Therapists in Bloomington, IN

ACCEPTING CLIENTS As an LCSW for almost 20 years, I look forward to the opportunity to work with you on your goals. Each of us has the potential for positive change and it is often easier to achieve this with a therapist. I primarily utilize strength-based, systems, trauma, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I have experience empowering individuals facing grief & loss, addiction, MAT, trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, as well as other life stressors. Clients include teenagers, young adults, adults, and older adults."When we are no longer able to change the situation, we are challenged to change ourselves" V. Frankl.

As a counselor, I am committed to being present, open, and accepting with you. Much of my practice consists of helping clients heal from trauma. I also work with professionals who are over-stressed or who are adjusting to life with a mental illness or psychological injury.

No New Patients. I enjoy working with a variety of people and have extensive experience assisting individuals experiencing trauma related disorders, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I work with adults of all races, cultures, sexual orientations, gender orientations, and religions. I assist clients to explore ways stresses, traumas, and significant relationships have influenced them so that they may lead a more full, satisfying life. I'm an integrative therapist and am most influenced by EMDR, psychodynamic theories, and dialectical behavioral treatment. I collaborate with you to develop and pursue goals along the way.

As a licensed therapist for over twenty-five years, I specialize in working with the unique demands of administrators, faculty, and graduate students to reduce burnout and anxiety while creating sustainable work-life balance. Improve stress management and enhance productivity by learning tools to more effectively navigate the barriers of university and department politics, teaching vs. research, challenging students, service requirements, and publishing pressures. Additional specializations include anxiety, depression, reproduction and infertility, separation and divorce, parenting issues, medical advocacy, and narcissistic abuse.

~I am currently not accepting new clients~ Considering therapy is a courageous step to take, as it often seems easier to avoid what is uncomfortable than to face it. It is important that we develop a safe, trusting, and comfortable relationship as the foundation to address the issues that brought you in. I have 22 years of experience working with children, adolescents, families, and adults. My treatment approach is guided by family systems, insight-oriented, and attachment theories.

If you are struggling with sad feelings, wanting to feel less anxious or making dramatic changes in your life, or improve relationships, I can help. Together we can work through the tough stuff so you can start living a life closer to your dreams, one more in line with your personal goals and values. And I will be there every step of the way! Are you ready to make changes? We can work together via therapy where we review your past moving forward or via life coaching where we set up an action plan and help you find motivation within to accomplish your goals! Packages available for coaching!
