I earned both my Undergraduate and Graduate education at The University of Kentucky. I completed training toward my LCSW license at a state Psychiatric Institution. I have three years of intensive training and a graduate certificate in Advanced Psychodynamic Psychotherapy through The Wayne Institute and The Cincinnati Psychoanalytic Institute. I have a strong interest in working towards a deep connection with my clients and helping them gain a greater understanding of self. I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, a modality that utilizes Rapid Eye Movements to treat trauma with very effective results. Mindfulness Practices, along with my own experience in therapy, have left me with a passion that I enjoy sharing with others.

Being a human in this world can be so difficult and confusing! I love to help people become a version of themselves they can feel good about.  If we are not clear on what our personal values and goals are, we can end up feeling lost with no direction. My training helps me to help people gain insight into the ways their past experiences have shaped their present. The process of changing and doing things differently often involves working through difficult feelings such as grief, shame, and regret; no one should have to deal with these feelings alone. The better we understand ourselves, the more empowered we are to take control of our lives and become our most authentic selves. I am here to provide a safe space and to create the conditions necessary for healing and lasting change. My approach is eclectic; psychodynamic & person-centered informed by feminist & existential theories. I frequently work with autistic folks, LGBTQIA+ folks, trauma/dissociative disorders, and identity/existential issues.

I’m committed to helping individuals and couples learn how to build healthier relationships with themselves and with others. Our unconscious and conscious behaviors impact our relationships, the way we interact with others, and how we exist in the world. My strength lies in fostering a safe space that encourages self-awareness of behaviors through self-exploration and curiosity. I help individuals uncover deep-rooted patterns and explore the unconscious mind. I offer a safe and supportive environment for clients to delve into their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. My goal is to help you feel supported and empowered to make decisions that improve your quality of life.

I help people cultivate a better understanding of their relationship with themselves and others. Whether you are coming in for relational issues, grief, burnout, career change, transitions to/from college, or self-discovery; I take pride in providing an open and inclusive space for all identities. Whatever the problem, you don't have to face it alone. Before becoming a therapist, I have over 7 years of experience working as a healthcare professional. During this time, I learned the value of being an accepting and affirming provider. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Kentucky and my graduate degree from the Graduate School of Social Work at the University of Denver. During my time at the University of Denver, I trained at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in the OCD program utilizing evidence-based treatments to treat OCD and anxiety. I am trained in a variety of evidence-based approaches and committed to life-long learning to improve client outcomes. I acknowledge that finding a therapist can be hard, and it can be the greatest investment of your life once you find the right fit. I strive to create a space where you feel fully accepted and empowered.
