About Jenn

My Background

I am originally from Paducah, Kentucky, and completed my bachelor’s degree from Eastern Kentucky University. I went on to get my Master of Science in Social Work from the Univerity of Louisville. I am a dual-licensed therapist as both a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have experience in residential, inpatient, and outpatient services. I worked in community mental health for years as both a therapist and a clinical manager. I currently also work as a clinical supervisor and billing supervisor for a methadone treatment facility in Kentucky. I began RCC to work with women struggling with inadequate coping skills to navigate and achieve their goals. 

My Approach & Philosophy

• I have a deep love for comfy clothing and aims to be as comfortable as possible all day long. 
• I do my best work with clients who love to laugh and enjoy a professional level of sarcasm….or maybe just sarcasm in general

• I believe in individualized treatment to meet the client’s needs not the client needing to meet the treatment requirements.  
• I believe that addiction is not a moral failure but instead a maladaptive coping strategy that is being used to solve for an underlying issue such as trauma, anxiety, or depression. 
• I believe in harm reduction models of treatment both with mental health and susbtance use treatment. 

Fun Facts

• I eat ice cream all year long and have had my husband get out in a snow storm just to get me some Denali Mint Moose Tracks… Don’t worry he didn’t get hurt! 
• I have become a mother through adoption and am a foster mother as well.

• Baking and cooking are my favorite ways of relieving stress and calming me down.
• I love skylines and am so glad I live near two beautiful ones in Louisville and Cincinnati
• I am currently working on my doctorate
