Seeking guidance and support during times of doubt or confusion is a sign of strength, and signals a desire for personal growth and understanding. You deserve to be the best you can be! My background and areas of interest include working in the areas of family dynamics, peer and couples relationships, living with and adjustment to chronic health conditions, loss and grief.

We are accepting new clients and have in-person and remote availability. Whether you, or a loved one, are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues or just need a place to talk, Pillars' holistic approach to health and wellness has a treatment option that can work for you. When we started Pillars we quickly realized that to best help our clients we needed to partner with clinicians with diverse backgrounds and skills. We have remained steadfast in our efforts to create a team of clinicians with a varied specializations, so that we can be sure to effectively serve our clients and our community.

There are many reasons people seek out counseling, but the underlying reasons are that we are looking for change, meaning, or healing. Whatever your individual needs may be, I commend you for taking the first steps in addressing your situation head-on. Each client is unique, and therefore, there is no one right approach that may work best for everyone. Because of this, I use a trauma-informed integrative style to give you, the client, space to be yourself in an empathic and non-judgmental environment.

My therapeutic style is grounded in cognitive behavior and solution-focused theories. As each client presents with unique concerns requiring personalized solutions, I believe in an integrative approach to therapeutic intervention specifically designed for each individual. As such, I incorporate therapeutic techniques from a number of orientations including but not limited to: cognitive behavior, solution-focused, person-centered, mindfulness, narrative, and strengths-based. I strive to create a calm and safe atmosphere in which clients feel comfortable sharing their story. I am experienced in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

We are a family oriented group practice comprised of several therapists with a variety of specialties, we offer in office, video and phone therapy sessions. We have therapists licensed in the following states: Indiana, Michigan, and Utah. We work with children, teens, adults and elderly adults in individual, couples, and family counseling. We work with substance abuse, trauma, grief, relationship issues, LGBTQ+, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and dealing with everyday issues and stress.

Do you feel that people in your life do not listen or hear you when you speak? Being understood is the foundation and the most important starting point on any journey towards healing. Once you feel safe and understood, we can begin trying new more effective approaches to address these problems. I have a vast breadth of experience in the mental health field, working with diverse populations from Hospital settings to Community Mental Health. I use an eclectic blend therapeutic approach that includes mindfulness, cognitive behavior, and strengths-based approach. My counseling style is supportive, caring, and compassionate.

The best place you’ll ever find for centering yourself and growing in awareness is right where you are planted! Challenges are part of every journey. What becomes most important in moments of difficulty is not pulling away or reacting in a way that “uproots” where you are, but responding right where you are in a way that is grounding. Cultivate roots of SELF-awareness & build a foundation of meaning & value. When a person is able to recognize other possibilities and make a connection with their true sense of self, a shift can be made in these moments, opening up new directions that become self-determined. Grow through life!

Accepting new clients in both Indiana and Michigan! I am a licensed Master's level Marriage and Family Therapist holding a M.S. in Human Development and Family Studies. I have experience working with individuals, families, and couples, with extra specialization in working with couples and trauma. Whether it is relationship conflict, infidelity, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem issues, behavioral or anger difficulties, parenting concerns, difficult life transitions, medical or other life stress- I strive to work together with my clients towards positive changes in their lives, and healing outcomes!

My practice creates a welcoming environment for clients. The key elements consistently present are a fostering of hope, optimism and safety that facilitates self-expression and self-understanding. There is a saying, “Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.” Life has its struggles and difficulties that come from multiple sources. Our past, our circumstances, even our own emotions and thoughts can cause us pain. How we respond to these struggles creates opportunities for growth and a lessening of our suffering.

I have exciting news! I have spent over a decade studying trauma, ADHD, autism and the effects of narcissist abuse. I have finally reached a place I always dreamed of. I am now providing quality, personal care for those having to pay cash. I want everyone to have access to the best care! I am able to cut my fee in half for those in need! That's less than the community health center is charging. You will be in the best hands and not just repeat your trauma over and over or do worksheets. This is true therapy; you will heal and be kept safe. No cancellation fee; life happens understandably.

We all have the courage within to make positive changes in our life. Let your strength guide you to taking back the life you deserve. My passion is driven by helping others realize their full potential. Identifying your strengths and using them to conquer life's curveballs is a powerful and fulfilling adventure.

Over the years and after receiving thousands of initial calls and emails from clients, it is clear that many are unsure of what they need or where to go. We find great pleasure in helping clients navigate this process. As a group practice we are able to provide services for a variety of needs: anxiety, addictions, pain management, depression, relationship issues, psychological testing, individual, life transitions and even helping clients who just want to live their best life! We stand out in our efforts to make this process as smooth as possible. Many providers boast about their training in a particular treatment approach (and this is important) but research suggests that the interventions are only part of the story. The fit between client and clinician, the wellbeing of the clinician, the ease of access and the experience of the treatment process matter as much, and sometimes more, than the particular treatment model used. Pillars of Wellness was founded with the hope of ensuring an ideal client-clinician fit and providing both clients and clinicians with a positive experience. We let our clinicians excel at their craft by giving them the space to create their ideal practice.

Hello! I am currently offering Telehealth and phone sessions. Are you interested in personal growth and healing? I believe one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is having the courage to look inward, while being compassionate with yourself so you can begin to move forward. I have been working with people for over 20 years towards (re)gaining mental and physical health through lifestyle approaches to wellness. I offer a research-based holistic approach, which looks at the whole person, while also integrating various therapeutic techniques to help you reach the deepest healing possible.

Please send an email for all inquires about taking new clients for the fasted response time. My approach is to support people towards becoming their authentic selves. I believe in a "person in environment" approach and have a holistic therapy style. I try to understand first and foremost that although your pain and experiences may be similar to someone else, that no two people are alike, therefore, the degree to which your circumstances effects you is unique and personal to you. My goal is to empower you to get back in touch with your needs, and find effective / healthy ways to get through difficult times.
