“I serve as a therapist at Reclaim Recovery Louisville. The greatest blessing of this job is being in a position to help foster healing in folks who have been through traumatic and stressful experiences. 

People with addictions are just that - people. And they deserve the highest standard of care possible. In a world that tends to turn their heads away from folks in addiction, I hope to provide a space that allows my clients to be seen, heard, and listened to. 

My dream has always been to work somewhere that clients are treated as more than just a number. I am living this dream and am so thankful to be able to work in an environment that’s different on purpose! I have struggled with my own mental health for several years and have experienced dark times. 

I am familiar with the feelings of loneliness, hopelessness, and despair. I chose to become a therapist to give back to the industry that helped restore hope, peace, and gratitude in my life. 

I aim to create an environment that is healing and comfortable for our clients, as well as a space where individuals feel free to be nothing other than themselves. 

I believe that everyone deserves the chance to heal and learn to give themselves grace, as well as have their story be heard. I am a life-long learner and strive to grow and learn about substance use, trauma, and mental illness daily so that I may be a source of positive change and hope for every individual who walks through our doors. 

My educational background includes a B.A. in Public Health and a M.Ed in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Louisville in Louisville, KY. My degree in public health introduced me to the ways our systems have failed folks, particularly people in active addiction. 

I chose to pursue a master’s degree in counseling to help remove the barriers that prevent individuals from thriving, and advocate for change to create a society where healing is possible.”
