Therapists in Louisville, KY

After struggling to find a therapist that mirrored my experience, I decided to become a resource for trans and queer individuals who don't want to have to explain their experience in therapy. I am here to help you process through your issues, find language for your minority stress, cultivate resilience for your struggles, and gain access to the things you need.

Empowerment Life Coaching is based on a holistic approach toward mental health: blending the collaborative elements of coaching with the academic support of Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Women’s & Gender Studies. This method offers a radical shift into providing wellness care focused on mind, body, and spirit. I specialize in women’s empowerment, reparenting, compassion fatigue, burnout, grief, and pet loss. I also love helping clients identify and develop boundaries and encourage their capacity to integrate into everyday life. The goal is to feel empowered, embodied, and deeply connected to your authentic Self.

***Accepting new clients*** We all strive for healthy and satisfying relationships, but sometimes we don’t have all the tools we need to get there on our own. As human beings we all crave connection, belonging, and to be seen and known by others. That is where therapy comes in, to help provide some new tools and empower you in day-to-day life. I believe in walking alongside you as you seek to make changes in your life and relationships. Change is often small and incremental, but you will be surprised to see how change can add up over time. My therapeutic approach is compassionate, open, collaborative, and trauma-informed.

Do you constantly ask yourself, “What could I be doing better?” or “What am I doing wrong?” You’re not alone if you have low self-esteem, struggle with your body image, or feel the pressure to constantly “be on.” Living in a perfectionist society is hard. Is the stress of “doing it all” interfering with your joy & happiness? The need to be a perfectionist may create poor sleeping habits, negatively impact time with loved ones, and lead to second-guessing yourself. It is painful to live with these feelings; you don’t have to do it alone.

Do you feel like the same scene is playing out in your life over and over again, but an inability to change the script? Do you feel powerless in managing confusing and intense feelings and difficulty in understanding why you feel this way? ARE YOU STRUGGLING IN RELATIONSHIPS? I am a psychotherapist specializing in Holistic trauma-focused treatments for adults, and couples. I believe that most people who walk into the therapist's office have difficulties that are rooted in trauma. Most traumatic experiences happen in the context of a relationship and can also be healed in the context of a safe therapeutic relationship.

Helping people is my passion. I believe that individuals suffering from an anxiety related disorder are trapped by their symptoms and, through psychotherapeutic treatment, can find their potential, learning how to live a life of value and purpose.

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.

On the outside you have it all together. Nobody would ever guess deep down you question your self-esteem, self-worth, sense of identity, and life's purpose. You frequently wonder who you are at your core if you aren't a parent, a spouse, an employee, or some other role. At times you feel lost and disconnected from yourself and others, which has resulted in anxiety, frustration, depression, and further isolation. Maybe you've experienced a life transition that has left you reeling and you finally feel ready for some soul searching and deep, candid internal conversations. If this is you, then we have work to do.

I take a collaborative approach to therapy through which I assist you as you raise your self-awareness, build on your strengths, and cultivate authenticity in your life. We will explore all aspects of what is influencing your well-being including your thoughts, feelings, relationships, societal and institutional influences, and your place in the natural world. My primary goal is to create a safe and accepting environment where you can fully express yourself, take emotional risks, and reach your full potential. All worldviews are welcome in my office.

The thing I most enjoy about being a counselor is it gives me the opportunity to see how truly resilient people are. I've had the privilege of working with couples who believed that their marriage was beyond repair, and with individuals who were convinced that they were broken. And I've seen those same individuals and couples work to develop new ways of thinking and relating to others, and work to confront past issues that were controlling their present. Working with each of those individuals and couples was a great privilege, and I would consider it a privilege to work with you as well!
