As a licensed therapist serving Kentucky, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on addressing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions with a compassionate, faith-informed approach. I work closely with young adults and individuals experiencing workplace stress, social anxiety, and personal growth challenges.
My therapeutic style emphasizes understanding individual experiences, helping clients develop meaningful coping strategies and explore personal purpose. I provide a supportive environment where clients can address communication difficulties, manage interpersonal dynamics, and work through feelings of isolation or shame.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I aim to empower clients in their journey toward emotional wellness, personal resilience, and authentic self-understanding. Whether you're confronting life changes, relationship issues, or seeking deeper personal insights, I'm committed to walking alongside you with respect and professional guidance.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
