How does Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) work?

Hello, I have been a practicing clinician since 2012 working with many individuals seeking a life of peace and emotional stability. Addiction, trauma and sexual compulsivity are my areas of specialty both individual and within family systems. I’m my practice I use both SE and EMDR that is customized for each person. I seek to assist you in a path of a life more fulfilled and peaceful 

Gamer therapist happy to help with anxiety, gender ID, sexual ID, and trauma!

My philosophy for life and counseling is simple: each person is entirely unique and therefore invaluable. I believe that it is human nature to be imperfect and that this is a wonderful thing. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found my passion in helping others gain a sense of self-worth and empowerment that will allow them to live the life that they want to live.

It may not feel like it yet, but even through taking these steps, you are making progress! Steady progress is what I work with individuals to achieve through several treatment methods. The approaches that we use may be different for each person, but my hope for each client is that they reach three things: a sense of understanding, a route to self-acceptance/inner peace, and productivity toward reaching their deepest desires. I am a licensed mental health therapist in Kentucky and Indiana. I was born and raised in a city-setting (Louisville, KY), but spent time learning and working in a rural community as a graduate of Western Kentucky University. My counseling style is nurturing but practical. My hope is that with the end of each session, you will feel understood and motivated, and will have a plan of action to work toward your goals. Some of my favorite treatment modalities include solution-focused, narrative, CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing. I have an open door to all races, religions, ideologies, and sexual-orientations. My specialties include substance abuse treatment, anxiety, stress, anger management, relationship issues, race/discrimination-related issues, life changes, and parenting issues. When I am not working in the role of therapist, I covet time spent with my husband and four kiddos. If you are ready to move forward toward better understanding yourself, your issues, and your solutions, lets get started! Don't wait another day to start working toward the way of life that you deserve.

Hello & Welcome! I enjoy supporting adolescent, children, young adult and adult ages experiencing a difficult time with their emotions impacted by daily life stressors, challenges in relationship(s)/communication, and/or difficulty adjusting to new/unexpected life situations. I am able to support both in-person and telehealth appointments.

Like many therapist profiles, this page could list my degrees and credentials, provide a vague description of what clients I work with, and be distant but warm; however, that is not how I work with clients or how I am in the world. I want this page to help you decide if we’ll work well together, not just list the things I’ve done. What you probably want to know is 1) do I know what I’m doing and 2) are we a good fit in working together. I have been working in the mental health field, specifically with eating disorders, since 2014 in a variety of capacities including inpatient, residential, and crisis stabilization programs. I am passionate about eating disorder recovery and collaborating with patients to find balance in their lives. I am body-positive and Health at Every Size (HAES) aligned. I have experience in working with families, couples, and individuals in addition to facilitating group therapy. My primary focus lies in helping to support clients and their loved ones in understanding and moving forward in the path to recovery through individual and family therapy. I have earned the distinction of being a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) by the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals, and have been an officeholder for the Heartland chapter of iaedp since 2019 and remained committed to pursuing ongoing education within the field. There are so many people who hesitate to come to therapy or to move forward in eating disorder recovery due to having been previously unsuccessful with a “one size fits all” approach. I work with you to figure it out. I’m not a smile-and-nod, sit in silence type of therapist. I'll call you out on your BS, but I can do that in a way where we can both laugh. I'm not afraid to talk about anything you need to talk about. Intrusive thoughts? Feeling like you’re the only person to feel this way? You’d be surprised to find that you’re not alone. Therapy will provide a safe space to be yourself and a supportive environment to help meet you where you’re at and work towards creating lasting change in your life.

Hello, I am a licensed Mental health counselor with 20+ experience in the field of psychology. Experience has included working with adults, children, adolescents and family. I am available to guide and support you in exploring life's challenges and together explore vulnerabilities and strengths in facing said challenges. My approach in sessions is very laid back yet focused on each person's need for different levels of guidance in meeting their goals. I use various approaches and styles given the circumstances and individual needs. It is very important for you to feel comfortable with the process, that being said, I will not go to a place you do not want to go...It is a privilege to embark on your counseling journey with you.

I strive to be an authentic person that listens without judgement and will do my best to give you a new perspective on any problems or issues that stand in your way on your journey to wellness. Additionally, I am a divorced mom of two adult children and I have been through the therapeutic process myself, so I know how hard it can be to make this first step. Please reach out if you have more questions or would like to set up an appointment.
