WellCare Therapists in Saint Matthews, KY
You’ve thought about therapy, but you hear a voice inside that is hesitant. It asks, "Will they judge my sexual orientation, my gender identity, my dating life, my choices, or my views on faith? Will they see me as an entire person with a complex web of interests, hopes, and desires; or will they just see me as my presenting problems? Will they work with me to reach creative solutions; or will they just label me with a diagnosis and try to ‘fix’ me with a workbook?” You deserve a therapist who celebrates your individuality, who views YOU as the expert of your own experience, and who honors the unique parts of your life.

Though you may be reluctant, you’ve noticed a pattern in your life of a lack of fulfillment in your relationships. You have wondered about why this might be, you have tried to look inward, to get advice... for some reason, it seems that you've not been able to get at the root of the issue. You find that this has led to feelings of unrest in your life. During the best times, you're able to focus on your other accomplishments, but have a nagging insecurity about not being able to conquer intimacy. At the worst of times, you feel despair, fear abandonment and have anxious thoughts that feel uncontrollable.

None of us get through life without picking up a few things we'd rather not carry. Sometimes it's anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, or relationship struggles. Sometimes it's just feeling disconnected from the person you want to be. I work with adults and older teens who are ready for something to change, even if they're not sure what that looks like yet. Therapy isn't about having all the answers. It's about having a place to be honest, figure out what's getting in your way, and move forward with a little more clarity and confidence.

I believe treatment should be navigated delicately and without judgement. We are more than our current situation, which is why I work to understand what it took to get you where you are today, including your strengths. I take a holistic approach to healing, while also utilizing evidence-based methods such as EMDR, art therapy, ketamine-assisted therapy, and various talk therapy modalities, helping you process and tap into feelings that you may have struggled to find or articulate. Sometimes our human experience can affect us in ways we wish it didn’t, and I'd like to help you improve in areas that need most attention.

I focus on helping clients address the root of their issues, not just the surface symptoms. In almost all cases, things like anxiety, depression, impulsive behaviors, and mood fluctuations stem from deeper wounds that have not been corrected. We need to work on the presenting problems, yes, but more importantly we need to address the underlying problem that is creating the symptoms. Imagine cutting back a rose bush you no longer want every year. You may have taken care of the problem temporarily, but it comes back year after year because you have never killed the roots. That’s the goal we have to accomplish together.
