Attachment-based Therapists in Louisville, KY

If you are motivated to understand the conscious and unconscious forces and meanings that shape your experience and relationships; If you feel you are without choices; if you are struggling with questions of self-worth; if you are grieving; if you feel hurt, betrayed or abandoned, I encourage you to take the brave first step toward your self by entering into this safe space of non-judgment. I desire to create a safe and therapeutic space where individuals feel the safety to be seen and known.

As of April 2024, I am only accepting new clients for psychological assessment. My goal is to help adults understand themselves better and find more effective ways to cope with stressors. I approach therapy from an attachment-based and interpersonal lens, and I often focus on how past relationships impact present emotions and experiences. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect of therapy, and I strive to create a sense of safety that also fosters growth.

Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, life and relational stressors, or healing from trauma, finding a non judgemental space to process can help you feel heard, understood and encouraged as you continue on your Life’s Journey. Working from a collaborative approach, I respect your values, and life’s experience, and can partner with you to identify your personal goals and assist you in making meaningful change to live in alignment with those values.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who is affirming, collaborative and excited to work with you and your family.

I enjoy working with families of all ages, but I especially enjoy working with teens as they go through such an important phase of life.

THE bravest thing we can ever do is ask for help. It can be hard scrolling through here, trying to find someone who may be a good fit for you. I've felt that, too (so have my clients). And what we've found is the pain points of our past still show up and affect us at work and home by trapping us in patterns that no longer serve us. When unaddressed, these patterns easily lead to overwhelming stress. At times, they may even lead to problematic substance use, burnout, and relationship issues. We all need support from time to time. We all need a sense of safety and a place to allow ourselves to be fully seen, heard, and valued.

Accepting new clients beginning August 2024. Sex therapist focused on increasing intimacy and connections. I support individuals struggling with many intimacy challenges including: performance worries, partner desire discrepancy, low/no desire, sexual shame, relational stress, exploration of sexual and/or gender identities, kink, sexual trauma histories, and interpersonal communication difficulties. Specializing in LGBTQIA+ and Non Monogamy Communities, including polyamory, open, and more. I also support those whose lives have been negatively impacted by anxiety, low self-esteem, body image issues, and loss.

I work with couples and individuals who need a systemic perspective on how problems interact in relationships. Then, with my specialized lens, I am able to help clients get “unstuck” after years of no or low quality sex, desire discrepancies, medical issues that create disconnection, and pent up frustrations between partners. I am skilled, humorous, direct, honest, and loving with my clients. And I’m a welcoming, justice oriented, creative thinker who does not judge and is willing to walk alongside you through it all: fear, trauma, doubt, shame, guilt, sadness, and dark nights of the soul.

Life can be confusing, stressful, and overwhelming. A good therapist can create a comfortable, collaborative space to help you explore obstacles and strengths and find your stride in a chaotic world. My goal is to give you a place where you can foster self-awareness and learn to access the resiliency that can help you move forward. I see how insecurities and conflicts in interpersonal relationships can cause anxiety, and I'm compelled to help people resolve these issues. We are much more than our problems. Everyone deserves the ability to express themselves and feel more connected to themselves and others.
