Can't get a break from anxiety or depression? My specialty is helping clients notice old patterns that keep them stuck. Once we accept & understand our experience, then we can work towards change. Most people may not realize the root cause of their constant worry, panic or sadness, that's why I'm here to help so we can both discover what's holding you back from feeling healthy. CBT, mindfulness, EMDR & psychodynamic therapy are approaches that can help us become aware of areas that keep us stuck. Healing our hurts opens us to new ways of thinking & responding to life, inviting us to notice possibilities rather than limitations.

Therapy can be a very personal journey and it takes a brave person to reach out for help. Over the years, I have seen how beneficial therapy can be when a client and therapist come along side one other and work together to solve problems, develop insight, and attain goals. What I have learned is that an empathetic, non-judgmental environment can bring about feelings of safety and lay the groundwork to do some very important therapeutic work. The therapeutic environment is very important to healing and the therapeutic relationship is a crucial part of this process.

Thank you for having the courage to be here on this page. If you are here, you have already taken one of the most important steps in the healing journey. You have recognized that healing needs to take place in an area of your life. My goal is to assist you on that journey to becoming the best version of yourself you can possibly become. There is no perfect life, but every life has purpose. Life sometimes presents us with barriers to achieving our purpose and my job is to help you learn and utilize skills that will help you cope with life challenges.

Hello, I'm Sara. You're probably going through a rough time, and I'm glad that you're making yourself a priority. I have 12 years of experience in behavioral health with individuals, couples, and families needing support through complex life problems. I recognize how difficulties in emotional health can impact all life areas, and limit one's ability to grow into the person they're meant to be. I am experienced in treating a variety of issues in children, teens, and adults. I specialize in trauma resolution, sexuality and gender identity, women's issues, and enhancing wellness practices.

Life can be wonderful and exciting, challenging or scary. As a therapist, it is my goal to help you work through all of life's ups and downs, with strategies designed to most effectively help you achieve greater well-being. I believe that therapy is a relationship for growth and a partnership between the client and therapist, where together we work towards achieving your goals. I will work to help you expertly navigate your challenges such as processing difficult emotions, learning healthy coping skills, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation of yourself, enhancing your self-esteem, and building satisfying relationships.

I am a forensic and clinical psychologist specializing in forensic psychological evaluations, testimony, and consultation. I am board certified in forensic psychology by the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP). My forensic evaluations involve juveniles and adults that focus on risk assessment and management (violence, sexual reoffense, domestic violence), personal injury, competency to stand trial, and criminal responsibility (insanity defense).

Do your options seem limited? Do you need help to sort things out, make sense of your emotions, or see the situation differently? We may be overwhelmed, feel inadequate or out of control. We may believe that the future is bleak or hopeless. We may be upset with others, afraid of loss, or change. We each have more ability and control over our lives than we know. We can learn to soothe ourselves, remain calm and clear-headed when we face challenges. We can solve problems and effectively negotiate our relationships, but we all need help at one time or another.

Are you feeling stuck? Having difficulty keeping up? Wanting to make a change but don't know where to start? Change can be scary, and even more intimidating if feeling overwhelmed or alone. But change is possible, offers an opportunity for growth, and there is always hope for a better future. I have years of experience working in inpatient and outpatient settings with individuals of all ages and families of all backgrounds. I offer a calm, warm, nonjudgmental space where issues of all types and sizes may be explored.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor at KC Mental Health Counseling, LLC. I provide a warm, calm, and inviting atmosphere that is conducive to providing a well-rounded approach to therapy. One of my goals consists of helping people understand the “Why” of their situation and address them in a healthy manner. While we can’t change the past, it is my desire to provide you with the knowledge and skills to address, work through, and discover the root cause of the issues or challenges that you are facing. I believe that it is an honor to work with you through your journey to become the best you mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

I know that reaching out is a challenging step. Whether you feel anxious, depressed, mentally exhausted, disconnected, are struggling with addiction, or just need someone to talk to; I am more than happy to connect with you. The first and most important step for successful therapy is connection. For this reason, my first priority is creating a space where you will feel safe, secure, and respected. I want you to open up on your own terms and in your own time as we build trust together. Whenever you feel comfortable, we can work through and overcome any challenges you’re facing.

Life can be difficult. At times, we are confronted with painful experiences we would rather avoid. And because we don't deal with the discomfort those situations bring, we keep ourselves stuck - still experiencing and enacting the pain we are trying to avoid. I see psychotherapy as a liberating journey through which we are able to transcend the emotional discomfort painful occurrences bring with them, while learning to relate to our life stories in such a way that they no longer keep us hostage. Through this process, psychological and spiritual growth occurs. Let me walk with you.

I treat issues that are related to OCD as well, including perfectionism, trichotillomania, excoriation, nail biting, tics/Tourette Syndrome, and hoarding. The treatments I offer are evidence-based treatments for these concerns, including acceptance and mindfulness, cognitive behavioral, habit reversal, and exposure therapies. I trained with leaders in these treatments, have published on these topics, and have trained other professionals in these areas.

**Teletherapy offered for anyone in Indiana** I work with adults and children of all ages and social backgrounds, affected by traumatic events or possible stress due to unexpected life changes. I specialize in relieving anxiety and depression symptoms such as repetitious behaviors, excessive worry, low self-esteem, and an overall feeling of not being in control of one's life. My approach is primarily through using a Cognitive Behavioral model (CBT/TF-CBT) with a strength based and collaborative approach; however, I include educational and alternative interventions to treat the whole person, based on your specific needs and wants.

I enjoy working with clients that have a motivation to move their life in the direction of growth. I want to help people that feel stuck in their lives to find the deeper meaning they desire.

I have a warm welcome for those of the LGBTQ+ community along with open relationship structures/polyamory.
