Therapy doesn’t have to be solely focused on pain and suffering but can also be a place to shine a light on the joyful parts of life. 

I’m a Marriage and Family Therapy Associate under the supervision of Dr. Justin Romney, PhD, LMFT. In addition to obtaining my Master of Science in Couple and Family Therapy from the University of Louisville in 2024, I received a specialization in Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania in 2020 and my BS in Psychology from Michigan State University in 2012. As someone who began therapy as a child for panic attacks and anxiety, I have always felt inspired to provide a space of safety and hope for others on their unique journeys. I hope to help you call upon your inherent strengths to move through whatever cycles are keeping you stuck in feelings of frustration or despair.

Therapy can be intimidating, so I commend you for taking these steps to care for yourself and your relationships. Life always ebbs and flows and there is no manual on how to get through challenging, new, or traumatic experiences. I believe that people are always doing the best they can, and I am here to support and gently challenge you to move through life in ways that feel the most in tune and aligned with how you want to grow. Therapy might look a little different for everyone, and we all have distinct ways of understanding our lives. Ultimately, I believe therapy can provide an intentional space to slow down and allow all parts of ourselves to exist freely.

I have clinical experience working with diverse populations in school, behavioral health, and university clinic settings and specialize in working with adults, couples, families, and teens. I rely heavily on feedback from my clients so we can collaborate in ways that will best suit the goals of you and your relationship(s). I can help with:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Life Transitions
• Relationship Conflict
• Family Conflict
• Parenting and Co-Parenting
• Grief

My approach to therapy is genuine, authentic, and truly centered around the relationship between therapist and client. I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities including mindfulness-based CBT, Structural family therapy, Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman Method, Solution Focused, and Art Therapy techniques. Additionally, I’m a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator and can help parents and caregivers gain tools to better understand and connect with their children.
