Therapists in Oaklandon, IN

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've worked with clients impacted by a multitude of struggles and have assisted in their battles against depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma and relationship challenges. Clients with whom I've developed a trusting therapeutic relationship with have varied in age, race, gender, sexuality, religion and culture. Every client is different and every situation is unique and treated as such. You are the expert of your own life and I'm here to work alongside you to navigate it.

Life can often feel like a roller coaster. The pressure to perform in various areas of life can feel heavy and difficult. We all have personal and relational things impacting our lives no matter what stage of life we are in. I understand that it's difficult to ask for help and yet I know from personal experience the first step toward healing can be reaching out to someone who is able and willing to listen and walk the journey with you for a time.

We all experience emotional ups and downs from time to time caused by events in our lives or even a recent diagnosis. I specialize in assisting those who suffer from depression, anxiety and addiction. Your symptoms may be triggered by job loss, relational problems, trauma, divorce or even loss of a love one. Your symptoms may effect your relationships with your family, friends, classmates or co-workers.

While I am specifically interested in guiding children ages 3-11 who present with trauma, mood disorders, and/or disruptive externalizing behaviors towards a place of emotional regulation, I have worked with adolescents, adults, and adults older than the age of 65.

My journey toward becoming a Marriage and Family Therapist has been shaped by a genuine desire to contribute to the well-being of families.

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.

Are you feeling depressed, anxious, and not sure where to turn or what to do? Over the years I have worked with individuals who experience depression and anxiety while having gone through emotional, verbal, and physical abuse myself, I am able to empathize and understand those who are dealing with depression and anxiety from life's experiences.

My approach is to understand my client through a complete history of childhood and adult experiences so that we can together explore how the client perceives the world. Sometimes experiences can cause clients to be anxious, defensive or make poor choices. I hope to help clients see how these approaches may have been useful in other times in life but may be less useful now. Sometimes a new approach to thinking is helpful. Other times insight and being understood can promote change.This approach also works with both parties in a couple to help regain trust and form new ways of relating.

Come as you are. I have many years of experience working with people and have seen people travel from brokenness to restoration. This isn't the end of your story. It takes an incredible amount of courage to face things in life but you don't have to be alone. I know that it can be scary to walk into a therapy room and share things that require great vulnerability. Lack of self-love. Infertility. Pregnancy Loss. Postpartum Depression. Guilt/Shame. Life Transitions. Identity. Marriage and Family Issues. Whatever you're facing, I would love to help you find healing.

I know that seeking help is not a comfortable space for many. I believe in the resiliency of every individual and appreciate the uniqueness of families. It is humbling to partner with you or someone you love as we address issues that cause distress and play out in different aspects of life. Our shortcomings are many, our strengths enormous, and our weaknesses reveal our humanity, regardless of life experiences, ethnicity, culture, age, religion, or sexual orientation. I am passionate about helping and supporting families and individuals find healing through approaches in my clinical training to help toward wholeness.

Most of struggle at one time or another with feeling down or anxious. Sometimes those feelings can become overwhelming and may require extra support. Whether it's family crisis, chronic pain/illness, job stress, trauma, relationship conflict, or mental health challenges, you may find yourself feeling isolated, unheard, and invalidated. You might struggle in finding a way to cope. This is where I can help. Through therapy I can provide a fresh perspective and help identify maladaptive patterns that may be interfering with your ability to live a peaceful and fulfilled life.

As an adult trying to navigate this world, you often find yourself wondering why everyone else seems to have it all figured out while you are struggling. Maybe you can't connect with your partner or you feel labeled by your family and are struggling to find who YOU really are. You hear advice from all different directions and have tried so many different things and nothing seems to be working. You feel defeated- and now it has become a cycle that is just getting worse. Maybe you can't sleep well or you're feeling disconnected. Imagine waking up tomorrow and feeling like you had a better sense of direction. What would that feel like?
