Meet Kaleigh

While our therapeutic relationship will focus primarily on your exploration and healing, my own life experience will also be present. Indeed, our unique path as therapists informs our approach and belief system regarding the human experience. 

I attended a rigorous undergraduate program in Western Kentucky, providing a robust education in assessment, diagnosis, and human behavior. My graduate training differed from this in its prioritization of inherent wisdom, mindfulness, and the inclusion of all parts of a person in therapy—body, mind, and soul. This background has equipped me to work with various presentations and concerns with both a solid clinical foundation, and an openness to novel ways of meeting suffering and inviting change. 

Experiencing the illness and loss of both of my parents at a young age invited curiosity around transition, end of life matters, caregiving, and the fertile ground of grief. I’ve had the privilege of leading grief processing groups, and am a volunteer with Hospice. I’m also passionate about acknowledging the many forms of ‘invisible’ grief we encounter throughout life, and creating space to honor these pains in ways needed but often overlooked. 

There is a notion I often return to regarding the inability as guides to take others further than we’ve gone ourselves. Much of what I invite clients to consider or apply I’ve worked with myself. Because psychotherapeutic work is my greatest passion, I’m often engaged in external trainings with an unwavering desire to learn, and very much consider myself a student of life.

In my spare time, I enjoy writing creative nonfiction, photography, connecting with animals, and spending time outdoors with my horse, Chrome, and his herd.
