Couples Counseling Therapists in Evansville, IN

Hello! I am a believer in possibilities and change. If you are someone who feels now is the time for positive transformation or you and your family are wanting help dealing with the stressors of life, I have experience working with individuals, families, and couples . I love to work with individuals as young as 12 using cognitive behaviors therapy as well as adults with a wide range of concerns. You will feel welcomed when you come to the office, and we will work as a team to meet your goals in therapy. I have experience with LGBTQ+, trauma, depression, anxiety and addictions and I am a licensed clinical social worker.

I am dedicated to helping you manifest change in your life. You are here for a reason. Maybe there is something you want or need more of in your life? Maybe there is something you need less of? Maybe there is a relationship in your life that is need of repair?

I believe that everyone deserves to be loved and accepted for who they are. Every day life can be exhausting, and it can feel heavy to carry stress on your own. Sometimes we are our own harshest critic, unable to see how resilient we are. Whether you are navigating anxiety, relationship stress, grief, unresolved trauma, or even if you aren't sure what you are feeling, my hope is to help lighten your heavy load. We will work together to help you feel at peace and find moments of joy, even on the toughest of days. You deserve to see how capable, worthy, and wonderful you are, and you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone.

Life isn’t always easy and sometimes we need a safe space to process difficult emotions, heal and find ways to move forward. Sometimes we need additional tools to resolve couple conflicts or deepen the couple connection. And then there are times we are grieving the loss of a loved one, a friend, or a dream and we need to talk and cry it out and heal. And then there are times we meet “the one” and want to build a relationship that lasts through life’s transitions. Sometimes we’re anxious and our worry thoughts disrupt our thinking and daily living and we need to free ourselves of it or learn better coping skills to manage it.
