Are you struggling with not feeling good enough? Feeling too anxious to leave home or easily overwhelmed by daily life? Is your child struggling with maintaining behaviors at home or experienced significant trauma from home or school? If you're wanting to generally feel brighter so that you can live your best life now, then I can be there to help you heal. People often only think of trauma as a major disaster but it can be much less obvious like: negative self talk, negative sibling interactions, bad teachers, abusive relationships, parental overreactions and bullying. All leave scars and need some help to heal.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have been serving the Louisville community since 1994. I work with adults that have been faced with daily stressors or life challenges. Beginning counseling can be difficult and challenging. Recognizing this, I offer a supportive and comfortable environment to begin your counseling journey. I enjoy working with my clients to create new coping skills, new ways of thinking, along with building better communication skills.

Does your child have behavioral problems at home and/or school? Does he/she suffer from anxiety or depression? Have they experienced a trauma or have difficulty getting along with others? I can help you work thru the issues you are facing in order to achieve happiness.

Accepting new clients! If you feel that past therapy has been “directionless,” I am the provider for you. My approach is rooted in compassion, and heavily skills-based. You’ll leave our sessions with tools, choices, and an increased understanding of yourself, your relationship, or your teen, My experience with attachment-based modalities, Internal Family Systems techniques, and complex PTSD, has helped me to incorporate somatic practices into my therapy session, as well as techniques to reprogram deep subconscious wiring that keeps us stuck in harmful patterns and ruts. I specialize in working with those struggling with anxiety.

While I have experience working in a dual-diagnosis treatment center for those struggling with substance abuse, I also have experience working with clients living with the effects of trauma, mood disorders like anxiety and depression, self-harm and suicide ideation, OCD tendencies and psychosis. In the counseling office I am supportive, non-judgmental and empathetic while maintaining a direct and solution-oriented approach to help you achieve your goals. I'm LGBTQ+ affirming and welcome all gender identities, sexualities, and presentations into my office.

I believe everyone has the power within themselves to heal, grow, and change. I can be the person who helps you unlock your beautiful, authentic, inner spirit no matter what your age, background, or lifestyle. My therapeutic interventions vary with the needs of the people who entrust me to participate in their journey via a trauma-informed lens. I am a believer of being kind to yourself and others, being present, being mindful, and living your best life.
