I am focused on assisting clients on their personal journey to finding inner peace and balance in their life while using a collaborative approach. I value and respect that each client is the expert in their own needs. I hope to help assist clients build their confidence level, improve self-care, increase coping skills, and develop independence to achieve their short and long-term goals. I, also, understand the importance of obtaining fulfilling relationships and recognize the impact that our family systems have on our mental wellbeing.

Life these days can be hard overwhelming with its everyday stressors and anxiety. Do you struggle with pain from the past and are having a hard time moving forward into the future? Do you have children who are struggling with ADHD/ADD and ODD? Do you need someone to help you sort the spinning thoughts in your mind? Do you struggle with current relationships due to trauma from the past? Do you feel like you are going crazy at times and people just don't understand you? If so, I may be a good fit for you! I work with anyone starting ages 5 and up.

Healing is hard. It takes time and has its ups and downs; healing is not linear. I am here to be with you through all of those times and help guide you through change. I specialize in young adults and adolescents. I enjoy helping my clients untangle their thoughts and recognize intense emotions. Transitions aren't easy at any age, and I'm here to help with that!

Do you feel lonely in your marriage and wonder how you got here? Are the demands of raising a family wearing you out? Is your child developing behaviors that concern you? Do you feel crushed by shame and worthlessness? Do you feel like you are just going through the motions of life - existing but not really living? Are the worries of life gradually eating away at your ability to function? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by seeking professional help.

I have experience helping children, adolescents, and adults with issues including depression, anxiety, adjustment and marriage/relationship issues. I am well versed in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). Whether you are struggling with pressures of life or marriage issues my I believe that there is hope if all involved parties are willing to work on related issues and are engaged. I have the benefit of being both a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and an ordained minister, both in the state of Indiana. My caring and compassionate spirit helps me see each client in a similar and relational manner.

(PLEASE NOTE: I have a long and slow-moving wait list) Hello! I have enjoyed working as a licensed clinical social worker and clinical addictions counselor for over 20 years. I have a wide range of skills that include, but are not limited to, improving coping skills, stress management, relationship enhancement and managing moods. In addition to these interests, my passion includes working with children, adolescents and their families. I use play and sand tray therapy to compliment the therapy process, allowing children to express themselves, while including the caregivers and siblings, to help the entire family reach their goals.

My ideal client is ready for some change. My ideal client is open to ideas and willing to give input. I love working with (newly coupled), pre-marital couples and with the empty-nesting couples...and everything in between. I'm also drawn to those who just want to keep a good check on their relationship as it goes. As well, I work with couples experiencing some bumps in their journey. I like to see people willing to try something new as Brainspotting is really taking off. I have also found that I am a good match with middle-aged people, especially those who are not 100% sold on therapy yet.

As an adoptive parent and former foster parent, as well as a professional in the field of foster care and adoption, I have a huge heart for the struggles of foster and adoptive parents. I see their need for someone to talk to who understands how difficult and yet rewarding is our calling to love hurt children. I offer trauma-focused therapy to address triggers resulting from parenting children from hard places. I am a TBRI educator and can also assist with implementing effective parenting strategies. In addition, I enjoy working with seniors as they (we) navigate the challenges of aging and addressing the needs of this time of life

I work best with clients who are open to reflection and exploration, both inside and outside of therapy. I encourage clients to integrate change into their own personal life based off our work in-session. I have experience with topics including but not limited to processing trauma, learning to cope with anxiety or depression, identifying and adjusting negative interpersonal patterns, and more. I am flexible and open to expanding my knowledge on my clients' presenting issues. Clients who are willing to go on a journey to make changes (even small changes) toward healing, would find support and encouragement in the space I provide.

I am deeply committed to guiding individuals through the process of healing and reclaiming their lives. Many of my clients experience depression, anxiety, dissociation, and difficulties with emotional regulation. My journey into the field of therapy began with a profound fascination for the resilience of the human spirit and a genuine desire to make a positive impact on the lives of those who have experienced difficult life events. It is my hope that together, we can build a foundation for healing, growth, and a renewed sense of hope.

We are a group of therapists with years of experience walking with people through the difficulties of life. Our wide ranging specialties and training provide our patients a unique group of professionals to assist you. It is an honor to meet people where they are and start the healing journey together.

I love working with individuals that wish to take action to improve themselves. Regardless of their mental health concerns or the catalyst that led to change. If you are feeling lost or unsure where to go, having a guide can help with that. If you are feeling anxious, worried, or feel as though you need to do some general processing, you don’t have to do it alone. Once we work through whatever is holding you down, you may be surprised with how free you will feel.

I whole-heartedly believe in a wellness/wholeness approach–healing of the mind, body, & soul. I'm committed to giving you a safe space to unburden your heart, explore the root of your pain & struggle, support your healing journey, & provide tools to help create the future you deserve. Choosing to work toward a healthier life & healthier you is an act of self-care you should be proud of! I understand seeking support typically happens when problems feel larger than what we believe we can handle on our own. You are not alone! I promise to listen intently & give you the space, understanding, empathy, & acceptance you need.

Are you struggling to embrace why you were created? Are you needing to be empowered to experience freedom from addiction, pain, abuse, and trauma? My experience has primarily centered around males, from childhood up through adulthood, who have dealt with depression and anxiety, traumatic relationships, crisis interventions, and various forms of addiction.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and transparent. I use the skills and experiences I've gained to help clients achieve their own goals. Instead of curing mental health I believe in helping people understand and manage their issues in sustainable ways. Since I use a lot of metaphors in therapy, the one I use to illustrate and describe my therapeutic process is likening it to a home improvement. My job is to help clients explore and find the right tools for their unique improvements and provide guidance so clients have support while making lasting changes they want in their life. The toolbox can then be used outside of therapy.

My heart is to help individuals and families in need. I am passionate about helping the broken, the lonely, and those in pain. I believe in a person-first approach in which we work together to help address needs and solve problems.
