I have been practicing in the Louisville area since 2002. My experience ranges from acute inpatient care to out-patient therapy; working with children, adolescents and adults, as well as families and couples. Through my experience I am hoping to further apply my skills working with those who may be dealing with the following issues: anxiety, depressive/mood disorders, grief/death/dying issues, self esteem issues, peer conflicts, ADHD/ADD, social skills, parent/child relationships, and parenting skills. I want to work together to develop a therapeutic relationship that addresses your area of needs combined with empathetic understanding and validation of feelings.
I especially enjoy working with the family unit in order to better assist clients with the problems they may be having. Whether you are a blended family, divorced family, married couple or have a significant other, it is my opinion that with family support a client can better work toward a positive outcome.
I take a non-judgmental approach with the belief that everyone needs help in working through issues at some point in our lives. I use a variety of practice methods that are tailored to meet your individual needs. Having a trustworthy, safe person to work through issues with can put one at ease.
