Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Louisville, KY
My approach integrates evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, culturally appropriate somatic therapies, and solution- focused strategies, but it’s all infused with the relational and intuitive skills I developed during my hairstyling years.
In our sessions, I help you explore your thoughts, emotions, and body sensations in a way that feels natural and safe.. If we’re using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I’ll guide you to notice patterns in your thinking—those “what-if” spirals or harsh self-judgments—and work with you to reframe them.

In treatment, we will integrate traditional therapy techniques (CBT, DBT, Brain Spotting, etc), and wellness approaches.
Self compassion is vital for change. My goal is to help you master this difficult skill to help support you in loving and being your best self. With over thirteen years in the mental health field and almost a lifetime of focusing on personal growth, I have learned the hard way that no change comes without having a positive relationship with yourself. If you are willing to commit, I can help you develop that relationship with yourself and alter any unhealthy thought, behavioral, or relationship patterns that are keeping you stuck. Together we can tap into your intuition, use your strengths and cultivate skills needed for growth.

Noam Shpancer, once stated, “Mental health is not a destination, it’s a journey. It’s about how you drive, not where you’re going.” As humans, we are all on our own mental health journey, though some may experience more hills, curves, and bumps in the road than others. Whether overcoming poverty, battling substance use, trauma, anxiety, or depression and despair, you are not alone. With deep knowledge of the human psyche, a keen awareness of societal pressures throughout the lifespan, and a strong heart for helping others, I would be honored to guide you throughout your mental health journey.

Modalities used but not limited to: cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused therapy, dialectical behavioral techniques, and trauma processing, among others.
Many times in life we are left searching for answers. We often develop feelings and behaviors that may become difficult to manage stemming from current circumstances or even previous experiences.

Whether it’s diving into Inner Child work, tapping into TF-CBT, DBT, REBT, or exploring the deeper stuff like Somatic Bodywork, Polyvagal Theory, SE, or NET—I’ve got you covered.
I specialize in the stuff most people prefer to sweep under the rug—trauma, addiction, and mental health challenges. You know, the things that, if left unchecked, turn into the monster under the bed, except this one doesn’t go away when you turn on the light. Together, we’ll work through the darkness and find a way to make life suck a little less. Or, who knows, maybe even a lot less. Life’s messy, but we can still make progress while acknowledging that, sometimes, it’s a bit of a dumpster fire. The important part is that we start pulling you out of it.

I draw most heavily from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Jungian Analytical Psychology, Person-Centered Theory, and Existential Theory.
I believe most problems stem from traumas of varying degrees. Awareness of how trauma impacts the mind and body allows it to be healed rather than avoided or channeled into destructive behaviors. I have experience working with trauma, eating disorders, mood disorders, addiction, personality disorders, grief and loss, and life transitions.
