Hello! I am a dedicated and licensed professional in Kentucky, holding qualifications as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Alcohol Drug Counselor, specializing in substance abuse treatment and mental health care. I earned my Master of Education degree from Lindsey Wilson College in December 2021 and am currently pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy in Counselor Education & Supervision from the same institution, further deepening my expertise in the field. With seven years of hands-on experience, my focus has been on empowering individuals struggling with substance abuse and alcoholism to achieve lasting recovery. Additionally, I specialize in addressing various mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders. My approach is rooted in compassion, evidence-based practices, and a commitment to providing comprehensive and personalized care to each client. I strive to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where individuals can explore their challenges, foster resilience, and work towards achieving their personal goals for mental wellness and a fulfilling life.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In your initial counseling session, we'll focus on establishing a comfortable and open environment. We'll start by discussing your reasons for seeking counseling, your goals, and what you hope to gain from our sessions. I'll take the time to get to know you better, asking questions to understand your background, experiences, and concerns. We'll also explore any immediate issues you'd like to address and begin outlining a potential roadmap for our future sessions. This initial meeting serves as a foundation for our therapeutic relationship, where we'll collaborate to create a safe space for growth, exploration, and positive change.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a counselor, my greatest strengths lie in my empathetic approach, deep listening skills, and ability to create a safe and nonjudgmental space for individuals to explore their thoughts and emotions. I excel in building strong rapport and trust with my clients, fostering a collaborative relationship that empowers them to navigate challenges and achieve personal growth. My strong communication skills and adaptability allow me to tailor therapeutic techniques to meet each individual's unique needs, ensuring a supportive and effective counseling experience.
