Therapists in Indianapolis, IN

"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.

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.

I enjoy working with clients to help them improve their relationship issues, feeling disconnected, family dynamic issues, changing behaviors, loneliness, hopelessness, emotional pain and traumas. I use a holistic approach looking at the whole person: mind, body and soul. I feel it is an honor to be involved in helping clients improve their spiritual, emotional and mental wellbeing.

I am a Licensed Social Worker with a passion for decreasing the stigma surrounding mental health and promoting the health and well being of my clients. For my undergraduate degree, I moved from Central Jersey (Yes! It exists!) to South Jersey to attend Stockton University. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work with a Minor in Behavioral Neuroscience from Stockton, and then moved on to attend graduate school in Philadelphia. I received my Master of Social Work Degree with a clinical concentration from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice in May of 2020.

My hope is that through my direct style of therapy, I can help you find your way to a more fulfilling and authentic life. I believe that my clients are most successful when we can establish an open and honest therapeutic relationship. I want to work alongside you and possibly your spouse, children or family to pursue a healthier approach to life.

Are you hurting, feeling tired, lost or stuck, or perhaps struggling with a personal issue or in your relationship? With compassion, hope and inspiration, I want to help guide you in overcoming past and current issues to make your future happier and healthier. Therapy is a journey that evolves with us working together toward common goals and exploring issues to promote your growth and healing. Together, we will develop useful techniques and insightful feedback for changing what can be changed, and learning to cope with what can't.

I believe in creating an open and non-judgmental space where clients can feel safe to unpack and share their stories, find ways to cope with stresses, and navigate life’s challenges. I see individuals, couples, and families of all ages. My approach is a client-centered, creative, and collaborative process that incorporates elements of mind- body-spirit to promote full-person well-being. I work with my clients to develop a unique treatment plan to best fit their individual situations and needs.

Sometimes in life, situations beyond our control throw us off the path we expected to follow and we don't know where to turn next. It is often at these crossroads where we find the most meaning. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and young adults who find themselves at this unique place. I am here for clients who have had negative experiences in life and are just not sure if they are ready to trust again. I am passionate about helping those with traumatic experiences, family conflict, identity struggles, rejection, or low self-esteem. Together we will explore your story and tap into your inner power and resilience.

Feeling stuck in your life? Has your relationship lost its spark? Are you frequently fatigued? Loss, anxiety, depression and miss-communication can take away the spark. Make a commitment to restore the magic in your life.

Are you feeling lonely in your relationship? Are you lacking meaning in your daily life? Have you been having the same arguments over and over again? Do you feel disconnected from yourself and/or others? Are you looking for someone to hear your story? I would love to have that honor and carry the hope for you until you can pick it back up again. We are given the gift of one another in our marital and family relationships to love and support us through our daily journey. We are part of a system that forms and challenges us. I can help you improve communication, intimacy, and family interaction while working through emotions.

As a therapist, my goal is to provide a safe space for exploring and facilitating change through support and empathic listening so my clients can work through life's challenges with the goal of improving their overall mental and emotional wellbeing. I believe in a collaborative and integrative approach which is tailored to the needs and strengths of the individual, couple, or family.

If anxiety gets in the way of you living your day to day life, especially within the context of your relationships, I am here to tell you that you are not alone. I hope to help you feel more balanced in your identity as together we build a solid foundation of love, care, and kindness for yourself that can help positively impact the relationships that are most important to you. I enjoy working with people in all walks of life, but find many folks who walk through my door want to improve anxiety or depression symptoms as they are getting in the way of them living their fullest lives with their partner or family.

I help people who are suffering, lost in emotional distress & pain. Clients work with me to heal from emotional, sexual, & physical trauma, loss, or a dysfunctional family of origin. I guide & support clients on a journey of insight, as they face emotional pain that refuses to be ignored. I see clients come out the other side with greater self-worth, grounded by confidence in themselves, discovering new opportunities while creating a fulfilling life in which they can thrive. Good therapy starts with genuine compassion and acceptance. These are core values of my practice & my life.

My specialty for the past 46 years has been children and adolescents with emotional, behavioral and neurological issues. Due to my experience I'm able to use multiple approaches and modalities that I formulate to the specific issue presented to me by my clients. I attempt to collaborate with the appropriate people and family members in the child's life to assist in a team approach. I'm somewhat nontraditional in the sense that I have many different recreational activities for the child that are integrated into the treatment process.

Life often hands us challenges we don't feel capable of managing. Our thoughts, feelings, and expectations can be so overwhelming that they become obstacles to making decisions and living our lives to the fullest. Therapy is a safe environment to understand our thoughts and feelings, face pain and fear, and align our lives to our values. The freedom that comes from understanding and facing our challenges is well worth the effort. In treatment, I help cultivate an environment of trust and compassion to face and overcome life's challenges through an integration of CBT, ACT, ERP, relational, and dynamic therapies.

The path to healing is a spiritual, physical, and psychological process. Utilizing an integrative approach, my goal for every client is to help them discover healing through an intimate relationship with Christ. Together, I will walk with you as you discover areas in your life; in your thought processes and in your relationships, that require understanding, encouragement, and awareness in order to arrive at true healing.
