Infertility Therapists in Louisville, KY

Hello and welcome! I'm an EMDR trained, dedicated counselor who is focused on creating a warm and supportive space where you can navigate your past and find healing in the present. My focus extends to aiding individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, relational issues, trauma, infertility, and I hold a special passion for helping those who've experienced birth trauma. Guiding you towards a brighter future is a true joy for me, and I'm here to celebrate every step of your journey.

Are you preparing for or in the process of becoming a parent? Are you noticing difficulties adjusting to life as a new mother or parent? The journey towards parenthood can bring about a number of emotions and experiences that may feel unexpected. Whether you are going through infertility treatments, grieving a pregnancy/stillbirth/infant loss, processing unexpected birthing experiences, or adjusting to a new identity and life as a mom or parent, I am here with a compassionate, empathic, and validating approach to help you navigate what can feel like a new life and new self. There is hope and you are not alone.

The transition into motherhood is hard, and it becomes even harder when things don’t go as planned. Add in the pressure to perfectly “do it all” and it’s no wonder women are often left feeling stressed, burnt out, overwhelmed, anxious, and/or depressed. Many of my clients come to me with goals of finding peace, gaining confidence, healing from past wounds, and changing the patterns that are keeping them stuck. Whether you are just starting the process of trying to conceive, in the throes of infertility treatment, pregnant/postpartum, or years into child rearing - I get it and I can help you reconnect to what matters most to you.

I have been helping clients to overcome their personal struggles for more than a decade, and it has been an incredibly rewarding journey. I am currently an Associate Professor and the Director of Clinical Training at Spalding University in the School of Professional Psychology. I am passionate about training the next generation of Psychologists, but I will always be invested in psychotherapy and aiding those in need in our community. Please connect to our services that will aid and support you.

Life can throw a number of curve-balls our way. Sometimes these experiences are manageable, but often they bring up a number of feelings, thoughts, and reactions that impact our daily functioning. Perhaps you are struggling with infertility, grief/loss, the challenges of pregnancy + new parenthood, or postpartum anxiety/depression. Maybe you have experienced trauma in your lifetime and have never had the space to give it the narrative it deserves. Or are experiencing stress from a new life transition. Whatever it might be, I offer a collaborative, safe, and supportive environment to find the solutions that best meet your needs.

I realize beginning therapy can be difficult. I believe that a large portion of therapy is about your rapport with your therapist and I strive to make this process as easy and comfortable as possible. Through the past 20 years I have served children, adolescents and adults in various therapeutic settings. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) and I have a Masters in Social Work (MSSW). I believe my education, professional experience and personal life experiences help me to be a caring and effective therapist.

Welcome! I love providing my clients with an open and warm place to process their past and find a place of healing in the present. I commonly work with people who struggle with anxiety, depression, relational conflict, trauma, infertility, and with ministry leaders. I love assisting my clients in setting goals for their future, seeing them achieve, and celebrate their growth together.

For over 15 years, I have helped clients improve their most important relationships. I have found that when we experience conflict, communication challenges, a lack of emotional/physical intimacy, or have unmet needs, we can struggle to feel complete. Whether I am working with an individual client, a couple, or an entire family system, I can support you in strengthening your intimate relationships. I specialize in maternal mental health (infertility, pregnancy, and postpartum), premarital and marital counseling, parent-child interactions, and extended family (in-laws, siblings, and family of origin) dynamics.

Clients typically approach me when they have experienced trauma (single incident or complex, recent or past) or are experiencing concerns related to the perinatal time period. This includes anxiety, depression, miscarriage, birth trauma, infertility, guilt, and overwhelm. I work best with clients who are looking to explore the deeper root of their problems rather than only the symptoms. I also identify as Christian. I can incorporate faith into counseling upon a client's request; however, I work with clients from a variety of belief systems and only include clients' spiritual or religious beliefs when requested and appropriate.

Limited daytime appointments now available! When we hurt or feel overwhelmed, we might feel stuck with no way out and our personal well-being and relationships might suffer.

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!
