Stress Therapists in Louisville, KY

New Clients Welcome! You've handled anxiety in the past. You pushed through the stress , kept your head above water, survived. You've shrugged off healthy habits, too restless to take advice like 'exercise, take breaks and have some fun.' You think, "I'll be better when (blank) happens." But will it? So you bury thoughts and feelings, keep moving, and distract yourself from overwork, over-worrying and over-responsibility. Maybe you don't need more advice. Rather, you need hope that you can calm anxious thoughts, decrease anger and be more present at home or at work. You might just need convincing that habits and thoughts can change.

My ideal client is focused upon personal growth and healing. Someone who looks at their barriers, but also utilizes their strengths to overcome or minimize those barriers. My ideal client understands at times we all need help, and simply want someone to walk beside them on their journey. One of the most challenging things you may be faced with is trying to understand why you are the way you are, or why you behave the way you do. Instead, I want you to stop looking at your faults, your mistakes, the "what if's" and remember, one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story.

You pour into others daily, but feel empty when the day is done. You wonder if the thankless tasks of daily life will ever be enjoyable again. Do you feel like you're ready for someone to pour into you? I specialize in anxiety, stress management, burnout/compassion fatigue that members of the helping profession (teachers, medical providers, mental health providers, etc) experience, and life transitions for high school and college students. Let's prioritize YOU together. Allow me to help you navigate through these moments in your life.

If you're feeling stuck, struggling to find clarity and deeper meaning in life, or you would like to live with more ease and joy but you're not sure how to make that happen, I can help. I will guide you in finding tools to help you manage perfectionism, overwhelm, and fear of failure. We'll work together toward understanding and accepting yourself (flaws and all). I will support you as you implement strategies that work for you and your life so you can be happier, feel calm and confident, and create a life that you love.

Whether you are the person who has it all together or the person who is barely holding it together, it's essential to know that you have outside help from a reliable, welcoming source. Whatever season of life you are currently in, we will work through it together. Therapy should be a beneficial experience for individuals, and I want to ensure it is as positive an experience as possible.

You just want the pain, chaos, and emptiness you feel to go away once and for all. Whether it is eating secretly to comfort yourself, having to drink every night to sleep, pushing yourself to achieve, or isolating yourself. Attempting to balance family, work, and your self-care can feel overwhelming and tends to end with you feeling worse about yourself and how you can't get it together. Shame and guilt keep you stationary where you are, and if you had to admit that things were not where you wanted you might actually crumble. Let's figure out a new normal, together.

You may isolate yourself from people, places, and things to prevent anxiety. Maybe you have blocked out all or part of an event that you now struggle to understand.
