They may be navigating betrayal, grief, identity questions, or a major life transition.
I work with individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges, major life transitions, and significant ruptures. This often includes infidelity work, supporting both those who’ve been betrayed and those who’ve broken trust. Therapy offers accountability, clarity, and the chance to shift painful beliefs about yourself that may have taken hold.

All people have THAT moment. The big one, where we question if we are with the right person. We find ourselves loving someone, but falling into a pattern that we can't find our way out of. Communication, betrayals, falling out of sync, the fights that lead nowhere, someone shutting down, lack of emotional or physical intimacy, or not seeing eye to eye on important issues are all reasons people can benefit from an intensive look into their relationship. You want your person to be "your" person again. To love openly with affection, but also with the ability to resolve conflicts is what I wish for each couple I work with.

I work primarily with intimate relationships (couples, marriages, CNM relationships) and with adolescents and young adults who may be struggling with or looking to explore issues around transitions, sex and sexuality, LGBTQIA+ identity, grief and loss, depression, and anxiety. I also have experience working with fellow therapists in both individual and relational contexts. I enjoy helping people to think of themselves as a system living within larger systems that may be serving them or working against them. I work collaboratively with each person I meet because I think it is vital that therapy be tailored to what is best for you.

It is common for people to feel stuck in their lives and experience hardship.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and received my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Louisville. I provide warm, yet active therapy, so clients can get the most out of the therapy experience and live a better life.

It is okay to feel chaotic or stuck in oneself, relationships, or family systems. Therapy with me is collaborative; nurturing a space that feels brave, nonjudgmental, and warm for each of you. My clinical belief is that in therapy, we may go through emotional challenges, which may come with pain and sorrow, alongside realization and compassion. To experience the healing we seek, we want to make rooms for emotions, thoughts, and experiences that are uncomfortable and hurtful. I know it takes a lot of courage to do so, and I would love to go on this journey with you.

You might find yourself in a season of change or uncertainty-navigating a life transition, sitting with emotions that feel hard to name, or noticing patterns you don’t fully understand. Maybe you’re asking questions like: Why do I react this way? Why do relationships feel difficult? Why do I feel stuck? If you're curious about your “why,” therapy can be a space to explore it. Together, we can make sense of your thoughts, behaviors, and past experiences—not just to understand where you’ve been, but to help you use that insight to move forward with more clarity, connection, and intention.

You’ve been holding it together for everyone else—high-functioning on the outside, but quietly unraveling on the inside.

What you want is space—space to exhale, to be seen, to heal. At Cultivate Your Essence, we offer that space: a soul-rooted sanctuary where you can unpack what’s heavy, reconnect with who you are, and begin your healing journey—on your terms, with softness, strength & real support.
