ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS | LOUISVILLE, KY, IN & SC
Therapy for the stories that have shaped you—and the ones you want to write next.
If religion has shaped your sense of self and somewhere along the way that started to hurt or cause stress, you're in the right place. The messages we inherit—from family, religion, culture, and work—run deep. And when they no longer fit, it takes more than willpower to find your way through.
I offer a space where your doubts, your grief, your anger, and your questions are not problems to be fixed—they're the starting point.
RELIGIOUS TRAUMA · SPIRITUAL ABUSE · CHURCH HURT · SPIRITUAL IDENTITY · PURITY CULTURE · MINDFULNESS · WORK STRESS & BURNOUT · COMPASSION FATIGUE
FOCUS AREAS
-
Religious Trauma
For people who've been hurt by religion, religious leaders, or faith communities—lay people and clergy alike. Your mind, body, and spirit deserve to be heard.
-
Work Stress & Burnout
For helping professionals and caregivers experiencing exhaustion, compassion fatigue, and overwhelm. Let's make space for you, so you can keep showing up for others.
-
Professional Resilience
Coaching and consulting for individuals and organizations to get to the root of professional burnout, restore balance, and build sustainable practices.
NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION
I help people understand and heal their activated nervous systems.
Clients describe work with me as supportive, attentive, intentional, creative, grounding, mindful, and collaborative.
Your whole self is welcome in this space—your doubts, your emotions, your questions that don't yet have answers. Your neurodivergences. Your queer or evolving identities. The parts of you that are still figuring it all out.
-
Trauma shapes more than memories—it shapes how your nervous system responds to the world, how you relate to others, and how you understand yourself. In our work together, we pay attention to all of that. We go at a pace that feels safe, and we build your capacity to regulate and recover rather than just cope.
-
Your whole self is welcome in this space, including your queer or evolving identities.
-
The way your brain works is not a problem to be fixed. Whether you're neurodivergent, have an ADHD or autism diagnosis (or self-identification), or just experience the world differently than it seems others do—I will meet you where you are and adapt how we work together to fit you.
-
I see you as a whole person, not a cluster of symptoms. Many of the things that bring people to therapy—anxiety, hypervigilance, shutting down, people-pleasing—are reasonable responses to difficult circumstances, not evidence that something is wrong with you. We'll explore what your responses are telling us and what your mind and body need to experience safety.
-
Mindfulness isn't just meditation—it's the practice of noticing what's happening inside you without immediately reacting to it. That pause is where a lot of healing lives. I weave mindfulness into our work as a way of helping you build awareness, slow down automatic responses, and make more intentional choices.
-
Your experiences don't happen in a vacuum—they're shaped by your family, your culture, your community, and larger systems of power and marginalization. I bring awareness of those contexts into the room, and I'm committed to continuing to educate myself so I can show up for the full complexity of your life.
-
Strengths-based therapy involves exploring your strengths, resources (personality traits, skills, social support, vocational training, etc.), and resilience. In your most difficult moments when you may feel as though you are doing everything “wrong,” I believe you have strengths and resources available to you, even if they have been hiding for some time or your whole life. We will work together to (re)discover them!
-
My primary lens is narrative therapy—the belief that the narratives we've inherited about ourselves can be examined and rewritten. I weave in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clarify your values and move toward what matters to you, somatic and nervous system regulation to address what your body is holding, and self-compassion practices to help you meet yourself with kindness rather than judgment.
