I view therapy as an encounter and corrective relational experience: establishing trust, risking vulnerability, honoring your story, and healing in connection with God’s heart.

I graduated from Campbellsville University (in my hometown of Louisville, KY) with my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy following my graduation from Samford University (Birmingham, AL) with my Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies and Religion. In my graduate experience, I worked extensively with college students around issues of identity; depression and anxiety; mood disorders; anger management; life transitions; family, friend, and romantic relationships; self-harm; and core beliefs. I also worked in an in-patient eating disorder facility with clients suffering from acute forms of anorexia nervosa, bulimia, ARFID, and body dysmorphia.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, working with women towards wholeheartedness and a life of freedom. I desire to collaborate with my clients from a place of genuine connection with each other and the Holy Spirit as we build uncover your truest self in Jesus, heal wounds, and release the effects of trauma in your body, soul, and spirit.

I facilitate sessions as an encounter between you and the Trinity, knowing that God is the only One Who can heal and produce lasting change. I empower you to run your race and walk the Narrow Way with your lamp full and burning (Matthew 25). Together with Holy Spirit’s guidance, we eliminate the “stuck” places holding you back from the Abundance Jesus died for you to have.

Therapeutic Models that Inform my Work:

I practice Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), which proposes that we each are composed of many unique inner parts of self. As the Trinity is three in one and we are made in His image, so we too are one while also containing multiple parts- body, soul, and spirit. I love helping my clients identify their wounded and protective parts of self and compassionately unburden those parts stuck in unhealthy roles.

I also offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for the reprocessing and healing of traumatic memories, phobias, chronic pain/illness, and anxiety-related disorders. This model helps to “retrain the brain” and offer us a different physical and emotional relationship with the trauma in our lives. Trained by Susan Reed, LCSW-S.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the vehicle for healing and transformation! I don’t offer traditional “talk-therapy,” but enjoy providing corrective experiences where we talk to what’s occurring in your internal world with Father God, not just about it. Therapy is a safe “laboratory” to practice new patterns that transcend the therapy room.

My Background:

I possess clinical experience in a residential eating disorder facility with in-patient clients of all ages, a university setting with undergraduate and graduate students through a variety of topics, and multiple years in a private practice setting working with women of all ages and stages of life.

What to Expect:

Once you have scheduled a session, you will receive an emailed link to a client portal containing intake paperwork covering policies and procedures, as well as assessments for you to complete. This paperwork is to be filled and submitted at least 24 hours prior to the first session so I have time to pray over your information and prepare for our meeting.

Therapy is not a “one-size-fits all” approach, especially with the involvement of Holy Spirit. I enjoy collaborating with clients to help identify roots of their pain points and redemptive ways to move forward. Therapy can occasionally feel worse before it feels better as we uncover these roots and heal them in curiosity and relationship. Therapy is an investment in yourself and the Kingdom of God.
