Are you feeling stuck in your healing journey, progress in therapy or life in general? I specialize in supporting people who are ready to take a different approach to therapy that gets to the root cause of your symptoms.​

​Rather than focusing solely on a diagnosis, we will work together to understand the origins of your suffering and then co-create an actionable path towards both healing and living a more meaningful day-to-day life.

I have over five years of experience working as a psychotherapist and social worker and received my Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Louisville. I am also certified as a mindfulness meditation teacher through Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield’s two-year teacher training program and have experience supporting people who are engaged in changemaking of all sorts, including activists, non-profit leaders and folks working in caring professions.

Focus Areas

I have over four years of experience supporting people through all of life's challenges, including:

• Anxiety: generalized, social, phobias, panic, impacts of political instability and climate/eco anxiety

• Trauma: acute stress, PTSD, developmental trauma and complex trauma (CPTSD)

• Depression: major depression, persistent depression, Bipolar II, PMDD

• Life transitions: grief, family planning, career, gender affirmation, existential questioning, spirituality

• Relationships: couples counseling, non-monogamous relationships, queer relationships

Approaches to therapy

I take an eclectic approach to psychotherapy that includes a mix of integrative, holistic and evidence-based techniques:

• EMDR: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (basic training completed in 2024)

• MBCT: Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy

• ACT: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

• IFS: Internal Family Systems (and other types of 'parts' work)

• MI: Motivational Interviewing

Fees, Insurance and Scheduling

• I offer remote 50-55 min sessions Monday-Thursday mornings for clients who reside in Kentucky, Virginia and Vermont.

• My base rate is $130 for private pay, with several sliding scale spots available upon inquiry. I offer couples counseling for $130 with sliding scale spots available as well.

• I am currently in-network with Aetna, Cigna and United (Optum) commercial insurance for KY, VT & VA only. I can provide a Super Bill for out-of-network reimbursement for other insurances. Unfortunately I am not able to accept Medicaid or Medicare plans at this time

Think we might be a good fit?

I am committed to creating a welcoming and culturally sensitive space, including offering gender and poly affirming care. I view myself as a partner on your healing journey and bring warmth, compassion, humor and candor to every session.

If you feel like we could be a good fit to work together, I encourage you to reach out to schedule a free 15 minute consultation or initial session.
