Therapists in Louisville, KY

My approach to therapy is founded on respect and compassion for my clients, meeting them wherever they may be in their journey. Life can be filled with so many challenging moments and uncertainties, and as a therapist it's my top priority to provide a safe, comfortable and judgement-free space for clients to express themselves.

Arriving at my office you will be greeted with welcome and acceptance by an experienced professional of 25 years. In working with people of all ages in all settings I have learned that being kind and direct, while creating a balance of humor and seriousness, are key to gain a wider and wiser self-view. We will use this eclectic style to reach your goals. Clients say they feel comfortable with me quickly. That’s good because it’s proven that a safe place and a feeling of unconditional positive regard are necessary for therapy to work; a mindset I would dare call Love. Often, magically, and proven by research, it's all that's needed.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression or a history of substance abuse? Are you searching for coping skills to manage your stress and improve your mood? Are you struggling with negative thoughts about yourself, troubling thoughts from your past, or distressing thoughts about the future? I can help. My philosophy for mental health involves helping people gain insight into how events from the past shape how one thinks, feels, and acts in the present. These insights lead to a deeper understanding into how to change thoughts, emotions, and behaviors through coping strategies and increased self-awareness.

All humans are unique, as are all clients. While there is no way to describe the “ideal” client, I work best with those individuals who place a high value on authenticity, transparency, and honesty.

Some areas of rewarding experience have included work with non-traditional family structures, women’s health and wellness, intergenerational trauma healing, adoption and its impact for all involved, and healthy relationship development- to name a few.

I hold a core belief that no one wants to be “bad” or do “bad.” Keeping this in mind, I prefer to highlight strengths and focus on how we learn and grow in our challenging moments. Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all, and I don't come in knowing exactly what will work for you. My goal is to approach each session with curiosity and to collaborate with you on a unique plan that pulls from your strengths and creativity. My style is direct and action-oriented. I won't just ask, “How does that make you feel?” I'll ask, “What are we going to do about it?” I’m trans, queer and neurodivergent, and I love working with folks of shared experience.

Are you battling unwanted sexual behavior? Are you tired of carrying around this dark secret? Often we don’t talk about these things or seek help because of the embarrassment or shame that typically surrounds them. We think things like, “if they knew this, they would leave me” or “Keeping this secret keeps the peace,” but you just don’t know how long you can keep up the lie. The truth is that trying to get passed something like a porn addiction on your own doesn’t work and hasn’t worked.
