As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Supervisor with a Master's degree from Lindsey Wilson College, I bring expertise and empathy to our therapeutic journey. As a neuropsychotherapist, I treat the brain with a focus on its powerful yet sensitive nature, integrating knowledge from neuroscience into psychotherapy. In our work together, we will incorporate neuroscience findings related to neurons, neurotransmitters, memory, neuroplasticity, and brain structures to develop effective brain-based techniques. I prioritize building genuine rapport and trust with my clients, creating a safe space where we can collaboratively process life's events and work towards healing and growth together. Our therapeutic relationship will be at the core of this process, focusing on a strong therapist-client connection. Additionally, we will utilize techniques to integrate the left and right brain hemispheres, aiming to achieve emotional balance, instill hope, and foster self-efficacy. By blending these approaches, we will work towards enhancing your overall mental health and well-being.

This is not the life you pictured, is it? You know things need to change but have no idea where to start. Being a human in this fast-paced society is quite difficult and often times heartbreaking. I strive to place the therapeutic relationship as my primary focus, because until someone feels authentically accepted, change is not going to be possible. You came here to change things in your life but ironically, first you have to learn to accept who and what you are, right in this moment. I can help you get to that place! I mix science of the brain & body in combination with identifying the many loops and patterns we tend to get "stuck" in, to help clients achieve authentic change, and a more peaceful outlook on themselves and their life.

Are you tired of the struggle? The struggle to even get up and get through the day? Or the struggle to keep a lid on your emotions out of fear? Are you tired of worry? Tired of being haunted by memories? Is anxiety and/or depression presenting you with more struggles? Are you struggling to find a path in life? Do you feel as if you're not living up to your full potential in your career or relationships? I help people realize that the struggle itself is sometimes worse than what we are struggling against; and that the struggle can then become the main problem. The struggle can hide real solutions to those problems. The struggle becomes more important. The "struggle is real." With an understanding of how we can get into these habits of struggle, and with evidence-based mindfulness practices to help us respond rather than react (the struggle), you absolutely can lead a rich and full life. I'll help you find this path. Working together we can get through (or around), the struggle and move forward on a valued path - rather than one that emphasizes the need to avoid and control problems that life inevitably presents us. All of us.

*In-Person Appointments Available per request. Hello! First things first, I would like to give you massive amounts of credit for making the choice to begin/continue your journey to healing, health and happiness. Whether you choose me or another provider it is extremely brave to make the effort to look into beginning or continuing with therapy services. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has spent approximately ten years in the field with the last six being in the clinical setting as a therapist. I have worked with youth, ages 4-21, who have experienced trauma and were placed in out of home care or in the independent living program through the state. I have worked with individuals of all ages who struggled with addiction and dual-diagnosis, and I have worked most recently with individuals who have survived or were impacted by sexual trauma. These groups also included individuals with more common diagnosis such as Depression and Anxiety. I love helping people find their own light and worth within themselves. When I work with clients my goal is to ultimately foster independence and the ability to function well in the world without my help, however; I also believe therapy every now and then is similar to an oil change for your brain. Life is ever changing and having a consistent person you can trust and check in with can be extremely healing and helpful. I believe the most important thing you can do as a clinician is to genuinely care about the people you serve and I feel that those I work with are able to tell that I am authentic in attitude. Please understand if I am working with a child in your care I will need your participation as the parent or guardian as well. Children make the most progress when they are surrounded by adults who understand their needs (which is sometimes more difficult than it sounds). I am not in the business of "fixing" children/adolescents, but do try to help them learn how to navigate life in a healthy more productive way which hopefully will result in their being more happy and fulfilled human beings.

Hello! My name is Amaris and I'm happy you're here :) Do you ever feel confused by your behavior? Do you act in ways that are incongruent with who you want to be? Do you struggle with self-doubt and wish you could have more confidence? There are always reasons why people do the things they do. My approach is to help alleviate shame and unnecessary guilt by helping clients understand the “why” behind their emotions and behaviors. I use a trauma-informed approach with all my clients and aim to create an emotionally safe space to explore vulnerable thoughts and feelings. Sometimes personal growth means accepting that you're either going to deal with your stuff, or your stuff is going to deal with you. Therapy is a great place to start the healing process.

Are you a parent of a high-achieving adolescent or college student who seems to be withdrawing from school and from their friends? COVID created treacherous hurdles that high school and college students had to navigate including lack of socializing with peers and not having adequate support from teachers and inadequate learning opportunities for them to develop into confident students. Competition is now relentless due to 24 hour access to social media and kids just don't have enough down time to unplug. Are you a veteran of any of the conflicts in Afghanistan or Iraq? Are you having trouble integrating into civilian life or are traumatic memories of combat preventing you from having healthy relationships? I get it. I served in the U.S. Army from March of 2009 to September 2014 and deployed to Mosul, Iraq as part of Operation New Dawn.

I also enjoy helping professional women with life transitions whether that mean a new job, becoming a parent, infertility issues, or pursuing a new career. Please give me a call. Therapy is a collaborative process and I look forward to helping you on your journey.

Like you, I have had my own set of challenges and believe the key to overcoming life's obstacles is learning to plan and cope. You can't control all the pain that will come our way, but we can control how we react to it. Of course, this is sometimes easier said than done and we need help. I would be honored to assist you in your journey towards a happier healthier you.

I am licensed in Kentucky and Florida with 9 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping individuals with coping with high stress careers/front line workers/emergency professionals, addictions, PTSD/ trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & LGBTQ related issues. Life has many challenges and no one heals the same way. If you are experiencing trauma let me reassure you- you will NEVER be expected to go over the details of the events that have affected you. We will work on your stressors and challenges in a way that will not leave you feel retraumatized or heavier. By meeting my customers where they are at I create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It can be difficult to talk about sensitive issues, but in a safe environment we are allowed to unload the pain and open up to healing. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

It's okay to not be okay, and I am so proud of you for putting in the research to find a therapist who is a good fit for you. A little bit about myself, I was raised in Lexington, KY and after living in Western Kentucky for 11 years, I have returned home to my roots. I graduated from Western Kentucky University with a Masters in Social Work and have worked as a psychotherapist in community mental health, private practice, and assisted care facilities. I would describe myself as quirky, direct, and compassionate. I am a mom of two boys who are my absolute world and the reason for transitioning to online therapy. I absolutely love my job and love working with people to improve their mental health and overall quality of life. You deserve to be heard, believed and encouraged. Giving therapy a shot can feel intimidating but also life-changing and if you're still reading this I hope that you will consider booking an appointment with yours truly :)
