for therapy sessions.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with adults of all ages assimilate change into their life in a healthy way. Grief and loss often accompany both positive and negative live changes. Births, deaths, marriage, divorce, starting a new career, losing a job and other life events are best processed with a impartial, nonjudgmental person who can teach coping skills. I strive to be that person for my clients.
