(he/him)
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky, dedicated to providing comprehensive support for mental health and relationship challenges. I earned my doctorate from Madison University, where I gained a deep understanding of psychological theories and therapeutic practices. Additionally, I completed postgraduate studies at Southern Illinois University, further enhancing my expertise in counseling. With over 40 years of experience in the field, I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and interpersonal relationship problems. My therapeutic approach is highly collaborative; I work closely with my clients to create a safe and supportive environment where they can openly explore their thoughts and feelings. Together, we identify specific concerns and work on defining personal goals that align with their values and aspirations. I use evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each client's unique needs, ensuring we develop effective strategies for lasting change and improved overall well-being. My commitment is to empower my clients on their journey toward personal growth and healing, fostering resilience and healthier relationships in their lives.
I have a diverse background that combines both clinical expertise and rich life experiences, which enables me to engage comfortably and effectively with clients on various issues they wish to explore. I believe that a non-judgmental approach is essential in fostering a safe space for our conversations. My primary goal is to listen attentively and provide the support you need as we navigate your challenges together. In our first session, we will start with brief introductions to help us establish a connection. After that, I will invite you to share the specific challenges you are currently facing. This open dialogue will allow me to gain a deeper understanding of your situation and experiences. Based on our discussion, I will work to develop a personalized plan tailored to your needs, which we can work on together in our future sessions. This collaborative approach is designed to empower you as we work towards your goals.
With many years of clinical experience supporting individuals and families, I have refined a wide array of effective strategies to empower my clients. My approach focuses on helping them uncover the underlying causes of their challenges, which often may not be immediately apparent. By facilitating a thorough exploration of their circumstances, I guide my clients to gain deeper insights into their situations. Once we identify these root causes, we work together to develop a tailored plan that addresses their unique needs and circumstances. This customized plan is structured to ensure measurable progress, allowing clients to track their growth and achievements over time. My goal is to provide them with the tools and support they need to navigate their journey toward improvement and well-being effectively.
I enjoy assisting adults experiencing mild, moderate, or severe emotional trauma. My past clinical experiences include working as a mental health/substance abuse therapist at a regional hospital, supervisor of a residential substance abuse treatment center, director of a regional mental health agency, private practice with four state-licensed offices in Kentucky, and over one year providing telehealth therapy. My clients desire a better life but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious about their future.
