Therapists in Lexington, KY

Hello; and welcome to my page on TalkSpace! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with several years of experience providing clinical services to clients. I have experience with clients aged from 6 to 64. I see clients presenting with a wide range of issues from anxiety; depression; PTSD; personality disorders; low self-esteem; marriage struggles; work place stress; and grief. I look forward to becoming an added support for you while we work through these struggles together!

My focus is on the specific needs of my clients rather than specific treatment modalities. My ideal client is someone who desires change. Whether the desired change involves thoughts; emotions; and or behaviors; support and empowerment can provide the inspiration needed to evolve. I believe that the therapeutic process is most effective when individuals process and work at their own pace. The therapeutic relationship provides an arena for individuals to explore their thoughts and emotions without the fear of judgment. I thrive to encourage and empower my clients to achieve their highest possible quality of life.

I focus on providing clients with respect; empathy; and a collaborative relationship in regards to their treatment with me.I am trained and use an eclectic approach that entails cognitive behavioral therapy; trauma focused therapy; mindfulness based cognitive therapy; and integrative therapy.My focus is to help an individual any way possible and within reason. If I do not understand or connect with an issue my client is facing at that time; I will always ask for clarity to provide the best possible suggestions based on them providing further information.

I specialize in addiction and trauma with nearly 10 years of experience in the field of mental health and substance use; I have been clinically credentialed for 5 years. I am an integrative counselor; utilizing Person-Centered Therapy as the primary modality; along with other specialties. Throughout the therapy process; I work with clients using an on-going treatment plan dependent on presenting issues. I believe that we all have the solution to our issues within us. With encourage and unconditional positive regard my goal is to create a safe and welcoming space for the development of positive solutions.

In my therapy practice; I work to create a space where clients feel accepted and free to express themselves. I work with clients to help empower them in their lives; to promote healthy relationships and to build resiliency for all of life’s changes. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them develop insight to achieve their goals. It is important to me that my relationship with clients is built upon trust and that what is important to them is the focus of their time in therapy.
