Interpersonal Therapists in Louisville, KY

I combine excellent education/training (Stanford University; U of L; Palo Alto, California VA) with intelligence, heart, wisdom, and experience (23 years) to help you overcome suffering and achieve your unique goals. I work to understand and appreciate you deeply, in all your uniqueness, even as I bring the best of my human compassion and therapeutic skill to the task of helping you. Goals in our work together can include healing emotional suffering and trauma; calming stress, anxiety, and anger; overcoming loss, depression, and break-ups; resolving couple conflicts and miscommunication; and working to clarify your deeper life path and purpose.

When I meet a new client, I like to acknowledge that therapy is a courageous choice. Our first meeting is a time for me to learn why you reached out and what kind of change you are seeking. It is also a time for you to learn how you feel about me! If you return, then ongoing therapy sessions will consist of evidence-based practices that are specific to your goals and needs. We will measure and record your progress, so that you can make informed decisions about what works for you. Some people remain in therapy indefinitely because they like the ongoing support, while others exit after succeeding toward a specific, time-limited goal.

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.

In my practice, I focus on nurturing emotional development and healing for clients aged birth to 30, helping them overcome challenges like anxiety, depression, and trauma. I believe authentic healing requires understanding root causes, so I establish a safe, supportive environment for clients to genuinely explore their emotions and needs. My approach prioritizes uncovering underlying issues over symptom management and building trust to empower clients to express themselves openly and without judgment.
