Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 20 years of experience based in Kentucky and Ohio. I received my Masters from the University of Cincinnati. I help adults struggling with change, depression, anxiety, and trauma learn to cope thereby improving quality of life. I have worked at a nonprofit, emergency departments, EAP setting, and at the US Department of Veterans Affairs.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
In my over 20 years of experience I have learned that actively listening, developing a non judgement style, and being open minded aide in my clients feeling comfortable enough to express their therapeutic needs. I pride myself on exuding warmth and acceptance. I validate feelings and challenge thinking/behavioral patterns. I focus on the client's strengths to develop an individual approach to treatment.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am most helpful to adults struggling with life changes, symptoms of depression/anxiety, personality disorders, and PTSD. I have vast experience and training in a number of different treatment modalities. I understand that entering a new therapeutic relationship can be scary and work to develop a relationship based on compassion and hope. This supportive environment helps people feel comfortable. Our collaborative partnership encourages my clients to develop skills to achieve treatment goals.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
This treatment modality covers four key areas. It is used to teach mindfulness skills, regulate emotions, develop new relationships, improve old relationships, and tolerate stress.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is used to link thoughts to feelings and behaviors. Helping clients develop skills to change their thoughts to reduce intense emotions and impulsive/mood dependent behavior. This is helpful when treating depression and anxiety.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-Based therapies can be used to reduce stress and increase joy. This can be helpful when dealing with substance use issues, experiencing work or financial issues, and to cope with medical diagnosis.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing techniques help clients explore their ambivalence to change. This technique is typically used when treating addictions, however; it can be helpful when addressing any changes in life that the client deems important.
Trauma Informed Care
Trauma informed care is an empathetic way to address trauma. I couple this with prolonged exposure therapy to address symptoms created by experiencing trauma, potentially resulting in adjustment related disorders and PTSD.
