Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who received my master's degree from Union University in Jackson, TN. I have been practicing in the field of social work for 8 years and clinically practicing for the last 3 years. I believe we all have the ability to guide the direction of our life towards a more genuine and authentic path no matter what we’ve experienced in the past. This new path can feel uncomfortable and uncertain and having someone there to walk alongside you can help make these steps feel more safe and secure. My experience is working with children through adults in their process of healing and growth. I have been trained in the following modalities: Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, play therapy, and nature therapy.

"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls, the most massive characters are seared with scars." Khalil Gibran
Through out my 11 years of counseling I have come to know and had the pleasure of working with some amazingly strong souls. I have learned just as much from them as they have from me. I was born and raised in Eastern Kentucky. I now reside in central Kentucky.

I currently serve as the Director of Mental Health for a correctional-based healthcare organization. In this role I have had the opportunity to interact with individuals from all walks of life. My therapeutic approach is integrative, combining evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and psychodynamic techniques tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.
My passion lies in working with adults and teens dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and life transitions. I believe in the power of a strong therapeutic relationship, where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. Together, we work to uncover underlying issues, build coping strategies, and develop a deeper understanding of self.
My career in mental health began working for the local child services organization. This was an eye opening opportunity that allowed me to see the gaps in the system and how individuals and families have limited access to needed resources. I then transitioned to a position at a children's hospital, working directly with those in crisis providing trauma response and grief therapy. I have experience counseling birth-mothers who are considering creating an adoption plan as well as at-risk youth in a pre-military setting. This background gives me a vast understanding that not all individuals are the same. Each person has their own battles and I am committed to creating a warm, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace.
Outside of my practice, I enjoy spending time with friends and family. I enjoy exploring the outdoors with my pup, Louie. I am dedicated to ongoing professional development and regularly attend workshops and seminars to stay current with the latest advancements in psychology and psychotherapy.

*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.

I have approximately 30 years of experience in virtually all clinical settings. I began my career working in a juvenile penitentiary (referred to as a 'youth development center) and after almost 6 years, left that setting and moved on to new opportunities. Along the way, I worked with group homes, foster homes, substance abuse treatment programs, and even provided treatment in a sexual offender treatment program. In 2004 I went solely into private practice and currently operate two offices. I also provided on-site services to businesses that suffer a death or other disruptive event; I have provided over 170 of these services in four states during the last several years. While you don't need any faith to see me, I also offer Christian Counseling. Finally, I am a US Army veteran and understand the challenges and needs of veterans.
I operate under a practical approach that seeks to build on a person's strengths to achieve realistic, measurable goals. I utilize primarily cognitive behavioral therapy and reality therapy to help my clients achieve their goals and to live life more fully.
