I work with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling to navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, and emotional burnout. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking relief from difficult emotions, healthier relationships, greater self-confidence, or support through a challenging season of life. Using a compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based approach, I help clients build coping skills, gain insight into unhelpful patterns, heal from past experiences, and create meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you feel more empowered, resilient, and connected to the life you want to live.

You don't have to keep carrying the weight of what happened to you. Healing is possible.

Hi, I'm Rachel, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in helping adults heal from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and the lasting effects of difficult life experiences.

Many of my clients come to me feeling exhausted. They've spent years trying to push through painful memories, quiet their anxiety, or make sense of experiences that continue to affect their relationships, confidence, sleep, or ability to feel like themselves. Some have tried therapy before but still feel stuck. Others have never talked about what happened because it simply felt too overwhelming.

Wherever you are in your journey, you don't have to face it alone.

As a therapist trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART®), I offer an evidence-based approach that can help reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories—often in fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy. One of the things many clients appreciate most about ART® is that you don't have to describe every painful detail of your trauma to experience meaningful healing. Together, we'll work toward helping you feel less overwhelmed by the past so you can be more present in your life today.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. My style is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where healing can happen at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Imagine waking up without constantly feeling on edge. Imagine memories no longer having the same emotional grip on you. Imagine feeling more like yourself again. That kind of change is possible, and it would be an honor to help you get there.

If you're ready to begin your healing journey, I'd love to walk alongside you.

Hi, I’m Caitlin. I live in the beautiful Appalachian mountains of eastern Kentucky with my family.

I have enjoyed being an independently licensed clinical social worker for several years and am honored you are checking out my profile!

It is always so impressive to me when people have the courage to reach out for help. Life can be overwhelming, confusing, or heavier than it should and you’re not alone. You might be dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, or identity-related challenges, and finding it hard to make sense of what you’re feeling or how to move forward. Many of the people I work with are used to pushing through and handling things on their own, but eventually feel emotionally drained, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, identity exploration, relationship stress, life transitions, grief and loss, ADHD, OCD, and women’s issues. Together, we’ll create space to slow things down, better understand your experiences, and begin building a clearer, more grounded path forward that feels aligned with who you are and what you need.
