Counseling

“Tension is who you think you are. Relaxation is who you are.”

Welcome! 

Counseling in Kentucky
Life can feel overwhelming, and sometimes we all need a safe space to sort through challenges, reconnect with what matters most, and grow. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I specialize in wellness-focused counseling that helps Kentucky individuals, families, and partners navigate life’s complexities. Together, we’ll work to process difficult events, identify what’s holding you back, and create meaningful plans for change.

In our sessions, we might explore stress management, set priorities, develop life skills, or dive into mindfulness practices to support a balanced and fulfilling life. Whether you're focused on managing day-to-day stresses or seeking transformative growth, our work will be tailored to your unique needs. I collaborate with motivated, growth-oriented clients who are ready to gain clarity, take action, and cultivate a life rooted in wellness and wholeness.
