Grief Therapists in Frankfort, IN

Teaching people how to navigate life's challenges is my passion! I work with children, adolescents, and young adults. Having experience as both a school counselor and a special education teacher, I am familiar with the challenges that students face, both socially and academically.

There are so many challenges in life; difficult life transitions, traumatic events, relationship issues, and instability that negatively impact one's mental, emotional, and physical health. If you feel that you need assistance with managing the stressors of daily life, I'm glad you are looking for a therapist. You have taken the first step to positive change in your life! I would greatly enjoy the pleasure of partnering with you! I work with all ages with a wide variety of presenting problems. I specialize in child, adolescent, and early adulthood counseling while partnering with the family to promote continuous positive change.

Feeling stressed out, overwhelmed, depressed or anxious? Struggling with an addiction, unhealthy relationships, self-destructive behaviors or just not living the life you want? You don't have to walk through life's challenges alone. Let me help you grow, discover your strengths and take control of your emotions and choices. You can't change the past but you do have the power within you to determine your future. I offer low-cost counseling to make services more accessible to everyone.

As a therapist, I am most excited to see clients motivated to explore their unknown strengths, widen their horizons, increase their abilities to make informed decisions and lead a life of meaning as they define it. Everyone I have worked with brings to therapy a foundation upon which to grow. Regardless of the problem, an enhanced sense of self is possible. Instilling hope of something better in life is one of my greatest motivations, and assisting others in achieving their goals drew me to this profession.

I am a Licensed Social Worker with a passion for decreasing the stigma surrounding mental health and promoting the health and well being of my clients. For my undergraduate degree, I moved from Central Jersey (Yes! It exists!) to South Jersey to attend Stockton University. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work with a Minor in Behavioral Neuroscience from Stockton, and then moved on to attend graduate school in Philadelphia. I received my Master of Social Work Degree with a clinical concentration from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice in May of 2020.

My ideal client is someone who acknowledges a problem exists, even if they don’t quite know what it is. The source of that issue can be discovered and processed through therapy, leaving the client with effective tools and skills to cope with and manage their emotions.

My ideal client is someone who feels stuck concerning their relationships, emotions, work, finances, health, or purpose. They are looking for an identity outside of parent or worker. They are feeling depressed and hopeless lately. They are the type that is generally anxious, worried, or on edge. Their goal may be to change their life, but they are not sure how. They may have tried a ton of different self-help, spiritual, or healing modalities on their own but had moments where they have started to think it's never going to happen for them. They need to break free of nonproductive cycles and poor choices to change their lives.

I am looking for a client who is motivated to make changes, may be struggling with depression or anxiety, or may even have some trauma that needs to be addressed. The ideal client would be ready to take the needed steps to make progress.

I appreciate someone with an open heart and a willingness to explore their inner self. I value individuals who are ready to engage and connect in meaningful conversations. I know it can be hard to take the first step for help, and look for someone who is committed to their own growth and willing to collaborate in their goals. Trust, honesty, and a desire to change create a supportive connecting environment where healing and transformation can take place.

My ideal client would be someone who is geared towards helping themselves and needing guidance on how to do so. Someone who has a grasp on the importance of the client putting in the work to truly help heal themselves but needing assistance ensuring they are doing things in a healthy and emotionally intelligent fashion. Talk therapy is very important for clients who even just want to come and vent, which I believe helps the mind unclutter.

I specialize in helping those with anxiety, depression, & relationship issues. Whether it is a relational, work, school, or family issue, talking about it with someone often aids in clarity and change. I want to help those individuals/families who are struggling to make sense of the chaos, look for understanding insight, and make those changes that will help them to start feeling more hopeful and excited about life again.

My ideal client is someone who wants to actively pursue new paths to find their true, healthy self. Ideally, ready to do the work. I am here to challenge cognitive distortions. I will be a partner in brainstorming issues and goals. Hard work from the client and support from an intuitive counselor will clear the path to the answers within.

When we work together we’ll discuss your concerns and how it’s impacting your life. We’ll focus on building both insight and skills to help you create the change you’re looking for. While we may discuss difficult topics and have impactful conversations in session, I believe a lot of change happens between the times that we meet. I often give something to do/try/think about in-between sessions. I find that honest feedback from you on those skills or ideas is important, and while that can be easier said than done, I find that the most successful sessions are ones where we are both honest with each other.

Life challenges can be hard to face alone. Having a neutral, caring and a supportive therapist can help you tell your story, celebrate your strengths. Most importantly, help you bring your best self forward to enjoy better days & look forward to what the future holds. I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of others and empowering you to reach your full potential.
