Women's Issues Therapists in Carmel, IN

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.

I want to start out by saying that I'm looking forward to meeting you and working on the issues and goals that brought you into my office. I am extremely passionate about what I do and love my job! It is my belief that everyone has significant strengths and abilities to heal and get to the place in life where they want to be, but sometimes you just need a little bit of help. I use a strengths-based approach and also help clients look into where their issues are coming from instead of just trying to put a Band-Aid on the problem.

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.

I have worked in the field of addiction for the past 21 years and in that time I have developed an eclectic, "meet you where you are" approach to therapy. I am trained in EMDR to address a variety of issues including trauma and have additional training in transpersonal EMDR. Most substance abuse is a symptom of underlying trauma. Having witnessed the rewarding miracle of recovery, I believe everyone is capable and deserving of healing. I bring to my private practice a vast array of experiences to help you on your recovery journey whether that's in a 12 step program or through transpersonal energy work.

I desire to provide a safe space for people to be authentic and real, without fear or judgment, to help facilitate change and work towards restoring hope. I also desire to help others gain healing, transformation, and wholeness, integrating faith as clients desire.

Approaching clients with compassion, a desire to connect, and with truth and grace is what I bring to each session. I counsel clients with eating disorders, body image concerns, and those who are desiring to move towards acceptance and care of their current bodies. In addition, I serve clients experiencing daily stressors including relationship challenges, problems at work/school, and possible difficulties juggling a work/school-life balance. Assisting clients to learn new tools and build upon their strengths as well as to provide comfort and guidance in life's painful and rewarding moments is why I do what I do.

**Not currently accepting new patients** Seeking therapy can be a difficult decision to make; this choice can be further compounded when life doesn’t seem to be going your way in the first place. Exploring and researching options for psychotherapy is an important step in initiating meaningful change into your life, so be encouraged that you have already begun the process. As a psychologist, my first goal is always to create an alliance of trust, comfort, and collaboration. A sense of safety fosters emotional expression that leads to the creation of achievable treatment goals and ultimately therapeutic success.

The world is a broken place and my goal is to help clients walk through their brokenness in order to thrive. I cannot take the pain away, but I can walk with you through it and give you tools to take with you on your journey. I have a heart for good marriages and want to encourage you as a team in order to work together and not against each other. Relationships are vital to our community and our health and my desire is to empower you to build long lasting healthy relationships.

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.

One of the hardest things a parent can experience is watching his or her child struggle with difficult emotions and relationships. If you find your child is increasingly sad, overwhelmed, frustrated, worried or angry, you are not alone. I have over 20 years of experience working with children, parents and adults in both education and counseling. I use play therapy for children between the ages of 3 and 12 as a powerful tool for processing cognitive, behavioral and emotional challenges. I also work with parents to provide creative parenting strategies, connection and support.

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.

Hello! Reaching out for help esp when feeling vulnerable & w/ unknowns, takes courage. The individuals that gravitate to my practice struggle w/ general anxiety, panic attacks & disorders, adjustments, self esteem, past trauma/s as well as low mood. What contributes to this is different, individual to individual. Together, in a private, comfortable setting considering your readiness/pace, we explore this & strategize. Growing trust & our relationship as well as providing psychoeducation are fundamentals of my work. Finding what helps you reach your goal/s is my top priority.

Many of us want to live life more fully and be more connected in our relationships. Yet, often it feels so hard to navigate just how to do that--especially when we go through loss, transitions, disappointments, stress, or events that seem to disorient us and/or our relationships. I believe the therapeutic space is powerful & transformative. My therapeutic style is to offer a safe, authentic place where you are valued for who you are & where you are seen for more than just the issues that bring you into counseling.
