My approach is warm, direct, practical, and collaborative. I help clients not only process emotions, but also understand why certain patterns keep happening and how to create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we focus on building emotional awareness, healthier coping skills, nervous system regulation, and stronger relationships.
Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, attachment wounds, self-esteem issues, or difficulty managing intense emotions. I work to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, understood, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
If any of this resonates with you, I’d be honored to support you in your healing process.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right couples therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Lexington
Finding couples therapists in Lexington starts with identifying what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples therapy and marriage counseling can support concerns like communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, and parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in working with couples, so it can help to look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list couples-focused approaches, such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy, in their profiles.
In Lexington, your options may include therapists with offices near downtown, the University of Kentucky area, or surrounding neighborhoods, as well as therapists who offer virtual appointments. Finding one therapist who fits both partners’ schedules can take planning, so consider appointment times, session format, and whether the therapist is accepting new clients. Some therapists offer a brief phone consultation, which can help both partners ask about the therapist’s approach to couples therapy before booking a first session. Reading profiles can also show how a therapist structures sessions and supports both partners in the room.
Couples therapy in Lexington can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. Headway lets you search for therapists who offer couples therapy or marriage counseling in Lexington, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
