In person and telehealth therapy for adults in Franklin, IN.
Clients come to me looking for someone who “gets” their story. They want relief from daily symptoms of anxiety and depression as well as a never-ending struggle with people pleasing and perfectionism. Therapy should be a place where you feel safe to be your authentic self and supported every step of the way.

I offer both in-office and virtual sessions on the world's softest sofa.
My passion for supporting individuals struggling with mental health challenges, addiction, trauma, or crisis led me to pursue the path of becoming a therapist. In today’s busy and unpredictable world, it’s easy to lose touch with what’s most important to us and feel disconnected from our values and sense of self. Factors and events outside of our control can contribute to mental health struggles and addiction. I believe that rediscovering who we are at our core empowers us to use our values and unique strengths to navigate life’s highs and lows.

It could be that you have been considering therapy for a while or a family member could benefit from therapy and you are unsure if it is worth the time, energy and money. It could be you have thought about starting therapy many times before now and have looked at many profiles.
Many people hesitate over therapy for weeks or even years before they choose a therapist to contact. In the meantime, they may suffer unnecessarily and feel increasingly alone with their problems.

I allow the client to chose the setting for their therapy session, whether it is in office or teletherapy.
Image a life that allows you to move forward, experiencing all life has to offer to it's fullest. Change is possible and through the guidance and support of therapy, one can maximize all that life has to offer. Change lies within each of us, and with personal responsibility and direction one can achieve life goals. The potential of any individual is determined not by past struggles but in one's ability to overcome personal struggle and capitalize on one's inherent resilience. With guidance and direction, one can move out of the shadows of the past, into a vibrant, hopeful future.

I am offering sessions in-person and virtually, through doxy
Life can be difficult. At times, we are confronted with painful experiences we would rather avoid. And because we don't deal with the discomfort those situations bring, we keep ourselves stuck - still experiencing and enacting the pain we are trying to avoid. I see psychotherapy as a liberating journey through which we are able to transcend the emotional discomfort painful occurrences bring with them, while learning to relate to our life stories in such a way that they no longer keep us hostage. Through this process, psychological and spiritual growth occurs. Let me walk with you.
