There has been no greater gift in my life’s work than to have served as a therapist and director of a child and family crisis center here in Louisville for over 18 years.  The families and individuals that I worked with from all walks of life had real-life challenges that rocked them to their core.   These experiences allowed me to cultivate a therapeutic approach and style that have been tested by the most complex of crises.  I approach each person, couple, and family with a deep sense of humility and knowledge of the sacred trust that makes up the fabric of the therapeutic relationship.  I have walked with individuals, couples, and families in some of the darkest and most trying times of their lives.  I believe that there is a unique resiliency in each individual and family that can be strengthened through the work of therapy.

In life, if your peace depends upon other people treating you well, you don’t have peace.  In order to bring about movement and change, a deep and full awareness is needed.  While I endeavor to make every encounter in the therapy room a safe and peaceful one, there are also moments that call for challenge, confrontation, and interrupting comfort to move us out of “stuck’ places.

Early on and throughout the process, I invite the individuals, couples, and families I work with to collaborate with me on the therapy process.  This may mean being critical of my work or approaches.  I want the people I work with to have ownership over their therapy process.  When people feel free to challenge me or push back, it often allows me to pivot in a way that is ultimately more helpful to them.

We offer a wonderful opportunity for a free consultation by phone to begin to determine if I could be a good “fit” for you as a therapist.  I encourage everyone considering therapy to explore this service to begin to construct the best foundation possible for the work ahead.
