About

Are you feeling stuck? Are you having trouble reaching your goals, or even figuring out what your goals are? Do you struggle to make meaningful, lasting changes in your life? If you’re ready to get a fresh perspective and tap into the strengths you already possess, I would love to work with you. I believe that you are the expert on your own life and are filled with your own wisdom – sometimes you just need help accessing it.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Kentucky and have spent my career working with people who are struggling with a wide variety of problems, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, personality disorders, and addictions. I especially enjoy working with LGBTQ clients, who tend to appreciate the fact that they don’t have to educate me about the daily realities of their lives.

I take a non-judgmental and open-minded approach to all my clients, no matter the kind of problem they’re struggling with. I tailor my interventions to meet the needs of each client, but my overall approach tends to combine cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic therapies, with a pinch of existentialism to tie it all together.

The core beliefs that guide me as a therapist are:

• We may not be responsible for the things that have happened to us, but we are always responsible for figuring out how to deal with them.
• Our interpretations of events (the stories we tell ourselves) are often what cause us problems, not the events themselves.
• Changing our thinking can change our behavior, and vice versa.
• Sometimes our actions are driven by factors outside our consciousness, and exposing these dynamics can help us regain control.

If my approach sounds like it might be able to help you live the life you want to live, I look forward to hearing from you!
