Are you ready to GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY? And enjoy yourself while doing so? If so please click underneath and let's get to work! I am also trained in EMDR! (If you don't know what this is please ask!)
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor- Supervisor located in Kentucky taking on BetterHelp. I have been in correctional counseling for 8 years. I am now a program director for 2 substance abuse programs located at a local jail for those who are incarcerated, have felony convictions, and can admit to a substance use disorder. I have over 8 years of experience counseling individuals and groups. Over the years I have helped people who struggle with symptoms of depression, anxiety, fear, paranoia, and distrust in general. I have helped individuals with Major Depressive disorders, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia disorders, Adjustment disorders, Attachment disorders, a variety of Personality disorders, and Co-Occurring Disorders.
I have experience mostly with substance abuse and co-occurring disorders-- but this has blossomed in the past years to a better understanding of individuals who just feel "stuck" and even at points "helpless" or "hopeless" and drugs were just their way out they felt at the time. I have experience in working with Mothers who are working on particular character patterns that have resulted in negative consequences in the past--including loss of rights-- to improve/create attitudes and behaviors that can improve not only their lives, but also provides for reunification in the future. I also have worked hard over the years to develop many resources to advocate for individuals.
I am a counselor who prides myself on this work as I have also been in the dark and realized my own light. I can testify that being in Recovery from both a mental disorder and addiction is the best choice I've ever made. I will candidly admit that if you would like to "work hard", enjoy yourself while "working", and get through some of the toughest areas of your life I would LOVE to work with you. I am a counselor who believes in earning your respect through holding you accountable, playing your "Devil's advocate", and challenging your own thought processes to help build self-esteem and help you to like I said before GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
