I believe therapy should be real, not stiff. Therapy with me is collaborative, honest, and human. My style is relaxed, warm, direct, and funny when it helps. I work with people navigating grief, life transitions, self-esteem struggles, chronic health diagnosis, complex family dynamics, marital challenges and complicated expectations placed on women. We will sort though what's heavy, challenge the narratives that aren't' serving you and help realize a life that feels more like your own. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and working towards growth.

Your therapy is not about me, but in today's climate most people want to know the values of their therapist. I bring a commitment to social justice and equality into my work. This perspective helps me create a space where clients feel seen, respected, and understood within the full context of their lives.

Therapist

I work with teens and adults who are dealing with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, shame, guilt, self-doubt, substance use, and painful relationship patterns. Many of the people I support feel stuck in survival mode. They may be having nightmares, flashbacks, anger outbursts, self-harm, low self-worth, codependent patterns, or the constant feeling that they are doing everything wrong. Some are trying to heal after domestic violence, sexual abuse, addiction, or other painful experiences that changed how safe life feels. My goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and more able to imagine what comes next.

If you've been putting off therapy — telling yourself you'll handle it on your own, or that it's not for you — you're exactly who I'm glad to work with. I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 22 years of experience, and I help adults get to the root of what's actually going on and do something about it. Whether it's anxiety, depression, anger that's costing you, the weight of past trauma, stress that won't let up, or questions about identity and who you are, I'll meet you head-on and help you build a real way forward.

I work with a lot of men and people from diverse backgrounds who want a therapist they can be straight with — someone direct, who respects your time and helps you see results, not just talk in circles. That's the work I'm built for.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Louisville, KY

When you’re searching for OCD therapists in Louisville, the most useful first step is finding someone with specific training in obsessive-compulsive disorder care. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, checking, counting, reassurance seeking, or avoidance. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one approach some therapists use to support people with OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare options, look for therapists who name ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy for OCD, or related OCD experience in their bios.

Louisville offers a balanced mix of in-person and virtual therapy options, so your search can include both office location and schedule fit. A therapist near your neighborhood or commute may work well for in-person sessions, while virtual appointments can expand your options across Kentucky. Pay close attention to whether a therapist lists OCD as a general specialty or describes direct experience with ERP. That difference can help you identify a stronger clinical match. Provider bios can also show session style, therapeutic approach, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Therapy in Louisville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket session cost. Headway helps you find OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, with many providers accepting insurance and showing estimated costs before you book. You can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
