Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker near Lexington, KY. I have 11 years experience and have worked in a community mental health center and in a counseling center at a small university.

I help clients engage in the change process and support them on their journey to becoming more healthy.

Do you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted? Are you struggling with depression, carrying the weight of past trauma, or wondering if you’ll ever feel like yourself again? If you’ve spent years people-pleasing, doubting yourself, or wondering whether you’re “good enough,” you don’t have to face it alone. I specialize in helping adults heal from anxiety, depression, and trauma. As an EMDR-trained therapist, I use evidence-based approaches to help you move beyond simply managing symptoms and begin healing the experiences that continue to impact your life today. Together, we’ll explore what’s underneath the anxiety, guilt, sadness, or emotional heaviness you’ve been carrying so you can reconnect with yourself and move forward with confidence. My goal is to help you rediscover your worth, set healthy boundaries without guilt, and create a life that feels authentic and meaningful. With over 14 years of experience, including extensive work with survivors of trauma, I bring compassion, honesty, and authenticity into every session. You are the expert on your own life, and my role is to provide a safe, supportive space where healing can happen and where you can begin believing that you are enough, just as you are.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW/LICSW) providing individual therapy to adults (18+) across Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and Kentucky. My journey to becoming a therapist began with a deep desire to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. This passion led me to pursue a double major in Criminal Justice and Psychology, giving me insight into both human behavior and the systems that shape our experiences. From there, I earned a Master’s Degree in Social Work, building a strong foundation to guide, support, and empower those I work with. My practice is grounded in a client-centered, collaborative, and trauma-informed philosophy. I view therapy as a partnership, with your voice and perspective at the center. I draw from approaches such as Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), EMDR, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to meet your needs and support meaningful progress.

Hi! I'm so happy you're considering taking me along on your journey for a while. I've been providing counseling services for over 15 years now and it's been incredible to witness the change my clients have experienced through the clinical counseling process. I believe we both create and discover meaning through each choice we make, no matter the situation we might find ourselves in. I am excited to work with you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for ten years now. You will always know yourself better than I can or will. From a philosophical and theoretical standpoint. I am overwhelming more of an attachment theorist, and have been known to use existentialism from time to time to help make sense of something. I guess the question that remains though is; can a butterfly flap it's wings in Brazil and cause a tornado in Kentucky, or are we all simply just products of our childhood and mirrors of our parents traumas? The duality of life. Attachment Theory vs. Chaos Theory. Both have value. I digress. My goal is to provide a petridish in which you can explore your self. Safe. Contained. Yet completely in your control. The paradox being, you likely already have what you need. I'll sit with you while you find it. I can give you my clinical opinion, or diagnosis, and recommendations along the way as well if you'd like that. I can just sit and listen. I can play devils advocate. My job is to listen, empower, observe, and provide feedback when requested.

As a seasoned therapist, I have experience working with a broad range of mental health and life challenges. I believe effective therapy begins with creating a safe, respectful environment where clients can explore their concerns, ask meaningful questions, and discover practical answers that lead to positive, lasting change. My primary therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while recognizing that every client is unique. When appropriate, I incorporate other therapeutic modalities and techniques to meet the individual needs, goals, and circumstances of each person. My practice includes marriage and family counseling, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, concerns related to aging, workplace and career challenges, conflict resolution and mediation, and faith-based counseling when requested. I welcome individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds and with a wide variety of concerns. My goal is not simply to help clients manage their symptoms, but to help them develop healthier coping skills, gain greater self-understanding, and move forward with greater confidence and purpose. I also value collaboration. Over the years, I have developed a network of physicians, mental health professionals, and spiritual advisors whose knowledge and perspective I can draw upon when it may benefit a client. I believe good therapy sometimes means recognizing when additional expertise or a different perspective is needed. Most importantly, I believe therapy is about the client—not the therapist. If a client or I determine that I am not the best fit for their particular needs, I will do everything I can to help them find a professional who is better suited to assist them. My priority is always helping the client receive the care that gives them the best opportunity to heal, grow, and move forward.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker who brings warmth, depth, and clarity to individual therapy. I blend evidence-based approaches with flexibility to meet each client’s unique needs. I specialize in anxiety, depression, coping skills, self-esteem, mood disorders, grief, health/medical issues, trauma/PTSD, and complex relationships—especially when high-conflict dynamics or emotional confusion are involved. Together, we create a collaborative space to understand patterns, build insight, and foster lasting, meaningful change. Don't keep suffering, schedule a session today.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Kentucky, Florida, South Carolina (self-pay only), and Tennessee with 8 years experience working with people making change in their life. I have worked with people challenged by depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, and life changing situations. My approach is solution focused, client centered, and strengths based drawing heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Theory. When working with clients I strive to make the therapy experience genuine, positive, respectful, and safe. I believe that you have the ability to rewrite your own story with support from a professional. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I am excited to meet you and work together to identify your goals and make plans to achieve them! Be proud of yourself for taking this first step to your new narrative!
