Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Louisville, Kentucky, and my path to this work started in hospital case management, where I spent nearly 10 years watching how a new illness can upend an entire family. That experience led me to earn my master's in marriage and family therapy. I specialize in working with adults and older adults, and I recently completed a certification in aging. Supporting people through chronic illness is something I care about deeply.

My approach to therapy

I approach therapy through a family systems lens, which means I look at how our relationships and life experiences shape the way we feel and cope day to day. My focus is on the whole person, not just the diagnosis or presenting concern. I bring warmth, genuine curiosity, and deep respect for each client's unique story into every session. I believe that real healing begins when someone feels truly seen and understood, and I am committed to creating that space every time we meet.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I want you to feel comfortable and completely unhurried. We will spend time getting to know each other, and I will ask questions to better understand your background, your goals, and what has brought you to therapy at this point in your life. There is no pressure to share more than you are ready for. My goal is for you to leave that first conversation feeling genuinely heard and a bit more hopeful, with a clearer picture of what our work together might look like.
