Philosophy

Therapy is serious work. I don't think that means we have to be serious all the time while doing it.

I've always been interested in relationships—not only relationships between people, but the relationships we develop with ourselves, our histories, our communities, and the different parts of who we are.

My training as a Marriage & Family Therapist is rooted in systemic thinking: understanding people within the context of their relationships, experiences, and environments, rather than viewing them as collections of symptoms in isolation.

I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and an appreciation for the complexity of being human. While my work draws from several therapeutic traditions, I'm less interested in fitting people into a particular model than in discovering what becomes possible when we slow down, pay attention, and relate to ourselves and others differently.

Training & Background

I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Kentucky and have completed Level 1 training in Internal Family Systems (IFS).

My work also draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy, attachment theory, mindfulness-based approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Narrative Therapy.

Rather than adhering rigidly to any one model, I take an integrative approach informed by systemic thinking, relational experience, and the particular needs of the people I'm working with.

This is much closer to something I'd actually want a prospective client to read. We can still refine it to sound more distinctly like you, but it removes the unfinished editorial instructions immediately.

You don't need to know exactly where therapy will lead before starting. Curiosity is enough.
