Welcome, and thank you for reaching out.

Starting counseling is an important step, and I’m glad you’re here. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment.

I bring over 25 years of experience working with individuals and families. I am currently a university professor and have been in higher education for the past 16 years. Prior to that, I spent 10 years investigating child maltreatment, which gave me extensive experience supporting individuals and families through difficult and often overwhelming life circumstances.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Lexington, KY

Searching for family therapists in Lexington starts with finding someone trained to work with the family system, not only one person. Family therapy can support families navigating parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication breakdowns across generations, or major life changes. As you compare Lexington, KY therapists, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match what your family wants to address. Some marriage family therapists may also support family and marriage counseling, depending on their training and scope.

In a mid-size city like Lexington, your search may include therapists near downtown, Chevy Chase, or other nearby neighborhoods, along with virtual appointments across Kentucky. Some families prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual sessions to make it easier for multiple people to attend from different locations. Family therapy structure can also vary — sessions may include the full family, parents or caregivers, siblings, or individual family members. Before booking, read each therapist’s bio to see how they describe session structure, communication style, appointment availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Lexington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs for family counseling or marriage counseling in Lexington, KY. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you compare licensed therapists who are accepting new patients, review their bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
