I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with over a decade of experience in counseling individuals on their healing journey. I graduated from the University of Kentucky in 2012 with a Master's degree in Rehabilitation Counseling and have worked in many different settings including inpatient, residential, and outpatient treatment.

With a specialization in substance use and co-occurring disorders, I've had the privilege of assisting countless individuals in their goals of gaining and maintaining sobriety. In addition to my specialty in substance use, I work closely with the LGBTQIA+ community, offering a safe and affirming space for exploration and growth. I also specialize in eating disorders, ADD/ADHD, young adult life transitions, and navigating the complexities of the grieving process.

My approach pulls from many different areas, but it is fully collaborative, and I work together with each of my clients to develop a personal plan to address and cope with the concerns that bring them to therapy.
