Bringing a unique & colorful range of education and work experience, I am a mission-driven, lifelong advocate of egalitarian psychiatric rehabilitation. I use techniques, philosophies, and practices from around the world along with common sense from years of working in many different roles to provide clients with personalized and nuanced psychotherapy. I help people move toward their own "self-actualization", wherever they may be. I have worked with people experiencing severe mental illness, people working through criminal sentencing, and the general population. I keep a meditation practice and offer therapy-integrated and/or standalone certified mindfulness/meditation instruction. I have an innate capacity to see and connect with people struggling in difficult places; I meet and understand people no matter who or where they are in life.

My philosophy with regard to therapy is the same as my philosophy in life - relationships are a way for each human being to grow into the person they wish to become. Talk therapy is the main modality I will use in our time together. Our goal will be to reveal the beliefs that are stopping you from becoming the person you want to be, and/or having the relationship that you want, and changing them. To do this, we will work as a team to discover how the relationships you have experienced in your life have formed those beliefs.

Treating an individual who copes with daily depression is a part of my work that I love. There is hope! In addition to treating individuals for depression, working with couples to create the relationship they want and need is my passion. I welcome clients of any sexual orientation.

I have been a psychotherapist in private practice for thirteen years. I work with individuals experiencing grief and loss, depression, anxiety, trauma and life transitions. I offer a compassionate, warm and non-judgmental environment. I use a holistic approach to therapy that includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and honors the relationship of mind, body and spirit. Working together, we will explore the meanings behind thoughts, feelings and behaviors that limit one's journey toward personal growth. We will create solutions to transform and overcome personal struggles. I tailor therapy to each individual’s issues, needs, concerns and goals. Pleased contact me for a 30 minute initial session at no charge to determine if your needs and my skills are a good fit.

I am a licensed professional counselor candidate at Louisville Family center, serving adults, couples and people with addictions. Mindfulness-based, somatic techniques, Gestalt, NVC and existential psychotherapy are therapies that I use. I affirm people of all ages, abilities, genders, sexual orientations, races, ethnicities, national origins, religions, and SES.
