Teletherapy for Avon, IN

NEW CLIENTS Welcome! Telehealth Video & Phone Sessions Available By obtaining and maintaining optimum mental health you will be better equipped to deal with life challenges even during uncertain times. I firmly believe everybody has the ability to change and grow positively no matter what their present circumstances may be or what their past may have included. Often, by making only a few small changes in one’s ways of thinking and behaving their quality of life can greatly improve in a short time period.

I love working with clients across the lifespan. I see children as young as elementary school and work with clients/families up into the time of death. I have provided many of these services in-person in a hospital or home care setting working 9 years in hospice and in oncology programs. Supporting folks during their grief, whether due to changes in the life cycle, chronic illness, and terminality is my specialty. I also personally am a guardian and caregiver for my parent who lives with Bipolar Disorder and advanced Alzheimer's Disease, so I bring several years of personal advocacy and practice experience based on this role.

Sometimes we all need a moment... just to be heard. Life can get overwhelming at times, and we forget that we are only human, and sometimes need a little help to navigate the challenges. Whether you are facing a life crisis, relationship issue, or serious mental illness-- there is a way back to happiness and well-being. Let me help you find that path.

As a therapist, I work with male clients who are dealing with a wide variety of mental health issues. My specialty is in the areas of parent/teen relationships, teen behaviors, and men's issues. Are you a parent looking for solutions to the torn relationship you have with your teen? Are you a man trying to figure out how to balance life's problems without losing yourself altogether? You want solutions to these issues so you can find peace in your relationships and peace within.

A common phrase I hear is "I just feel stuck." The people who say that know there is something better out there, but they don't know how to move in that direction. My role is to help you better understand yourself, heal from whatever life has thrown at you, and make the most of who you want to be. Many people reach out because their lives seem to lack meaning, they don't feel worthwhile, they find some challenges overwhelming, or they just don't seem to feel joy from their relationships or activities. That's where we begin the work. We start where you are.
