Therapists in Louisville, KY

Is there growing distance or escalating conflict in your relationship? Are you or your partner beginning to lose trust in one another? Have you had a bad experience with couples therapy in the past? All of these are areas I am passionate about & skilled at helping clients work through. I am a Master Trainer in Gottman Method, informed by extensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy. My specialization means that your therapy with me will involve the two of you interacting in profoundly new ways in an emotionally safe environment. With me serving as your guide on the side, you'll learn to relate to each other honestly & lovingly.

If you've felt weighed down, stuck, empty, suffering, low energy, locked in a pattern, unsure of yourself, without meaning, or alone then the chances are you're searching for a new way of being. We've all been feeling some form of these at some point, or many points in our lives. Odds are, it all makes sense as to why. If you've suffered from some form of trauma like many of us have, you'll be relieved to know that there are ways to understand these unconscious patterns in your life that honor your journey and bring out your awareness of your truest strengths and brilliance where you'll be empowered as you heal and grow.

My treatment long specialized in work with young males, adult men and families in crisis, but has now broadened to working with all genders and stages of development. Using an eclectic approach, I give the client the support to tell their own story, help them in self-discovery and collaborate to change behaviors and thoughts within their realm of control. I believe all people need to be recognized and valued as creative, sovereign, powerful and emotional human beings. Please note: I co-own and operate a group practice, Mandala House, when you call the number in my profile, your call will be directed there. Thank you.

I believe in establishing a trusting relationship that creates opportunity for potential, growth and clarity around a variety of issues.

Have you been struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, intimacy issues, or problems that don't go away? Collaborating with a therapist who can provide insight, guidance, and tools to uncover and develop your strengths can be the transformative factor you need. You deserve to live a happier, more satisfying life but unless you take the first step to solve your problems, they will never go away. If you are an individual, couple, or pod desiring to open your relationship or there is a need to address challenges encountered in a consensual non-monogamous relationship, I have the experience to help you navigate both.

We work with couples and families to decrease conflict, improve communication, and enhance the well-being of all family members.

With our world increasingly changing every day, feelings of ‘uncertainty’ are constantly on the rise. Often, we can find it difficult to consistently meet the challenges and demands of our given lifestyle. But add to this that we are frequently taken to task by a ‘surprise unknown’ or two: Lost jobs. Lost relationships. Health issues. Even a lost childhood pulling at you. Maybe all of the above, and then some! Of course, each of us tries to meet these unknowns to the best of our ability. And at times even our absolute best efforts won’t get us back on course.

I take an integrative approach to therapy, providing a range of techniques to meet you where you are and draw on your strengths. I have experience assisting children, teens, and adults in group and individual clinical settings. I am trained in EMDR and incorporate elements of Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) along with mindfulness-based forms of treatment such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My work with teens and children frequently applies techniques from Expressive Therapy and Play Therapy.

Clients who seek my guidance often yearn for liberation from the burdens of anxiety, stress, depression, or interpersonal strife. Their aspiration extends beyond symptom relief; they desire insight into the underlying causes. Many discover that their surface behaviors merely scratch the surface of their issues and are on a quest for genuine transformation and healing.

1st Priority Healthcare provides services to children, teens, adults, and families. We offer an array of services that put the total well-being of our clients at the forefront. We also provide a day treatment program tailored to children with mental illnesses, and a host of other services for persons of all ages, and levels of need.

Therapy can feel hard. That’s ok. The good news is that you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to create a safe space where you can be yourself–a place where you won’t have to struggle with your thoughts and feelings in isolation. You may be here because you’re looking for symptom relief–you want to be comfortable in your own skin, feel better about your life. We’ll talk about your goals for therapy and explore creative ways to help you reach them. Because no one person is the same, there’s no one-size-fits-all therapy approach. You have unique needs, and we’ll collaborate so that your therapy journey feels tailored to you.

It is my deep belief that we each strive to be our best selves. This journey can be difficult and requires that we are able to recognize our own personal strengths and values. Clients should see the results of therapy in a measurable amount of time. This belief is where I begin treatment with the clients presenting problem guiding services.

Are you unhappy? Does it feel like your family or your relationship is falling apart? Do you feel unsure of yourself? We've all been there-- faced with a difficult task or dilemma and unsure how to proceed. Sometimes the help of a neutral, objective professional can make all the difference. I can help you uncover the obstacles holding you back that will help you turn your goals into realities. My ultimate ambition is to help you find a sense of peace and happiness.

It's my passion helping people get what they want in their life and relationships. I help INDIVIDUALS make changes and overcome obstacles to get what they want in life and with the people they care about. I help COUPLES reconnect and revitalize their relationship. I work with FAMILIES to break through patterns and blocks, and begin to enjoy each other and create the home they dream of.

I believe that every individual, couple or family is unique and deserving of dignity, respect and the right to define happiness and fulfillment in the ways most meaningful to them. Unfortunately, sometimes, our life experiences and unresolved trauma can present barriers and obstacles to achieving our goals to be our best versions of ourselves. You are taking an incredibly brave first step by being here and searching for a professional whose profile and experience resonate with your needs. You are to be commended for making a decision to seek support.

Most of my clients come to me having felt that something is "not right" in their life. Maybe their relationships are struggling, they are unhappy at work or school, or they are finding it difficult to keep up with all the changes in their lives. I enjoy partnering with both adults and adolescents (and their families). My work with adults tends to focus on self-esteem and self-acceptance, interpersonal conflicts, anxiety, and life transitions. I also enjoy working with adolescents who struggle with anxiety and self-esteem, are experiencing school failure or difficulty, or are struggling to cope with life's changes in healthy ways.

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.

Struggling with a problem or relationship? Tired of feeling the same way and repeating the same old patterns? Need more self confidence or want to feel more hopeful about your future? Helping you cope with stressors, navigating difficult transitions, and providing guidance in which you can feel more in control of your life is a key focus of my therapy. Through my goal oriented approach, I help clients find the tools and discover coping strategies to feel better and strengthen their supports. I have expertise in working with individuals, marriages/couples, parents, and families
