If you've been putting off therapy — telling yourself you'll handle it on your own, or that it's not for you — you're exactly who I'm glad to work with. I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 22 years of experience, and I help adults get to the root of what's actually going on and do something about it. Whether it's anxiety, depression, anger that's costing you, the weight of past trauma, stress that won't let up, or questions about identity and who you are, I'll meet you head-on and help you build a real way forward.

I work with a lot of men and people from diverse backgrounds who want a therapist they can be straight with — someone direct, who respects your time and helps you see results, not just talk in circles. That's the work I'm built for.

Psychologist

My mission is to remind others that the strength to rise after a fall already lives within them. Throughout my own journey, I’ve experienced many setbacks—moments when getting back up felt out of reach, and failure felt final. But over time, each fall revealed a lesson, and each step forward brought growth, clarity, and resilience. I possess a diverse clinical foundation, supporting individuals with developmental disorders, autism spectrum disorder, mood and personality disorders, depression, and anxiety. I’ve been honored to serve in multiple therapeutic roles, offering individual, couples, family, and group therapy to those seeking healing and meaningful change.

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 Mental Health Therapist in Kentucky

Searching for therapists in Kentucky starts with finding someone whose training and experience match what you want support with. Across the state, therapy needs and available therapists can vary between urban and rural areas, so it helps to narrow your search by concern, specialty, and care style. You might look for a therapist who works with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Location and format also matter when comparing Kentucky therapists. If you live near Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, or a smaller community, you may want to decide whether in-person sessions, virtual sessions, or a mix of both fits your schedule best. You can also compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before you book can help you understand how a therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.

The cost of mental health care in Kentucky varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process clearer by letting you enter your insurance details, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and find therapists who match your preferences. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your location and plan as you search. Browse therapists in Kentucky, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

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