Teletherapy for 46530

I offer therapy/counseling for couples, marriage, and individuals. I believe I am present for my clients to help them through marital or couple issues, and trauma. The struggles are real in a relationship or marriage…. feeling disconnected or disengaged, no communication or arguing, or just having doubts? Maybe you are just looking to improve your relationship or marriage. I can help you with your marital and premarital counseling to improve your relationship. I have over ten years experience.

Are you looking for a companion on your own journey of becoming? Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, a significant life transition, identity and spiritual issues, or relationship issues? Perhaps you simply desire more wholeness of mind, body and spirit. Or perhaps you are LGBTQ and want an affirming and knowledgeable therapist. If you benefit from talking with someone with clear thinking, excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to adapt to your unique needs and style, please call me. I work with individuals 14 and older and couples.

When you experience either depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma or severe life stressors, it is not uncommon for your life to unravel or feel a sense of loss of control. Today more than ever before, due to the pandemic, people are struggling with mental health and wellness. Ignoring your mental health needs can have a negative impact on your personal relationships, physical health, and increase the risk of injury and/or disease. It is my passion to help bring healing to people who struggle with their mental health or have been through traumatic and/or stressful experiences. I am here to join you in your journey to wellness!

Are you feeling stuck with depression, anxiety, or trauma? Are you overwhelmed with your physical health challenges or day to day stressors? Are you grieving a loss or having trouble with a major life change? I am passionate about helping individuals thrive and am looking forward to meeting you and learning how we can best work together towards your goals. I enjoy working collaboratively with my clients and tailoring my treatment approach to your specific needs and your personal and cultural background. I strive to foster an inviting and affirming environment for all my clients.

Have you felt that your words, your opinions, your feelings, frustrations, hopes and dreams have all been silenced and forced down deep within you, as you learned to believe they were no longer important? Have you been struggling to discover your purpose or to reignite a passion that once existed? Have you been distancing yourself from relationships and activities that you once embraced and found joy in?

As therapists working in this community for the last 20 years, we have seen first-hand the impact of unprecedented demand for mental health services. People seeking help are finding that many therapists do not have availability, are operating on a lengthy waitlist, or require an ongoing commitment. Research shows that one or two therapy sessions are sometimes all that someone may need to feel better. Time To Talk is our answer to this problem, and a way to bridge the gap in our community’s current service model. You pick the problem - we'll work on a solution together!

I believe that we live in a society that talks a lot about love, yet we rarely agree on what it truly means, or how to define it. Teaching others how to love one another better is my life commitment. Focusing on couple's work has taught me a lot about myself, about life, about love, and about what it means to really love someone else. I also work with women, trauma survivors, and those experiencing spiritual life questions. I believe we are all trauma survivors to some extent, and that affects the lens in which we view our world. It is my approach to help my clients explore and broaden their view.

The pressure to succeed, need to “keep up,” fear of missing out and desire for good relationships and work satisfaction can all evoke strong emotions. However, society teaches how to block and avoid them. We do it quite well: alcohol use, drug use, screen time...there are a multitude of ways to avoid our feelings. When we do acknowledge them, we swat them away with mantras learned since childhood (“Mind over matter,” “get over it” and “suck it up”). Thwarting emotions is not good for mental or physical health and emotional avoidance comes at a cost.

Can't stop worrying? Is it hard to make or follow through on a decision? Do you notice that you're angry more often? I offer a caring compassionate approach to help people with everyday problems and worries. Finding practical solutions that work for you to help end worries or fears, melt downs and to take control of bad habits. I work with you to build on and develop skills that complement the strengths you already have to achieve your life goals.

If you’re struggling with substance abuse, compulsive gambling, or out-of-control sexual behavior, the first thing I want to tell you is that you are not hopeless, and you are never alone! As long as you’re willing to reach out for help, I have faith that a peaceful, free, and happy life can be yours again — or maybe, for the first time ever. I’m an addiction specialist who knows what it takes to recover, because I walk that path myself, every day.

When thinking about my "ideal" client, I don't have any specific person or problem that comes to mind. I believe that each person has their own unique life and experiences and that a therapist should be willing to work with them to discover their issues, needs, and goals as the therapeutic relationship is built. Every relationship in life is based on trust, so I would say that I would want my clients to trust me enough to let me in and begin working on their individual selves.
