Strength-Based Therapists in Jeffersontown, KY

I strive to provide the highest possible quality mental health care services at affordable rates. I use an eclectic, strength-based approach when working with clients. I take the time to get to know clients very well, and then choose the best approach from therapies such as client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and reality therapy. I believe the relationship between the therapist and client is one of the most important elements in therapy.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist. I partner with individuals and families in the therapeutic process. As a collaborative therapist I believe that judgments are for courtrooms, and that no one has to do it all alone. My therapeutic approach is relationship based and person-centered. This relationship is a partnership with the purpose of engaging in conversations to reach a deeper understanding and encourage growth and change. Maybe you have a difficult child or you're grieving a loss. Whether your struggle is depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, addictive tendencies, resurfacing childhood trauma, etc., there can be relief.

Now accepting new clients! In my practice, I work with individuals across different age groups, including children, adolescents, and adults. My primary goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where you can freely explore your experiences and emotions. Through a collaborative approach, I aim to empower you to achieve your goals and promote your overall well-being. I offer guidance and support to those seeking to improve their coping skills, address past or present experiences, prioritize self-care, manage mental health concerns, or navigate LGBTQ+ issues.

When faced with life challenges we can often feel alone and misunderstood. I strive to make people feel heard and validated in their experiences. The relationship between you and I can be one of the most foundational elements to change by providing you with a safe place that is nonjudgmental, empathetic, and honest. It can be difficult navigating our mental and emotional processes and responses, and our social environments. My goal is to help you explore and overcome your challenges, and empower you to make change.

I am a Licensed Art Therapist who believes in the power of the therapeutic relationship to facilitate change. My therapeutic approach is integrative, using strength based, client-centered, and holistic practices. As an art therapist, clients have the option to engage in art therapy. No experience with art required. The creative process, artwork, and discussion provides an opportunity to integrate fractured pieces of the mind, body, and spirit.

My focus is to help clients find hope again and heal with peace in their minds. Depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, trauma and relationship issues can hinder your growth and success.

We will work together and customize a treatment plan that fits your personal therapy goals.

Anxiety has hijacked your life. You’re really good at imagining the worst case scenario. Your mind is excellent at anticipating the future, and at replaying things that have already happened. You question whether you are good enough and often feel self-conscious. You overthink everything. And your body buys in to this story – heart racing, shallow breathing, your stomach in knots. All of this worry is overwhelming. It impacts almost every aspect of your life. It prevents you from doing what you want to do, from living the way you want to live. Your life is becoming smaller and smaller … AND YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH.
