Everyone deserves to feel connection and joy.

Do you or your child struggle with anxiety, regulating your emotions, trauma, grief, or a loss of a sense of who you are that is affecting your relationships and/or your ability to function? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and frustrated with getting through the day. Do you feel you have put in the work to heal, but there is no light at the end of the tunnel?

I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live joyfully. I have offered mind/body therapies for over 15 yrs and became a licensed therapist to blend mind/body practices with talk therapy 2023. I am a KY Licensed Professional Counseling Associate and work under the clinical supervision of Erica Myers, LPCC-S, RPT-S. My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, non-judgmental, creative, and collaborative. I incorporate creative expression, play, somatic-focused work, and mindfulness with my clients.

I start by understanding your story to create a holistic plan to achieve your goals so that you and/or your child can be seen & heard. I take a neurodiversity-affirming focus with neurodivergent clients to reduce rejection sensitivity dysphoria symptoms and focus on personal strengths to thrive. I am AutPlay certified.

I strongly believe that humans have the capacity to use their personal strengths to resolve problems and heal from traumatic and stressful experiences.  Every person is different and should be honored for their unique qualities and abilities. I prefer to work holistically with each client using creative interventions that are unique to their story.
