I'm a student of life, traveling my own personal growth journey since the age of 19. A growth mindset has allowed me to turn lemons into lemonade on many occasions in life. A therapist with 13+ years of experience with notable trainings in the areas of trauma. I'm a certified partner trauma therapist through the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals, a special education that allows me to treat individuals who've experienced betrayal within intimate relationships. My approach is eclectic, piecing together various therapies to meet the needs of the patient. I’m currently licensed to practice in KY, FL, and VT.
During the first session, you can expect to answer questions that allow the therapist to understand who you are, how you became who you, what your concerns are and begin discussing a plan to help achieve your goals. Consider the first session an interview and feel empowered to ask questions about my training and experience treating your specific concerns.
I'm not just a provider, but a human being who has and continues to practice skills and techniques discussed in therapy. Having done the hard work of healing in my life, I understand the healing process and use this experience to provide compassionate guidance and support.
I am a goal directed therapist and work best with patients open to guidance and willing to integrate information between sessions.
