Women's Issues Therapists in Bloomington, IN

"I am not currently accepting new clients" Experiencing distress as a result of depression, anxiety, strained relationships, PTSD, women's issues , child sexual abuse, behavioral concerns or issues related to military service? I invite you to contact me to schedule an initial assessment. With more than 10 years experience in mental health services I have worked with many individuals & families to decrease their symptoms, improve their functioning and strengthen their relationships. I would like to help you too. I am a graduate of the University of Missouri-Columbia and licensed in the state of Indiana.

I help clients build insight about the barriers keeping them from the life and connection they desire while also developing the tools necessary to make empowered and lasting change. My supportive yet direct style is authentic and compassionate while also being appropriately challenging — creating space for the self-exploration that allows clients to build positive internal & external relationships and experience foundational healing. This collaborative process deepens clients' self-understanding in order to connect them with their own wisdom and ability to navigate life's many challenges and maintain meaningful connections.

Schedule today! Accepting new clients. In-network with many insurance companies and Medicaid. First, I would like to take a moment to applaud you for taking this difficult first step in the change process towards a healthier more positive you. Finding the right person to help you make these positive changes can be challenging. I am here to be your change facilitator, your partner for becoming the person you want to be. If you’re looking to meet your potential, deal with a crisis, address relationship issues, mental health issues, addiction, depression, anxiety, self-esteem/image issues and more I can help.

My goal is to empower individuals in achieving our fullest potential by providing an environment where they can feel heard and understood, and where they can work towards personal growth, self-awareness, and healing. ​I believe in the importance of treating the whole person in a holistic approach to healing. Whether talking about anxiety to depression to specific life stressors to complex trauma, I'm here to walk alongside individuals as they identify their paths forward in an enriching and centered life. If you need to schedule afternoons & evenings, those times are available

As a therapist, I partner with the person I am working with so that we can collaboratively explore options that may fit your needs and bring you where you want to be, and how you want to be in your life. I am available for TeleHealth Sessions throughout Indiana. If you are wanting to tackle issues such as Addiction, Codependency, Trauma, Sexuality, Unmanageable Stress and Anxiety, Feeling Intimidated by a Life Transition ("What is next?") or Feeling Stuck and wanting to make Personal or Career Changes we may want to meet. I use Brainspotting & talk therapies as well as a variety of other treatment methods like CBT DBT.

I enjoy working with both complicated mental health concerns, and generally healthy people struggling adjusting to their ever-changing lives. After identifying your goals in therapy, I will support you in understanding and overcoming barriers to these goals in the context of your life, mind, and body. The exploration this entails will help you generate self-compassion while accomplishing meaningful change. Your initial goals will be the focus of this exploration, but clients often achieve even greater change as well. I have particular skill working with personality disorders, sexual concerns, LGBTQ+ issues, and existential issues.

I have been specializing in the treatment of individuals with eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and other eating related concerns since 2009 and am passionate about what I do. I work from an integrative approach and often use methods from cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, and interpersonal theories. While I specialize in eating disorders as the focus of my work, therapy will also address related issues such as anxiety, depression, and family concerns, as these are often deeply intertwined with the eating disorder.

We are dedicated to helping our clients reach their mental health goals through evidence-based therapies. Our team is composed of experienced, knowledgeable professionals who excel in providing quality care. We understand how difficult it can be to take the first step towards seeking help. That's why we strive to make the process as easy and non-intimidating as possible. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or any other issues related to your mental and emotional wellbeing, we are here to provide compassionate assistance throughout your journey.

**I am currently full and unable to accept new clients. Hope to have more availability soon**I have a warm, collaborative working style that integrates a systemic theoretical orientation (understanding people's lives in the context of biology, relationships, work, and larger social/cultural systems) with highly individualized, evidence-based treatment. I enjoy working with people across the lifespan, from adolescence through older adulthood. I have extensive training/experience in the areas of family therapy (e.g., Functional Family Therapy), parenting, co-parenting through divorce/family disruption, trauma, and developmental challenges through adolescence and emerging adulthood.

To the outside world, it may appear that you have it all together, yet no matter how hard you try you suffer from anxiety, self doubt, people pleasing, burn out, and guilt when putting your own needs first and something needs to change. I believe all humans innately have within themselves everything they need to heal and make these transformations. My role as a therapist is to bring light to those parts of yourself which have been blocking you from making changes and step into a life of wholeness and authenticity.

Beginning the process of healing can be intimidating, and I’m passionate about creating a safe, comfortable space to begin that work. I offer telehealth sessions to anyone living in Indiana, and specialize in complex trauma, depression, anxiety, and life transitions.

Key components to my practice include engagement, meaning-making, understanding your values, and self-acceptance. I believe that life tends to parallel therapy; therefore, I wish for you to be an active participant in therapy just as I wish for you to be actively engaged and connected in your life. Emotions are also core to understanding ourselves and our spheres. The wisdom of the body flows from and informs each of these elements of therapy. (See my website for more information.)
