Hello!  I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years experience providing mental health services to individuals of all ages, couples, and families.  I believe that by providing support and practical feedback, clients will feel empowered to effectively address life’s tough challenges.  I believe that facilitating the individual discovery of personal strengths, encourages individuals to work towards attaining their own personal growth and understanding of their path and direction. I believe change happens when people are given the guidance needed to draw on their own strengths and realize their potential. I strive to provide an environment of compassion and support to help individuals, couples, and families overcome obstacles in order to move forward and thrive on their life journey.

​

My experience includes working in many different therapist roles, with all ages and in various settings.  I have successfully worked with children, adolescents, adults and families in both inpatient and outpatient settings, providing therapy for a variety of mental health and substance abuse related concerns. 

​

I have extensive experience working with individuals struggling with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder and Attachment Disorders. 

In addition, I spent 10 years providing individual and group therapy to individuals struggling with self-esteem issues, self-harming behaviors, and anger management concerns.  My approach includes the use of emotional regulation, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, conflict resolution and crisis intervention techniques and interventions.

​

I obtained my Master of Social Work degree at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, KY, and my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, KY.
