Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Crestwood, KY

Life brings joy as well as difficulty to every person regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or differed abilities. Sometimes people feel helpless to overcome what they don't understand or procrastinate making healthy changes. You are not alone, and you are not helpless or hopeless! I am here to help people through the uncertainties that life brings to us.

Do you need help with your anxiety or depression? Are you feeling sadness, fear, anger, stress, worry? Is it hard to get through the day? Are you being bullied? Do you wish you had closer relationships? Do you have long standing problems that just seem to never get better? Do you have a hard time telling people “no”? Do you wish you stood up for yourself better? Do you need to feel better about yourself? Do you need a better life balance?

Often, seeking guidance from an unbiased and outside source can be a vital key to personal progression. As a therapist, I want to maintain an open and honest dialogue with my clients that assists them in creating positive change in their marriages, families and individual lives. Having someone hold you accountable, as you take the necessary steps to correct unhealthy patterns, can be crucial to success. Too often, individuals choose to remain victims of their circumstances, rather than proactively changing their mindset, and becoming victors. I seek to empower clients through uncovering what may be hindering their growth.

Do you or your child often struggle to express and regulate emotions when stressed? Have you ever felt like the tasks in everyday life can be overwhelming and impossible?

The challenges and stressors in life can often leave us feeling on edge and burnt out — I am here to help you on your journey to finding inner joy, growth in self identity, and coping with the ups and downs of life.

I have many years of experience working with early childhood trauma and severe, persistent mental illness, varying from ages of 5 years to 70+. My goal is to empower and advocate for positive change within you, as the individual, and the system as a whole. The place that we will create together is a safe and judgement free space. I work through an Existential foundation, to help those I work with seek meaning and purpose, with skills built from experience with Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy, all within the context of a trauma-informed approach.

I enjoy working with couples, teens and adults. Using a gentle, yet direct approach, I work collaboratively with you to empower you to make positive changes in your life. Whether you are struggling with relationships, communication, depression or anxiety, I can help you identify barriers and provide you with the tools needed to successfully progress towards living a more rewarding life. Through a collaborative therapeutic process, I provide support as you work to develop coping and communication skills that lead to establishing healthier relationships and improvement of symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Do you feel sad, worried, or unsatisfied and not sure why? Does your body feel tired or stressed?

All of us face thoughts and transitions like this; you are not alone. I'm here to help you manage these moments, helping you find direction, make decisions, and feel mental, physical and spiritual peace again.
