My approach as a board certified art therapist is to use creative and sensory exploration to navigate deeper feelings when words are difficult to articulate. Art therapy is ageless; any age can benefit with no artistic skill required! Some challenges I help children process through include: anxiety, trauma, ADHD, school related issues, and divorce. I also offer the option of traditional talk therapy to work through parenting, pregnancy, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Parents talk through discipline, bonding, anger, and building trust with their kids. Tele-therapy is also available for Indiana and Illinois residents.

I see children and adults who might struggle with financial stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship difficulties, sibling/family changes, social skill challenges, fertility/adoption, and grief/loss.
I specialize in working with teenagers and adults at the many different stages throughout their lives. I have experience working with adults navigating adulthood, relationships, and parenthood. Different stages of life bring adjustments that can be challenging at times. One of the challenges we face is navigating the emotional complexities surrounding money. Financial therapy is the study of cognitive, emotional, behavioral, relational, and economic parts of financial wellness. It is the point where finances and mental health merge and can potentially cause stress.

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.

I have been working with children and their families for over ten years.
It takes courage to make that first phone call to establish a therapy session and it takes even more courage to meet that therapist being vulnerable in discussing your concerns in this life. My goal when I meet every client is to support them in discovering how to make this life worth living. Many individuals go through life just coasting day by day trying to get by minute by minute. While I can not give you a magical solution to take care of all of life's problems, I can be there for you, listen to you and guide you towards living the best life you can live for you and your family.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Indiana provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time (likely in fewer than six sessions), the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Indiana build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
