Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Louisville, KY
I draw from CBT, DBT, and Strengths-Based therapy, which in plain terms means we'll tackle unhelpful thoughts, manage big emotions, and lean into what's already working in your life.
I've spent more than 15 years advising, teaching, and coaching people across academics, careers, major life transitions, and ADHD. I watched real people struggle with exactly what you're struggling with, and I learned what actually helps. In every session, I bring all of that into the room with you.
I specialize in adults, couples, and teens navigating ADHD, neurodivergence, anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and relationships. If you've wondered whether your brain works differently — and whether someone could help you work with it instead of against it — that's exactly what I do.
I'd love to be your therapist.

It is my deep belief that we each strive to be our best selves. This journey can be difficult and requires that we are able to recognize our own personal strengths and values. Clients should see the results of therapy in a measurable amount of time. This belief is where I begin treatment with the clients presenting problem guiding services.

Life can be unpredictable, scary, and overwhelming at times—leaving you anxious, unmotivated, or disconnected from others. Often, we struggle to communicate in times of need or feel stuck or unsure about how to express our feelings. “Communication is key” isn’t just a saying—it’s the foundation of meaningful connection and emotional well-being. Communication is a way to advocate for ourselves while connecting to others. In a fast-paced world, therapy offers a space to slow down, explore, and reconnect with yourself and those around you.

You’ve been holding it together, but lately it feels like life is moving faster than you can keep up. Between work, relationships, and constant change, you’re running on empty.

Life is full of changes—a new job, becoming a parent, or facing unexpected challenges like loss or illness.. If you are tired of feeling like you’re constantly playing catch-up in a world that moves at lightning speed, you’re not alone.
