"That which is most personal, is most universal." (Henri Nouwen) You are not alone and you do not have to figure it out on your own.

Welcome! I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Indiana and I provide ON-LINE SERVICES ONLY. I received an M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis in 2003. Since then I have worked in various capacities in the mental health field in several states. It’s so rewarding to help people navigate their struggles and learn new skills to help them move through life more easily. My favorite moment in therapy is when something finally clicks for the client and all of the sudden a shift occurs. After being stuck and in so much pain there’s finally a new path that brings hope.

Thank you in advance for your understanding. Are you seeking to redefine your romantic and personal relationships? Do you desire to become your best self? Are you ready to discover and live out your passions? Elite Therapeutic Solutions, LLC is designed to help you live your best life today. Let us help you achieve your goals, desires, and passions.

In 1987, I helped develop CenterPoint Counseling. I currently serve as their Executive Director and we have a staff of ten therapists. I am trained as a Marriage and Family Therapist and licensed as both a Marriage and Family Therapist and Clinical Social Worker. I also have a Doctorate in Pastoral Care and Counseling and am ordained as a Presbyterian Minister (P.C.U.S.A.) I am on the National Registry of Marriage Friendly Therapist. I work with individuals dealing with anxiety and depression issues. I see couples, partners and spouses and am certified as an Imago Relationship Therapist.

A trusting therapeutic relationship is essential for treating a variety of psychological issues. I pride myself on utilizing my clinical training on a variety of psychotherapeutic techniques/interventions suitable for each individual I work with. The process of psychotherapy is to be consistent, patient and enlightening, whether the individual is in childhood or adulthood. Assisting an individual through the process of Self discovery is an honor and a privilege.

"Time and again you have shown me unyielding patience and compassion, allowing me to experience what's possible in connection with others, and help me discover new parts of myself that I've integrated over time." - L. H.

Lives Transforming is a Christian counseling service that offers a grace based environment, free of judgement, to help clients find spiritual and mental health. We have a number of counselors that specialize in different areas but our most prominent counseling areas are marriage and family, adolescents, anxiety, and addiction.

Experienced in helping individuals and families struggling with addiction,substance abuse, individual and family therapy to a fresh start. I've worked with families experiencing anger,battery,sexual victims to name a few. We as a team can achieve goals.

Many of the people that I see are at differing stages, transitions, struggles and journeys within their lives. Each of you have a unique set of needs and personal journey that prompted you to take this step. I have over 15 years of experience and enjoy working with children, teens and adults and provide individual and family therapy. My goal is to tailor the therapy session based on your identified goals and needs. I provide a safe, supportive, confidential and trusting environment that allows you to express, explore or gain desired insight into yourself, others or relationships or what your personal therapy journey may entail.

I'm excited to work with individuals, couples, and families who are interested in discovering more about themselves and their relationships. These discoveries can be used to bring positive changes in the lives of adults, adolescents, and children who are finding new ways to manage today's issues and build strategies for a healthy future.

Are you, or a loved one, looking for a new approach to handle the stressors of today's world? Have you tried therapy before with minimal success or insufficient progress? Do you find yourself reacting to, rather than responding to, your loved ones? Are you interested in trying one of the most focused, effective and efficient treatments available to clinicians right now? Based on the most current neuroscience and psychology, Brainspotting (BSP) allows you to tap into and harness your body’s own natural healing abilities. Our bodies have these amazing capabilities—they know how to heal themselves!

I believe that in order to be happy and healthy, we must nourish the whole person. As you begin your journey towards healing, I recognize the courage it takes to come in for help. My goal is to help you discover your true potential, and form healthy relationships along the way. I strongly believe that each individual holds the power to change and create the life they desire. Together we can work to identify problem areas, understand current behaviors and beliefs, and define your values. It is my primary goal to create an empathetic, safe, and collaborative relationship with my clients so they can flourish.

Do you feel a sense of hopelessness and disconnection in your relationships? It is possible to restore hope, peace, and deep, loving bonds again. I specialize in helping individuals, couples and families strengthen connection by stopping the endless cycles of negativity that disconnect them and cause hopelessness so they can identify their underlying emotions and unmet attachment needs. Once connection is felt and hopelessness reduced, they find freedom and safety to work on creating healthy patterns of interaction again.

I have been working with individuals and couples for 20 years. Many of the clients I see suffer from depression, anxiety, work issues, and relationship issues (including communication problems, feeling disconnected, infidelity, and divorce). I help clients find new ways of coping, seeing and thinking, and relating. Although I am knowledgable and skilled in several therapeutic methods, I don't believe in "one-size-fits-all" therapy. Instead, I adapt my treatment plan to meet the needs, goals, and personality of each client.

One of my greatest passions is to embrace ourselves where we are, while also committing to change. I firmly believe that our capacity for joy relates to how we move through suffering and difficult emotions. Offering kindness to ourselves and others along with allowing emotions instead of avoiding, deepens life experiences. This type of space encourages an understanding of your story while actively creating the future you see for yourself. I hope to provide a safe, trusting environment where you can explore the areas of desired change and growth. Our partnership can help navigate the journey with authenticity and courage.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Addiction Counseling from Indiana Wesleyan University. Additionally, I obtained my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Indiana Wesleyan University. I have clinical experience working in predominately residential and outpatient settings. I commonly work with adolescents, adults, and families pursuing recovery from alcohol and/or other substance abuse issues. My focus and clinical interests center around the following: improving marital satisfaction and connection; depression; anxiety; increasing self-esteem and self-worth; trauma; increasing family cohesion.

For the Highly Sensitive Person and/or Empath the world can be an overwhelming place. These individuals are “super sensing,” and absorb more sensory and energetic information than the average person. Loud noises, large groups, and energetic overload are land mines we train ourselves to dance around. Years of taking in this level of input without self-compassion and understanding often leads to symptoms of anxiety and depression. It is by increasing understanding and developing compassion for our experience of the world that we can begin to experience the depth of living our sensitivity offers.
