Great to meet you!

I’m a proud mom of three amazing kids who keep me grounded and remind me of what truly matters. I love spending time with family and friends—playing board games, baking sweet treats, and sharing lots of laughter (often at my own expense!). My faith in Christ is an important part of who I am and guides how I show up for others.

I’ve served my country as a Soldier for over 23 years, which has shaped me into someone who is empathetic, open-minded, and accepting of others. I hold a Master of Social Work from Campbellsville University, and while much of my work has focused on addiction counseling, I also support clients working through trauma, depression, and anxiety.

My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, understanding space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported.

My approach to therapy

I believe our minds and bodies are incredibly resilient and capable of healing. With the right mindset and support, we can overcome challenges and grow in meaningful ways. My approach is honest, caring, and focused on your goals.

In our sessions, we’ll work together to better understand your thoughts and emotions, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools and insights that support lasting well-being. My hope is to create a space where you feel supported, encouraged, and confident in your ability to create positive change.

What you can expect from me

You can expect a warm and welcoming space where you’re free to ask questions and get a feel for whether we’re a good fit. Our first session is about getting to know you—your story, your goals, and what you hope to gain from therapy. Together, we’ll start to build a sense of direction and purpose for our work. You can also expect to learn, reflect, and leave with a clearer understanding of the path ahead. All sessions are held virtually to offer comfort, flexibility, and convenience.
