My ideal client would be someone who is ready to change/process, willing to be uncomfortable throughout their journey, be comfortable with being confronted, and willing to apply work made in sessions to their everyday life to foster healing. In practice, I use an electric approach and encourage a healthy amount of autonomy with clients.

Difficult life experiences are something that we as humans all go through as we progress in life. Depression, severe stress, life transitions, career struggles, relational issues, divorce, domestic abuse, grief/loss and trauma are just a few of life's blows that come at us on a daily basis. If you feel like managing these life situations alone is too daunting, consider seeking therapy services. My experience entails a history of working with various populations, such as survivors of domestic violence, those who are bereaved, young adult populations, couples, singles and people facing life transitions.

Counselor, BA
Louisville, KY 40243
I draw on ACT, CBT, and trauma-informed care in a warm, nonjudgmental space.
I became a counselor because I witnessed the transformative power of being seen, heard, and supported during life's hardest moments. I know how heavy anxiety spirals into worry feel, when past trauma lingers and affects daily life, life transitions leave you lost or overwhelmed, relationships strain under unspoken hurts, or a new baby brings unexpected sadness instead of joy. Having someone walk alongside you through these challenges, or seasons of growth, is profoundly impactful. My passion is helping individuals and couples feel empowered, understood, and equipped for lasting change.

I am trained in EMDR, ACT, TF-CBT, and other trauma informed practices.
Clients who come to me are people that have experienced very heavy things, and need a quiet place to unpack that. I believe that the person seeking therapy is the driver of change, and I help them navigate obstacles as they happen. Their goals are to figure out who they are now, and how they react to the changes that have happened after trauma. They want to challenged, and they want support as they take next steps.
