About me and my practice
I am a Licensed Psychologist, with 20 years of experience providing psychological services. I believe the most important factor for a successful therapeutic experience is one in which the client feels cared for and heard and I work to provide a positive psychotherapeutic experience for my clients. I describe what I do as helping clients understand why they think, feel, and behave they way they do. After clients gain a greater understanding of themselves and their motives, they are able to more critically evaluate what they can control. I strive to empower clients to change their lives and improve their well-being helping them focus their energy on strategies to address what can be changed and re-conceptualizing what can not be changed.
I have a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Kentucky. I implement a cognitive therapeutic approach integrating interpersonal strategies and techniques. I primarily work with individual adults and also work with couples and families. Common issues that I treat are:
I have a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Kentucky. I implement a cognitive therapeutic approach integrating interpersonal strategies and techniques. I primarily work with individual adults and also work with couples and families. Common issues that I treat are:
-Depression
-Anxiety
-Family Strife
-Those with family members struggling with addiction and substance abuse issues
-Codependence
-Issues in Relationships/unsatisfying relationships
-Women's Issues
-Parental Issues
-Career Change/Dissatisfaction
-Low Self-esteem
-Grief/Loss
I treat individuals who are relatively stable but need additional support and guidance to manage stress, transitions, relationships, anxiety, and/or depression. I do not provide emergency or after hours services so if you anticipate having urgent needs or immediate crisis management, I suggest you reach out to a provider or practitioner who can provide more intensive services and be more available to meet your needs. If you are experiencing active suicidal thoughts or feel at risk of hurting yourself or someone else, please call 911 immediately.
I do not work with children or teenagers on an individual basis though I will see youth when they are part of a family in family therapy. Providing individual psychotherapeutic services to youth requires a special skillset. My areas of study and training concentration to date have not included a focus in working with youth except within a relationship context, such as family counseling or parent-child counseling. If you are looking for a therapist for your child, I highly recommend Beaumont Behavioral Health, a mental health practice in the Beaumont area of Lexington. I worked with this practice for nearly three years and have a great deal of respect for the practitioners working in the office. Beaumont Behavioral Health has service providers from many backgrounds to offer comprehensive services for a young person.
