I have over 25 years of clinical experience and specialize in treating

Other co-occurring issues I also work with are; grief, chronic relapse, anxiety, depression, PTSD, codependency, trauma, and
women's issues
.
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.

Every day we hear: I don't even recognize myself anymore. Anxiety is taking over my life. I just need to get over what happened to me. Getting through the day is a struggle. We hear it from women who are holding everything together for everyone else, but feel like they falling are apart inside. We, as women, need a protected and encouraging space to take a "pause" from daily life to think about what we want in our lives and how to get there. Indy Women's Counseling is that space. We are women therapists with real lives, holding it all together too. We get it. We see you. We can help.

I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, and their parents through issues such as depression, anxiety, parental divorce, developing interpersonal skills, having experienced a traumatic event, and issues that arise during pregnancy and postpartum. Going through difficult seasons in life is something everyone experiences at some point. If you're struggling right now, it's important to know you don't have to go through it alone. Therapy can equip you with the tools to not only manage the challenges, but to thrive despite them.

It's uncomfortable to reach out for help, to reveal our pain and personal matters to anyone, let alone a stranger. This is why my priority is creating a safe, judgment free space to build a genuine connection with my clients. In addition to developing strategies to relieve immediate distress, I apply my 15 years in mental health, from home-based to hospital crisis work, to help you identify the reasons behind your struggles and resolve the underlying causes. This provides the framework for positive growth and a deeper understanding of oneself, for lasting results.

I enjoy challenges and exploring mind-body-spirit using ACT, CBT and EMDR. Complex issues are interesting to me along with normal life transitions, depression, anxiety and trauma. I welcome working with high school students, young adults, and adult individuals and couples of any age.

My clients are typically adoptees and/or their adoptive or birth families. I also see women who are struggling with burnout. Adoption is a life-long process that can create many challenges for adoptees. I “get it” on a level most therapists can’t because as an adoptee myself, I’ve also experienced those losses and the questions that come with them. I am in reunion and have been since I was 18. This has been a largely positive experience but has had emotional ups and downs through the years.

Do others tell you you're too sensitive? Do you expect yourself to be perfect? Do you use substances or engage in compulsive behaviors to make yourself feel better? So many of us were raised in homes where we were not given the nurturance, guidance, or protection we needed as children. Even if there was no physical or sexual abuse, we may have been raised in ways that did not create the solid, secure foundations we needed to become confident, joyful adults. Please hear me: There is nothing wrong with you. You are resilient and developed amazing, creative ways to survive.

Transitions of all kinds can be SCARY and HARD, and may leave one stuck in a place of powerlessness and frustration. Living and getting through each day may be PAINFUL - whether because of isolation or too much togetherness and conflict (or both!). Struggles make hearing others and feeling heard more difficult. Managing our feelings and relationships is easier "wished" for than accomplished. I can help you choose the right words, figure out where you are in life and relationships, and find your way through difficult times.

Investing time to know my clients is essential to me as we are all impacted by family, social, cultural, and economical factors. I feel it is important that clients are given a safe space to share their stories. I have worked with children, teens, married couples, parents, and adults with various life situations, including people experiencing homelessness and addiction. I also have a history of working with individuals involved in ministry settings. I am a practical strategist for supporting people through life’s difficulties. As a heartfelt listener I love to help people find hope when they otherwise feel stuck.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
