NOW OFFERING TELEHEALTH

My journey into the field of mental health and advocacy has been both personal and professional, deeply rooted in a passion for supporting law enforcement (LE) personnel and their families. With a foundation of academic excellence and dedicated research, I bring a unique blend of expertise and empathy to my practice.

Education and Professional Background
I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Campbellsville University, which laid the groundwork for my certification as a Certified Social Worker (CSW). Furthering my commitment to understanding the intricacies of human behavior within societal structures, I pursued and obtained a Master of Arts in Criminology from Western Kentucky University (WKU). Throughout my academic career, I have been steadfast in my focus on research dedicated to the mental health of law enforcement personnel. This unwavering interest, though it may have challenged my educators who wished for a broader range of topics from me, has deeply enriched my understanding and expertise in this area.

Advocacy and Leadership
My advocacy work has led me to contribute to legislation regarding law enforcement mental health, underscoring my commitment to creating systemic changes that support the well-being of those who serve and protect our communities. Additionally, I am the proud founder of the Police Wives of Kentucky, an organization that I have led for over a decade. Through this platform, I have spearheaded various statewide missions and advocacy projects aimed at supporting law enforcement families across Kentucky.

Personal Journey
On a personal note, I have been married since 2005 to a combat army veteran who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom (2007-2008) and transitioned to a law enforcement career in 2009. His experiences, serving in both city and county agencies, have provided me with intimate insights into the challenges faced by law enforcement personnel and their loved ones. Together, we are parents to three children, and our journey has been marked by both joy and loss, including the miscarriage of twins. These experiences have not only shaped me as a person but have also deepened my empathy and understanding as a therapist.

My professional background is complemented by hands-on experience in community mental health and case management. This practical experience has equipped me with the skills to offer comprehensive support to individuals and families navigating the complexities of mental health challenges.

My Approach
As a therapist, I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and understanding environment for my clients. I draw on my rich blend of academic knowledge, professional experience, and personal empathy to offer tailored support that meets the unique needs of each individual and family I work with. Whether you are a law enforcement officer, a family member of someone in the service, or anyone seeking support, I am here to help you on your journey towards healing and resilience.
