Therapists in Brownsburg, IN

*Not currently taking any new clients.* I have been in the field for about 15 years with a majority of my experience being in the field of addictions, working with adolescents, adults, families, and couples. In working in the field of addictions, there are many factors that envelope a person's ability to cope with life. I understand that asking for help can be difficult and identifying a need for change can induce some fears. I can help you identify any changes that are needed and offer encouragement and support through your journey of self preservation.

There have been times in my life where I've looked around and realized that I am not where I want to be and understand how lonely and frustrating that can be. There are many things that get in the way of us reaching our full potential. It may be that we are stressed and unsure how to deal with life experiences or just an overwhelming sense of fear or sadness. Whatever the reason, my hope is to help support and encourage you to understand yourself better and how to best respond and cope with life's emotions and situations.

Problems at school, feelings of sadness and confusion, emotional and behavioral outbursts, and withdrawing from people and activities are common concerns seen in children. Adolescents often experience problems at school, at home, and in social settings, causing feelings of isolation and poor decision making such as drinking, smoking, and skipping school. I work with children and adolescents to understand the root causes of their feelings and actions and to identify and implement appropriate coping skills.

I am a licensed mental health therapist specializing in individual and group-based therapy. I have a Bachelors in Psychology and a Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology. As a therapist, I assist my clients in working towards the goal of recovery and showing that recovery is possible through hope and empowerment. At The Willow Center, we believe in the power of change and that people can successfully recover with proper treatment from addictive behaviors. As part of The Willow Center team, I am passionate about the work we do and am willing to go the extra mile for clients to have a better quality of life without substances.

There are many reasons why someone might want to come to therapy. Are you feeling sad, worried, irritable or angry most of the time? Maybe it just feels hard to regulate your mood. You may have experienced trauma. You could be going through a difficult time in your life due to stress, grief or life changes. Your relationships with your friends or responsibilities at school might feel overwhelming or hard to manage. If you're a parent, you might notice these changes in your child or teen. Any of these situations can leave you feeling lonely, stuck or hopeless. I am here to help provide compassion, hope and trauma-informed care.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed, stressed,depressed, or hopeless? Do you need to make some changes in your life, but uncertain where to start? Are there painful issues from your past which are still affecting you? Are you dealing with grief issues, but feel that no one understands? I will provide compassionate support, identify core issues and develop a plan to get you on the road to a happier, more satisfying life. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma or other issues, there is hope for a brighter future for you!

Are you finding it difficult to manage your moods, feeling sad, irritable or angry most of the time? You may feel that your worry is unmanageable. You may be going through a difficult time in your life due to grief or life changes. Or you may be noticing some of these issues in your child. There are many reasons to seek out counseling, each of them valid.

Are you a woman feeling stressed out, exhausted, and over committed? Are you worn out from trying to be perfect? Feel like you're at a breaking point and things have to change, but aren't sure where to even start? That's where I come in.

Ever feel like the "real you" is buried under substance use, relationship drama, distractions, or obligations? You are not alone. I support clients as they uncover their true nature and inner wisdom.

I enjoy a variety of clients with all sorts of different backgrounds, goals, life experiences, etc. My role as a counselor is not force upon an individual a certain way of thinking, feeling, or even believing rather it is to meet a client where they are and help them to get where they want to be. I enjoy clients that are willing to be open and vulnerable with me, a privilege I do not take lightly, as I know it is difficult to come into the therapeutic space, but I by no means find that an essential trait. Some of the clients I have enjoyed working with most have not always embraced the therapeutic process.

I believe that each person that comes to see us is wanting to make some change or is worried about someone important to them. I believe that a person can live a meaningful life despite some circumstances such as developmental disability, chronic illness/pain, depression, anxiety, or life stress. My goal is for persons that walk through our doors to feel that they have made the right decision to seek out something different and to "find someone to talk to". I hope that you will consider working with myself and our fantastic staff!

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 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.
