Therapists in Auburn, IN

I love working with people who feel like they are doing the best they can, but it's never enough. Being truly understood by someone is healing. A lot of times others have a hard time getting it. It's hard enough to find the good in this world, without adding anxiety, depression, and trauma on top of it. It never gets old watching someone who is worried, on edge, and irritable, learn how to relax and enjoy life.

I work with individuals or couples using a problem solving approach where we work together collaboratively as a team to resolve issues and concerns using online questionnaires where appropriate and helpful.

I use a strength based approach to help clients overcome life's hardships.

Life is full of unexpected challenges. How well or poorly we handle these challenges affects our confidence, self-esteem, and how we navigate through day-to-day life. If you’re struggling, it’s not your fault. In my practice, I specialize in working with adults with career and life stressors, who have experienced trauma, are navigating life adjustments, and facing relationship conflicts and infidelity. If you are looking for someone to navigate this journey with you and teach you skills to foster your own resilience along the way, give me a call.
