I believe everyone deserves to feel healthy, balanced, and fulfilled. I provide a supportive, confidential space for individuals and couples to explore their mental and emotional well-being.

As a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I offer a holistic approach to care—integrating therapy with medication management when appropriate to support the whole person.

With over 11 years of healthcare experience across a variety of settings, I bring both clinical expertise and a compassionate, patient-centered approach to treatment. Recognizing the growing need for mental health support, I pursued advanced training in psychiatric care to better serve individuals navigating stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life transitions.

My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered as you work toward meaningful, lasting change.

Therapist

Hi, I’m a therapist who believes healing doesn’t have to feel stiff, awkward, or like you’re sitting in a room being judged by someone holding a clipboard.

My style is warm, down-to-earth, and often sprinkled with humor—because sometimes we need to laugh so we don’t fall apart, and sometimes we just need to laugh while we’re putting ourselves back together.

I specialize in working with people who don’t fit neatly into one diagnostic box—folks with dual diagnoses, complex histories, depression that doesn’t budge easily, and the “I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help” crowd. If you’ve been called “a lot,” “too much,” or “hard to treat,” you’re exactly my kind of person.

What therapy with me feels like:

Safe, supportive, and human—not clinical and cold

A place where you can be messy, honest, sarcastic, or quiet

Collaborative, with plenty of gentle challenge when you need it

Rooted in evidence-based strategies, but delivered in a way that feels real and doable

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lexington

Finding the right therapist in Lexington starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. Common reasons people seek therapy in Lexington include anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Whether you're looking for a licensed professional counselor (LPC), a clinical social worker (LCSW), or a psychologist, choosing a provider who specializes in your specific concerns can make a meaningful difference. Reading a provider's bio is one of the best ways to understand their approach and decide if they might be a good match.

Lexington has a range of mental health providers offering both in-person and virtual sessions, giving you flexibility based on your schedule and preferences. Practical factors like appointment availability, session format, and location within the Lexington area are worth considering as you narrow your options. A free phone consultation — offered by many providers — can help you get a sense of fit before committing to a first session.

Therapy in Lexington can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see an estimated session cost before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
