Great to meet you!

I have been married for 37 years and have four children, one grandchild, and three dogs. I am a miracle cancer survivor. I retired from being the Chief Student Support Officer with Fayette County Schools in Lexington, KY. I have three master's degrees. I have been involved in clinical work since 1998, holding various roles, including outpatient, inpatient, Crisis Stabilization, and Emergency Room Level of Care Assessment. I collect DC and Marvel decor. I love gardening. I am amazed how a little seed can grow into a plant and produce vegetables, with the process beginning again. I believe it is essential that a client become their own best advocate and strive to lead the happiest and healthiest life possible.

My approach to therapy

I am a firm believer that everyone needs a safe, confidential space to share their feelings and emotions. I am very much a listener and want you to cultivate the best possible recipe so you can live a happy, healthy life. It's not always about a cure. It is about learning to manage one's life.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to be heard and validated. They will have a safe and confidential space to discuss anything they would like. We will work on coping and management skills to help one live the happiest and healthiest life possible. I am a firm believer that you must have a connection with your therapist, and if that does not happen with me, I want you to advocate for your mental health. I commit to helping you find someone who better fits your needs.
