Welcome!
I am located at 11603 Shelbyville Rd., Unit 2 Middletown
I offer individual adult sessions, group work, intensive work (sessions that are longer than the typical 50-60 minute session), retreats, and IADC (Induced After Death Communication-a variation of the EMDR protocol that may connect you with a deceased loved one and helps reduce the trauma from their passing).
In our work together we will be uncovering your strengths as well as pain points to begin your healing journey. You are the expert on you and I am here to listen and be a guide who walks alongside you as you heal yourself. My education and years of experience working in the healing profession has taught me that everyone has their own personal inner guidance. My job as a healer who uses my education, experience and intuition is to assist you to tune back into your own inner guidance.
I am a trained psychotherapist with a degree in Social Work (Licensed Clinical Social Worker). In my psychotherapy practice I bring the values of Social Work to my practice (service, social justice, dignity and worth of the person, importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence). I use various techniques such as Ego State Work (we are all made up of different parts), Mindfulness (being present in the moment), Somatic approach (listening to your body for its feedback), Meditation, Visualization, CBT and EMDR. I am also an Integrative Mental Health Professional. What does that mean? That means that I look at you as a holistic being in a complicated system. You have a mind, body and spirit that need to be in balance in order to have healthy mental functioning. Your physical and spiritual health are important pieces of the healing puzzle. Please see the Integrative Mental Health tab under menu for more information.
In whatever capacity in which you choose, we will discuss your current concerns/challenges and determine a plan for healing together. In psychotherapy we examine the past in order to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep repeating themselves or blocking our healing. We go inside to explore the body, mind, and spirit's feedback to our daily interactions, habits and functioning. The process of healing can be uncomfortable and takes time.
As a therapist I strive to be culturally competent, trauma informed and professional. Feedback is always welcome because we are working together on your healing as a team. My hope is that in our work together will provide a safe environment for you to express what is working for you and what is not. Your therapeutic relationship with me should be a practice ground for you to feel safe to explore ideas and feelings, have boundaries, express your feelings, and be in a curiosity provoking, non-judgmental environment in order for you to carry that outside of my office and into your life. Keeping all of this in mind, working with a healer of any kind can also begin to set off discomfort because beginning this journey brings up old wounds, triggers, and defenses. Making changes in your life can be hard, but extremely rewarding. If you work with me you will find out that I am a good mixture of loving, laughing and directness. I try to remember to ask at the end of any session if what we have done has been helpful. If you work with me I ask that you be truthful with me about how you feel about our work together.
I am not a fit for everyone and that is quite alright! My Grandma used to say, "It takes all kinds to make the world go 'round." I cannot guarantee that my approach is the best fit for you or that my personality will be good match for yours, but I will work my hardest to ensure you are getting what you need from me if we mutually decide we are a good fit. If we are not a good fit I will do my best to provide you with a referral that is more suitable to your needs and there are absolutely no hard feelings. I am just one piece of your road to healing whether we spend one session together or many.
I do take insurance for my psychotherapy practice, but I also accept self pay. I am on the following insurance panels: Aetna, and Cigna. I accept cash, checks, and credit cards as well as FSAs or HSAs.
You can contact me via phone (call or text) at 502-594-9215 or email at [email protected]. Usually the fastest way to get in touch with me is text. My email box tends to be overrun and I have a harder time keeping up with it. If you email me and don't hear back, please just text me. I have a busy practice, I am Mother to three amazing children, and work hard to have fun as well. I usually have my phone with me, so I will see your text first. Also, please know that I will try my hardest to get back with you in a timely manner. I spend my time in session, with my family, or having much needed self care time. Please do not hesitate to contact me regarding insurance, pricing questions, or just my practice in general. I would love to answer any questions you have!
