The world is a broken place and my goal is to help clients walk through their brokenness in order to thrive.

I work with individuals and couples, teens and children with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues.I know that clients want to see progress even though it may be incremental. Therefore, I provide for a collaborative structure, plan and goals that allow clients to see progress every week. I provide resources, homework, and education to my clients to help them in the process of self-discovery and addressing relationship issues. I help clients to find solutions to solvable problems and develop coping skills to address issues that are harder to solve.

Is shame preventing you from fully experiencing life? Do you keep falling into unhealthy relationship patterns? Are you looking for a therapist trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help you overcome past trauma? If these questions resonate with you, I am ready to walk with you along your healing journey. I utilize a variety of approaches, including but not limited to, person-centered, EMDR, Trauma Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and The Gottman Method to meet the needs of my clients. I am licensed as a Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Clinical Addiction Counselor (LCAC) in Indiana.

Foundational to my practice is the belief that relationships are central in both our wounding and healing. Through providing a safe environment grounded in equity, mutual respect, and a sense of shared purpose, together we will work to support you in your journey towards greater growth and self-discovery. You are the expert in your life, and I am here to meet you where you are and walk alongside you in your process. I work with people of all ages, from young adults to seniors.

I have always had a passion and a deep respect for humanity, for learning about others, for appreciating the differences and personal histories, and for discovering how individuals' values drive their own power to heal themselves. As a therapist, it is my privilege to be a mere facilitator of the discovery process. I look forward to aiding the change process in its many forms and in the time frame that you--the individual—desires and determines. With 15 years of experience in the field, I feel that I bring experience but also a fresh perspective of how to help.

Not accepting new clients at this time! I believe that many people reach a point in their lives where they feel overwhelmed by life. This could be triggered by the loss of a job, a struggling marriage, family issues, or a personal battle. It can be hard to reach out for help. Sometimes it may feel easier just to withdraw or isolate, mask, or even ignore the problem. I've learned that while these may help temporarily, they don't make the problems go away. The best thing we can do for ourselves is to seek help and guidance through counseling.

Welcome. If you're here right now, you're probably longing for more peace and joy, but the worry and sadness keep eclipsing your ability to feel good. Perhaps you're successful in many areas of your life but continue to have a nagging feeling that you aren’t enough. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed by distressing emotion and painful memories. Perhaps you and your partner are stuck in the same argument loop and are wondering how to feel passion and ease in your relationship again. Or maybe you are a therapist who wants to work through some personal issues or needs guidance to prevent or heal from compassion fatigue.

I have a belief that guides my approach in helping others: "We have to learn to live life on life's terms". Life gives us all kinds of experiences, hardships, and also successes, all of which make up how a person thinks, manages feelings, and relates to the world now. I believe that mental health symptoms and issues are a byproduct of how people try to make sense of or cope with what they have experienced, or are experiencing, on their own - and with the "tools" they have and how to use them. People intuitively know when they are not living their best life (on life's terms) and they seek help when new skills and "tools" are needed.

It is frustrating to feel stuck. It is painful to feel alone and misunderstood, even if you are in a committed relationship. It is exhausting to fight your own thoughts. The questions that you are asking yourself right now show that you have the strength needed to heal and to grow.

I am delighted to work with individuals, couples, and families to provide counseling for various concerns such as anxiety, depression, OCD and Bipolar Disorder, personality disorders, marital and family systems. My emphasis is on joining all where they are while providing compassion, safety, and positivity in sessions. Additionally, I have specialties with gifted and talented individuals, Autism a Spectrum Disorders, and family therapy for aging populations

I believe in order to be happy and healthy, we must nourish the whole person. As you begin your journey towards healing, I recognize the courage it takes to come in for help. My goal is to help you discover your true potential, and form healthy relationships along the way. I strongly believe that each individual holds the power to change and create the life they desire. Together we can work to identify problem areas, understand current behaviors and beliefs, and define your values. It is my primary goal to create an empathetic, safe, and collaborative relationship with my clients so they can flourish.

I have been working with individuals and couples for 20 years. Many of the clients I see suffer from depression, anxiety, work and relationship issues (including communication problems, feeling disconnected, infidelity, and divorce). I help clients find new ways of coping, seeing and thinking, and relating. Although I am knowledgeable and skilled in several therapeutic methods, I don't believe in "one-size-fits-all" therapy. Instead, I adapt my treatment plan to meet the needs, goals, and personality of each client.

My ideal client wants to process thoughts and feelings! He or she might feel stuck and wants help sorting things out to find clarity and move forward. My clients typically want to explore relationship issues, life's direction, sense of self, and new coping strategies. Are you feeling overwhelmed by an issue, thoughts, stress, anxiousness, and/or a relationship you’d like to improve? I'm here first to listen as an unbiased partner, and to help you sort through and reframe confusing or otherwise unhelpful thoughts/feeling patterns that might be obstacles in your path to self-acceptance, health, joy, and well-being.

Feeling disconnected from your spouse? Want to improve your sexual relationship or intimacy? Does your relationship feel stuck or unsatisfying emotionally and sexually?

Struggling to overcome an affair? Looking for help with non-monogamy, kinks/fetishes, or LGBTQ issues? Navigating solutions to these issues can feel overwhelming and difficult. Rest assured that you can have a stronger, more connected, sexually fulfilling life and relationship.

Difficult seasons are impossible to avoid, therefore, I am passionate about providing the tools necessary to weather the storms of life. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families struggling with communication, financial issues, relational conflict, emotional abuse, anxiety, depression, grief, career decisions, women's issues, spirituality, and self-esteem issues. I am also committed to providing a warm, empathetic environment with the highest level of respect and confidentiality for my clients. I'm also an AAMFT Approved Supervisor and can provide support for aspiring LMFT-A or LCMHC-A clinicians.
