Therapists in Indianapolis, IN

When we experience things such as anxiety, depression, or a traumatic event, these things do tend to weigh us down and keep us from living the life we truly want. Although we want to see ourselves at our best, we may be ignoring the issues that are keeping us from that reality altogether. Therapy helps us work through those subconscious road blocks that are affecting us even in the most subtle ways. By using different modalities such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy or Trauma-Focused therapy, I collaborate with clients and couples by working through the blind spots of our mind together.

I support people who want to explore social isolation and confusion due to current social issues, body image and gender, relational wounding, disconnect, life transitions, aging, stress and trauma. I am also here for adult immigrants to the US to guide them through the challenging transitions they encounter and to explore their sociocultural identities within the present context of their life and their culture of origin. I also work with people who experience symptoms medically otherwise unexplained (brain fog, fatigue) that build on our unique neurophysiological patterns of reaction to stress.

Life gets hard, Life gets difficult, and at times, you may feel like everything you're doing is wrong. I am here to tell you that we all have our times where we feel this way and YOU CAN and WILL get through it. I am a mental & behavioral health provider and life coach with an extensive background in domestic violence, depression, anxiety, sexually abusive youth, play therapy, and much more. My focus is to provide services to families and individuals of all ages, from various communities who have found life's challenges to be overwhelming.

Do you take responsibility for other people's emotions and ignore your own needs? Are you feeling stressed, drained, and stuck?I help millennial high achievers, people pleasers, and perfectionists manage anxiety and find the parts of you that feel not good enough.

Do you find yourself emotionally stuck, no matter what you do? You may be fed up with dealing with the impact of trauma, feeling exhausted from managing anxiety, or stuck under the weight of depression. You might not even remember a time when things didn't feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you're ready for some relief. You're ready to be in control of your life. You're ready to be free from the burden you've been carrying. Most of all, you're ready to move forward with the plans you've always had for your life.

Life is a journey that we are not meant take alone. My approach is to walk alongside you to help address the goals you have. I seek to provide a compassionate, person centered, and warm space to allow you to address these goals.

Life can often bring challenges that can seem unmanageable. This can often have people feeling overwhelmed, lonely, anxious, and vulnerable. I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where I can help support you in navigating through life’s challenges. I believe in building upon the strengths of the individuals and families I work with and to empower them in being the best version of themselves.

I truly have a passion for counseling and want it to be a nurturing and valuable experience for you.

Do you feel as though no one understands you? Do you struggle with sleep problems and anxiety? Are you tired of feeling sad and depressed? My approach is to meet my clients where they are and work collaboratively with you to develop skills one needs to successfully navigate through life’s challenges, difficult relationships, parenting issues, grief and loss, as well as the emotional processing of trauma, anxiety and depression. I take the time to understand your concerns and issues without judgment. I provide a safe and comfortable therapeutic environment online and in person.

We offer a safe environment for you to share your story. People describe me as empathetic, compassionate and relational. As we work together, you can develop healthier coping skills and work through unresolved issues. I value the client/therapist relationship and provide space for clients to explore and give meanings to unconscious patterns of behavior.

Life often hands us challenges we don't feel capable of managing. Our thoughts, feelings, and expectations can be so overwhelming that they become obstacles to making decisions and living our lives to the fullest. Therapy is a safe environment to understand our thoughts and feelings, face pain and fear, and align our lives to our values. The freedom that comes from understanding and facing our challenges is well worth the effort. In treatment, I help cultivate an environment of trust and compassion to face and overcome life's challenges through an integration of CBT, ACT, ERP, relational, and dynamic therapies.
