New to Grow
I'm a dedicated therapist with several years of experience serving in Central Kentucky. I've had the privilege of working with adolescents in school settings and individuals in rural areas. My experience has allowed me to help clients navigate a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, ADHD, and grief. I'm committed to providing a safe and supportive space where you can explore your emotions, gain insights, and develop effective coping strategies.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
My goal is for you to leave each session feeling truly heard and understood. I want to help you recognize your own resilience and identify the positive aspects of yourself that you may have overlooked. Together, we'll explore areas for growth and develop a personalized plan to help you achieve your goals.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My therapeutic approach is rooted in creating a calm and peaceful environment where you can feel comfortable exploring your thoughts and feelings. I believe in fostering a collaborative relationship built on trust and understanding. While the healing process takes time, I'll be there to gently challenge you to discover your inner strengths and build upon them.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I've had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life, from teenagers to adults in their 60s. I particularly enjoy helping individuals navigate challenges like ADHD, grief, anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship issues.
Narrative
Narrative therapy helps individuals separate themselves from their problems by exploring and re-authoring the stories they tell about their lives. This approach empowers clients to view challenges from a new perspective and reclaim agency in shaping their identity and future. You are the author of your story and you can take control of it to better your view of your past, present, and future!
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. Through structured techniques, clients learn practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and negative thinking, promoting healthier coping and improved functioning.
Gottman method
The Gottman Method is grounded in research on relationship dynamics and helps couples build trust, enhance communication, and manage conflict effectively. By fostering deeper emotional connection and mutual respect, couples can strengthen relationship stability and satisfaction.
Psychoeducation
Provides clients with knowledge about mental health conditions, emotional regulation, and coping strategies to increase understanding and self-efficacy. Educated clients are better equipped to recognize symptoms, apply therapeutic skills, and engage actively in their healing process.
Christian Counseling
Integrates psychological principles with faith-based values to support holistic healing—addressing mind, body, and spirit. This approach helps clients find meaning, hope, and guidance through both spiritual and therapeutic perspectives.
