Therapists in Hamilton County, IN

Helping others feel more empowered to manage their mental health is my passion. Using a person-centered approach, my practice emphasizes providing evidence based therapeutic interventions guiding teens and adults through the fog that has been weighing them down, in a compassionate and non-judgmental, safe space.

Each and every single person on this planet has the ability to change his or her life- it simply takes the correct approach to unlock it. Figuring out this approach can sometimes be incredibly difficult, hopeless, infuriating and a multitude of other not-so-pleasant adjectives. This is where therapy can help. It cannot erase what happened in the past. It cannot magically make the future pain-free. It can however critically analyze and assess the present and identify ways to move forward and pursue the life you wish to live.
