Navigating life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face those challenges alone. As your therapist, I am here to provide the guidance and encouragement you need to move forward. I take a person-centered approach, meeting you where you are and working collaboratively to help you achieve your goals.
A native of Richmond, Kentucky, I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work from Western Kentucky University. My education, combined with hands-on experience, has equipped me with the skills to support individuals through life’s difficulties. With a background in crisis work, I understand the urgency and intensity of emotional distress. I use evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to support clients struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and more. I have worked with children, teens, adults, and families from diverse backgrounds, creating a space where everyone feels heard, valued, and understood.
My goal is to foster a warm, nonjudgmental, and safe environment where healing and growth can take place. I believe in the power of empathy and connection. Whether you’re facing everyday stressors, navigating a crisis, or working through past experiences. I am here to walk alongside you on your journey to healing. Let’s take the first step together- book a session with me today!

“As your therapist, I want to welcome you to our therapy space. I strive to provide you with a safe and compassionate environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. We will focus on cultivating self-compassion, an understanding approach towards yourself during times of struggle or difficulty. Together, we will work towards fostering a deeper sense of self. We will focus on key components like self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness. I believe in the value of shared human experiences. Therapeutic interventions may include and are not limited to guided meditation, cognitive reframing, and other creative expressive therapies. We will explore your experiences with warmth and empathy, fostering a deeper connection to your inner wisdom and resilience.
I am a native of Bowling Green, KY and earned my Master of Social Work degree at Western Kentucky University. I have been honored to work with a diverse population of children and adolescents, substance use, addiction recovery skills, relationship conflict, grief,
anxiety, depression, PTSD, individual and family therapy. My approach is informed by cultural understanding and a deep appreciation for the unique identities and perspectives each person holds as an individual. Together, we will explore your strengths, challenges, and aspirations in a culturally sensitive manner. I am here to support you on your journey towards healing and growth.”

“With experience in working with adolescents and adults, I have served eight years in the social work and mental health field. Throughout this time, I have served as a SOS monitor for Liberty Place Recovery Center for Women, a Social Service Worker for DCBS, a School Social Service Worker for Lincoln County Public Schools, and I currently serve as a District Mental Health Specialist for Fayette County Public Schools. Through these roles, I have been able to implement programs and services for the best interest of those whom I serve.
I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Eastern Kentucky University in 2014, and received my Master's Degree in Social Work from Campbellsville University, in 2019. My education and background have helped me broaden my knowledge in providing research-based interventions that have proven to be effective in the broad demographics in which I serve. I am experienced in motivational interviewing, CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Psychoeducation, and Play therapy. I have treated individuals with anxiety, depression, gender dysphoria, PTSD, domestic violence survivors, neglected children, refugees, low-self esteem, substance abuse, and divorced families. My goal is to meet each client where they are, help them explore their best selves, achieve their goals, and identify their strengths.”
