Therapists in Louisville, KY

I work with individuals, families, couples, and adolescents facing tough challenges, transitions, and growth opportunities. I have over 16 years in practice with experience treating general mental health issues, substance abuse, co-dependency, trauma and grief. I work from a solution-focused, person-centered approach and address not only the individual in therapy, but their family unit or family of choice. I believe that individuals have the strength to create meaningful change in their lives, and as a helping professional, I offer support, facilitate and witness that change in a positive, friendly and collaborative way.

Life is complicated. Stress is inevitable. And, if you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by life or stressors I can help you get your feet back on the ground and move forward. Therapy is a great resource help individuals, couples, and families to journey through life by making small changes which can have a big positive impact on how you approach and balance the many complex systems of life. As a therapist I will work with you to discover and restore your inner peace, improve communication, and provide feedback to discover what the next right step will before you.

Therapy is often a scary decision you are making at one of the most difficult times in your life. As your therapist, I'm committed to building hope and confidence in yourself and your relationships. My mission is to create a collaborative and feedback-informed environment, ensuring you feel supported while embracing challenges and pursuing desired change. I work with many clients struggling with anxiety, depression, and self-worth. I have experience helping many couples through their most difficult moments by creating a greater connection with each other.

There is a Swahali Proverb that says, “every vessel has its own waves” and here at Ankura Wellness we can help you drop anchor and find solace amid the waves. Using a person-centered approach, I think it is important to offer support for the development of change and growth. You see, I believe therapy is a process. A process that is vulnerable to us and to our emotions. Often it can leave us feeling capsized, caught in a rip current, and unable to navigate the open water on our own. On that note, let me take a moment to introduce myself!

Many of us find ourselves vowing to raise our children without the pain we experienced in our own childhoods. Despite this deep commitment to ending destructive family cycles, we may find ourselves repeating old patterns with our own partners and children. We may have lost touch with our own inner child and creative center along the way. With the right healing, support, and new tools for our toolbox, we can become the individuals, partners, and parents that we want to be.

As the owner and founder of The Revolution in Counseling I have sought to understand, develop, and implement the most effective and innovative therapies in the field.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the expectations of personal or professional roles? Do you find yourself numbing, hiding or avoiding feelings or painful/uncomfortable situations? Maybe, you have a family member caught in destructive patterns and it's impacting your life? I'd love to help you change unhealthy habits, transform your thoughts, and reconnect with your true self. Together, we can work to replace pain with self-love, change unhealthy patterns, and find healthy ways to deal with life's stressors. I have a strong background in behavior modification strategies, sustaining change, mental health-related issues, and addictions.

I have been trained as a clinical social worker, addictions counselor, and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist. I utilize experiential therapies and EMDR to help people reclaim their lives.

Parents of addicted adults and folks with internet/gaming/screen addictions are also specialty areas.

It's my passion helping people get what they want in their life and relationships.

Receive efficient and effective couples therapy. Are you in a relationship that does not have the type of communication or closeness that you would prefer? Do you find yourself in gridlock over the same feelings or conflicts? Perhaps you feel not understood? If you are experiencing any issues in a relationship I am happy to help. The majority of couples come to therapy to late. In session, you can expect you and your partner to work together in an engaging and fun environment. You can expect to develop a deeper connection and communication that builds resistance to future issues that may arise.

Seeking clarity? Therapy can allow you to identify and remove blocks inhibiting change, help you make more intentional choices by offering deeper awareness of your perspective, and/or help you construct coherency or a different view of issues that are plaguing you. While I enjoy working with clients of varying backgrounds and ages (and all are welcome in my practice), I specialize in working with those who are suffering from anxiety, trauma, complex trauma, sex- and sexuality-related concerns, and who are aged 15+. You can expect me to be observant, empathic, professional, ethical, responsive, and LGBTQ+ affirming.

Are you struggling to figure out what makes you happy or to find motivation to make the changes that would greatly improve your life? Are you trying to figure out your purpose in an ever changing and complicated world? Do you struggle in navigating your personal / family relationships, or wish to improve how you relate with others? Are you just stuck and confused on what to do? The clients that I consider a best fit are those who are wanting to change themselves but are finding themselves stuck because of anxiety, depression or relational problems.

My goal as a therapist is to encourage clients to attain their greatest potential, to help them transform their lives to being filled with increased ease and balance, and to empower them to recognize their internal competencies that they may access as coping skills for handling the complexities of daily challenges.
