Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Crown Point, IN
You've already tried everything and still feel stuck. You're beating yourself up because you should be able to "fix" everything on your own. There is real strength in asking for help. Working with a professional can make all the difference.
I believe in doing what works, not just what's expected. Working with me means you won’t get a one size fits all, by the book approach. I’m not afraid to rethink what therapy is supposed to look like.
I offer the opportunity for something different. Hands on care. Extra support. Alternative locations. House calls. Therapy when you need it, where you need it, and how you need it.

My ideal clients feel alone behind their walls. Hyper-Independent Women are exhausted from carrying everything themselves. They are resilient but lonely, struggling to be vulnerable or receive support. They want to trade self-reliance for deep, secure connection without losing their strength.
Parents of Struggling Teens are worried and heartbroken. Their teens, often labeled as problematic, are acting out or withdrawing due to past trauma. These parents want a roadmap to de-escalate conflict, rebuild trust, and restore peace and connection in their home. Both seek a safe space to heal, be understood, and build a future with meaning

Managing past experiences of pain and difficulties and/or current issues of trauma (family, relationships, employment etc.) can render one with feelings of helplessness and/or hopeless for tomorrow, this can be devastating. I believe having someone to address these concerns with in a confidential, nonjudgmental, manner can change one's life dramatically for the better. It is important to me to help my client gain insight and the tools to improve their life. My focus throughout our work together is to assure my client they are not alone in their struggle and they can heal, feel whole, and begin to experience a more fulfilled life.

I believe in the power of balance. If any part of us is out of balance; whether it is physical, emotional, spiritual or social we are unable to function to our optimal selves. I believe in addressing the whole person in order to achieve balance and wellbeing. I work from a strength's based perspective and build on an individual's unique qualities and characteristics, helping them to see the potential and strength within themselves. Once individuals are able to see their own strength-based qualities and build a healthy self-esteem, they can share those qualities with others.

If life feels like a lot right now, whether for you or someone you love, you don’t have to carry it alone. The reasons for seeking therapy can be numerous anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, etc. Sometimes it helps to have an expert hold space to just let you breathe. Maybe you need help finding clarity about what’s next or real tools for change. My hope is that you can have a place that helps you make sense of what’s happening, get expert feedback on a path forward, and help (for you or your loved one) start feeling better, steadier, and more hopeful again.

I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors seeking a path out of the "stuckness" of trauma, anxiety, and grief. I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals navigating the intersection of identity and spirituality, particularly those healing from religious trauma or life transitions. Many come to me feeling disconnected from their bodies or weary from the weight of past selves. Using Somatic Experiencing, I help you move beyond talk therapy to resolve how trauma lives in the nervous system. We work together to honor your history while building a lived sense of safety, flow, and bodily wholeness.

Over the years and after receiving thousands of initial calls and emails from clients, it is clear that many are unsure of what they need or where to go. We find great pleasure in helping clients navigate this process. As a group practice we are able to provide services for a variety of needs: anxiety, addictions, pain management, depression, relationship issues, psychological testing, individual, life transitions and even helping clients who just want to live their best life! We stand out in our efforts to make this process as smooth as possible. Many providers boast about their training in a particular treatment approach (and this is important) but research suggests that the interventions are only part of the story. The fit between client and clinician, the wellbeing of the clinician, the ease of access and the experience of the treatment process matter as much, and sometimes more, than the particular treatment model used. Pillars of Wellness was founded with the hope of ensuring an ideal client-clinician fit and providing both clients and clinicians with a positive experience. We let our clinicians excel at their craft by giving them the space to create their ideal practice.
