Therapist

My journey stems from my own story of resilience in the face of hardships. I became a therapist because I have always wanted to help people through some of their darkest hours. Being exposed to some dark hours myself, I know that it is difficult to do it alone. When you have someone to confide in, assist you through the hard times, and just let you know that you are not alone, makes a difference.

My therapeutic approach includes CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, Relational Therapy, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, SFT, EMT, Gestalt, and just speaking like a human being. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported. My approach is relational and personalized—we'll explore your story together, build coping tools, and move toward healing with curiosity, courage, and care.

Therapy with me is real, down-to-earth, and never boring. I mix honesty, humor, and heart to make the process comfortable. I help adults manage emotions, build confidence, and tackle life's challenges with tools that work. Think of it as a safe space to be yourself, grow, and maybe laugh along the way.

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

One of my favorite quotes is, "Knowing yourself is the beginning of all Wisdom" by Aristotle and "The Purpose of Psychotherapy is to set people Free" by Rollo May, these quotes are certainly true when choosing psychotherapy. I understand that finding the right therapist is a individual and unique decision that begins by looking at your own needs and preferences. Challenges are a normal part of living and overcoming these challenges means we sometimes need to take a path of looking within and choose personal growth. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Behavior Analyst. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor's in Communication from Spalding University, a Master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis from Spalding University, and a second Master's degree in Marriage & Family Therapy from Campbellsville University. I am a EMDR Therapist and a Certified Havening Techniques Practitioner.
