I am able to provide treatment for children and adolescents with harmful sexual behaviors in the state of Indiana; I have had my CSAYC since 2016.
Life does not always go according to plan. It takes courage and strength to admit it is time to seek help when you or your loved one is in need of support. An investment in a therapeutic relationship can allow you and your family to find a healthier way of interacting with one another and the world around you. I have the privilege of working with individuals and families navigating challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, family conflict, and sexually maladaptive behaviors. Hope is possible.

One specialty of mine is working with children who have behavioral or emotional concerns.
I assist children, adults, couples, and families in addressing the concerns that may be holding them back from the life they want. It is a fact that if our needs are not being met then we don't function well at home, school, work, or socially. I empower clients to meet their needs in healthy ways to live more fulfilling lives.

As a therapist, I bring a wealth of life experience as well as over 15 years of professional expertise with children in various settings, particularly those within the foster care system.
Consistent with several views expressed within the field of Positive Psychology, I believe in focusing on an individual's strengths and virtues to help individuals and families thrive. In addition to this approach, my collaborative, non-pathologizing style utilizes the inherent virtues of growth and change within individuals and families, allowing for a deeper understanding of each client's unique processes and functions, setting the stage for clients to develop self-agency and become the experts in their family system.

I see adults, couples, children and adolescents.
My approach is to understand my client through a complete history of childhood and adult experiences so that we can together explore how the client perceives the world. Sometimes experiences can cause clients to be anxious, defensive or make poor choices. I hope to help clients see how these approaches may have been useful in other times in life but may be less useful now. Sometimes a new approach to thinking is helpful. Other times insight and being understood can promote change.This approach also works with both parties in a couple to help regain trust and form new ways of relating.

I provide services for individual adults and children, couples and family therapy, parent-child therapy.
Most of our life’s challenges involve relationships. The ability to develop and maintain healthy relationships is an indication of psychological health. This is true in personal relationships as well as professional relationships. But as we all know relationships are complicated and often confusing. In our current climate we rely more and more on our devices to be the means in which we communicate. As a result we encounter more conflict with decreasing levels of satisfaction and fulfillment. We also are noticing decreased levels of social comfort. In general, life is significantly more complicated. I’m here to help guide you.
