I've known I wanted to be a psychologist, since I was 10-years-old. I loved learning and loved school, seriously. (If I could get paid to go to school, I'd probably be a professional student on the side).

 

I believe it is important to have a well-rounded work history in order to better understand and help my clients. Thus, I've worked in a variety of settings such as community mental health, school-based, inpatient, outpatient, residential, and primary care/OB-GYN. Populations I've worked with include the lifespan from toddlers to geriatrics. 

​

The majority of the work I do is based in solution-focused brief therapy although I utilize techniques from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. The techniques I utilize with clients will depend on each client's specific need(s) and goal(s). 

​

My clinical interests include perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), multiracial identity development, sexual health awareness, anxiety, depression, and transitions in life stages and roles.

​

Currently, I am one of the few licensed psychologists in Kentucky and Ohio, who is certified in perinatal mental health (PMH-C). I have also received training in perinatal bereavement through Resolve Through Sharing. 

​

In addition to therapy, I began life coaching during the pandemic. However, I prefer to call it mentoring, as I believe the term mentoring better encompasses the nature of the relationship. I found some of my clients needed support through various life stages, transitions, and circumstances but did not meet criteria for a clinical diagnosis nor were they an appropriate candidate for traditional therapy. 

 

**I have experience working with those who identify as poly, KINK, and/or LGBTQ+. This is a safe space.
