Meet The Therapist
Reaching out for help can be scary and I applaud you for taking this first step. Prior to scheduling, please call for a brief consultation. The phone number is (502) 252-1601.
My goal with therapy is to provide a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, where you can talk openly, feel heard and begin to work through what has been weighing on you. I see therapy as a collaborative effort to find what works for you to feel stronger, more balanced and ultimately, more connected to what matters most to you in a world that often feels "un-connected". I hold licenses in Kentucky and in Indiana.
I have both a Bachelors Degree and a Masters Degree in Social Work. In my lifetime I have been a daughter, sister, partner, wife, mother (to both human and fur baby) and friend.
With more than 20 years of experience in social work and behavioral health, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals and families navigate life's most difficult moments with compassion, dignity, and hope. My diverse professional background has given me the opportunity to serve clients across a variety of settings, providing me with a deep understanding of the emotional, medical, and social challenges people face throughout the lifespan.
My experience includes working in hospitals, as well as providing care in clients' homes through home health and hospice services. In these roles, I supported individuals and their loved ones as they faced chronic illness, aging, end-of-life concerns, grief, caregiver stress, and significant life transitions. I understand that these experiences can be overwhelming, and I believe no one should have to face them alone.
I have also worked extensively with families involved in child protective services, helping parents and caregivers navigate complex family dynamics, overcome significant challenges, and create safer, healthier environments for themselves and their children. These experiences strengthened my ability to build trust, foster resilience, and meet people where they are—without judgment.
Across every stage of my career, my approach has remained the same: to provide compassionate, individualized, and evidence-based care that honors each person's unique story. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting changes. Whether you are coping with grief, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or a major life transition, my goal is to help you discover your strengths, build resilience, and move toward a life that feels more balanced, connected, and fulfilling.
Grief Support
Grief support offers a compassionate space to process loss, navigate difficult emotions, and adjust to life changes after the death of a loved one or other significant losses. This includes the loss of a pet- our beloved pets are our family also.
Anxiety Therapy
Anxiety therapy sessions provide a safe and supportive environment to help you manage symptoms of anxiety, identify triggers, and develop coping strategies. I use evidence-based practices to help you overcome anxiety and improve your mental well-being.
Depression Therapy
Depression therapy sessions focus on helping you manage symptoms of depression, identify negative thought patterns, and develop coping strategies.
Mindfulness Practices
Mindfulness sessions provide tools and techniques to help you develop a greater sense of awareness, reduce stress, and better regulate emotions.
