Are you struggling with PTSD, intrusive memories, avoidance, hypervigilance, or emotional numbness after a traumatic experience? I specialize in working with veterans, first responders, and adults across Indiana and Illinois impacted by trauma. If you feel stuck reliving the past or disconnected from the life you once had, healing is possible with the right support and evidence-based treatment.
I am a Christian clinical psychologist trained in CPT, EMDR, PE, and other trauma-focused therapies proven to reduce PTSD symptoms. Together, we will safely process traumatic memories, reduce avoidance patterns, and build practical tools to restore stability, confidence, and control.
Recovery from trauma takes courage—but you do not have to do it alone. I provide a structured, collaborative space where you can regain the life trauma has disrupted. If you’re ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out.

I specialize in treating PTSD with a primary focus on trauma recovery. Along the journey to healing, comorbid conditions such as panic disorder, addiction, dysregulated emotions (fear, anger, guilt, shame), and grief & loss are addressed as secondary conditions to PTSD. Most of my clients will see improvement in symptoms within the first month and many will find recovery in this episode of care.

I use a shared decision model to determine best fit for therapy. Together we will decide, based on your PTSD symptoms, which treatment will be most beneficial for you. Most of my clients choose between EMDR, CPT, and PE; these are VA Goldstar treatments for PTSD. During our first session, we will discuss your options to help you make the most informed decision as the first steps toward healing.
