About
The therapeutic relationship is the single best predictor of therapy outcome as well as the primary agent of change. I invite you to join me in an authentic, collaborative partnership in which we co-create a space in which you can feel safe to explore, identify, and ultimately change the intrapersonal and interpersonal dynamics that are producing distress and disturbance in your life. In this process, I will serve as an experienced guide and trusted companion on your journey of self-discovery with the ultimate aim of helping you reclaim authorship of your own life and enhance your capacities for joy, love, creativity, and play. I view the problems in living that typically bring people to psychotherapy - anxiety, grief, despair, guilt, self-doubt - not merely as symptoms to be reduced or eliminated, but as an indispensable communication, from yourself to yourself, that something within you is clamoring to be expressed, witnessed, accepted, and integrated. Let's listen attentively. I started Ripe Minds Mental Health to make depth-oriented therapy more accessible to the people of Kentucky. We are in-network with many insurance plans and are accepting new patients for in-person appointments in Louisville/Shepherdsville/Mt. Washington as well as virtual/telehealth appointments throughout Kentucky.
"I believe that therapy is more than a specific approach or series of sessions; it is a profound journey into the heart of what it means to be human. Through honest dialogue and reflection, we will uncover, explore, and courageously transform the stories that shape your sense of self. We will center the here-and-now therapeutic relationship as a catalyst for self-understanding and transformation."
