I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Kentucky and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, with 15 years of experience. I also carry a Master of Divinity Degree from Cincinnati Bible Seminary in 2004 and a Master of Social Work in 2008.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I provide a holistic, strength-based, and solutions-oriented approach to help others and believe that no obstacle is too great to overcome.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
