We all deserve a place where we can feel safe and supported. Through my practice, I aim to provide a genuine, non-judgmental, and empathic space for you to explore your concerns and work towards your personal goals. I believe that therapy is meant to help people learn more about themselves and their experiences. I work collaboratively with clients to share their thoughts, process their emotions and experiences, develop insight, improve their relationships, and build skills for managing distress.

Traditional therapy models do not always resonate with people nowadays. Mindfulness training, on the other hand, if taught and utilized correctly, is just as effective today as it was thousands of years ago. Controlled breathing can calm us during a busy day at the office. Non judgmental awareness can help us be more patient with ourselves and our families. Meditative techniques such as one-pointedness can improve our focus and clarity. Despite several misconceptions, mindfulness is a practice that we can ALL readily access. I would be happy to help you get started. Schedule your free consultation today at www.mindflo.net.

Reaching out for help is hard, especially in our most vulnerable moments, so I work hard to make therapy a comfortable, approachable, and worthwhile experience for my clients. I work with clients experiencing issues like depression, anxiety, and self-esteem issues, trauma, and much more. For those experiencing trauma, I'm a trained EMDR therapist with experience helping individuals heal from the negative beliefs that they’ve taken on, and the traumatic experiences they’ve had in life. Whatever you may be going through, I'm honored to join you on a journey of healing.

I believe all people generally have the resources to help themselves, yet sometimes simply need a safe, trustworthy professional to help work through issues, identify goals, make healthy decisions and take steps necessary to live life more fully. I use an integrative approach that draws largely from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), solutions-focused and cognitive behavioral theories. I recognize and respect the fact that individuals have widely varying perspectives and needs. Lastly, I am fully virtual and offer either phone or video sessions.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker. I earned my bachelor's degree in History from Taylor University; a Master's degree in Student Personnel Administration in Higher Education from Ball State University; and a Master's degree in Social Work from Grand Valley State University. I have over 25 years of experience working in counseling, training, higher education, non-profit administration, and financial planning. My experience as a clinical therapist, has spanned over 23 years. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, addictive personalities, spiritual issues, financial issues, and cognitive restructuring.

Working together in a collaborative, non-judgmental and client centered manner helps create change and growth. If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, self worth/self esteem problems, addiction, or have difficulty managing your relationships, I can work with you to identify healthy ways in which to cope and better manage your emotions. Together we can identify ways to help make healthy lifestyle changes both emotionally and physically. I encourage a holistic (mind, body, spirit approach to treatment. As you become more aware of your strengths you become more confident in yourself and your abilities.

I view therapy as having three heavy hitters: 1) EMDR - to neutralize strong negative emotions around adverse events (big & little traumas) and 2) Understanding loss and how to release it by feeling it and then not going back to think about it and 3) Learning how to have an attitude of healing and letting go. These culminate in living an empowered life which results in having a calm confidence. My clients set weekly goals and amaze me with their determination and willingness to go the distance to grow, mature and experience full healing. My teachings and handouts are creative and original.

There is only one time that is important...NOW. It is the most important time because it is the only time that we have any power. You just want to feel happy, healthy, and confident. Instead, you often feel overwhelmed, unsure, or disconnected. We go through life managing internal struggles, while attempting mental gymnastics to navigate our circumstances. However, we cannot solve our problems with the same thinking that created them.
