You made it here so you are one step closer to getting the help you deserve. Congratulations!
I am a LCSW based out of Southern, Kentucky but originally from Middle Tennessee. I made my way to the beloved Commonwealth of Kentucky to complete my undergraduate degree, Applied Human Sciences with a focus on family and child studies, at Western Kentucky University (WKU). Go Tops! I liked WKU enough that I stuck around for another two years where I completed my Masters in Social Work.
Unfortunately I was not granted a wand with my degree to make everyone's life magically better but I was granted the opportunity to help every client I serve. As your therapist I promise to respect, support, and collaborate with you to establish the best way to navigate through the trials and tribulations of life.

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.

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 am passionate about helping my brothers and sisters in arms move their lives forward and to find their new normal.
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.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker based in Bowling Green, KY who has an obsession with Dolly Parton, Pekingese dogs, and New Orleans. I have been in practice since 2017 and have worked with clients experiencing substance abuse, sexual trauma, and grief and loss. I believe that therapy can awaken parts of us that hold more strength than we know. Therapy gives back to us the power and the peace that might be eluding us because of that pain and confusion and longing we struggle with as a result of trauma or neglect. I have seen the way therapy can heal and inspire change and it is the highest honor to walk alongside my clients in their journey. As a therapist, I still haven't found magic words to make it all better or take it all away. But in sessions with me, you will feel heard and seen.

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 :)

I am a licensed LCSW/LCADCA in Kentucky with 6 years of clinical work experience and over 5 years of working with various populations. I attended Bellarmine University with a concentration in Psychology. I have a BSW and an MSSW from The Kent School of Social Work. I have experience in helping clients heal through stress, anxiety, substance abuse, childhood/lifetime trauma, PTSD, borderline personality, depression, self-esteem, family conflict, sexual dysfunction, professional career stress, and anger management. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment/shame. Authenticity and acceptance of self is a superpower that allows you to accomplish amazing things. I specialize in Trauma/Addiction/mental health with a focus on skill-building, self-compassion, and trauma-informed care. I am sex-positive and inclusive in all sessions. Taking the steps to seek a better life can be scary and hard. We can be afraid and do hard things at the same time. I am here to support you in that process and help you embrace how beautiful life can be.
I am open to discussing sliding scale options for those who wish to pursue private pay.

Hey there! I'm Morgan, and I'm a telehealth therapist. Nice to meet you! I've had the pleasure of working with people from all walks of life - and each and every one of them has been unique in their own way. That's why I strongly believe that therapy shouldn't be a one size fits all approach.
When we work together, you won't be talking to a robot. I make it a point to really get to know my clients on a deep level. We'll have genuine conversations. I'm all about providing a down-to-earth style of therapy because I believe it fosters a stronger client-therapist relationship.
Respecting your pace is crucial to me. You'll never be pushed to share more than you're comfortable with or forced into a process that doesn't feel right for you. Therapy should be a safe and supportive space where you can truly be yourself.
