Therapists in Huntington County, IN

I work with adult clients who feel stuck but still want to build more confidence, more inner peace, and harmonious relationships. I enjoy empowering people to trust in themselves and in their partners. I collaborate best with folks who are smart and creative, spiritual but not necessarily religious. Some have been minorities (e.g., immigrants, LGBTQ+, etc.). Many have been feminists and progressives. Most have struggled with anxiety and depression. All have proven themselves resilient!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in IN with several years of experience. I completed my Bachelors and Masters in Rehabilitation Counseling from Ball State University. I am passionate about helping people from all backgrounds and abilities to navigate through new challenges and life changes. I enjoy working alongside children/teens, families, and young adults as all stages of life can come with new stressors. I use an integrative approach and adapt to the needs of each person. I have experience with CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma Focused CBT.

Do you feel lost in life? Are you approaching or in the middle of making big changes? Is the world moving around you? Have you experienced significant distress related to traumatic events, loss, or life experiences? Do you need a person to talk through things with and find a way forward? I want to be that person. As a therapist, I get the honor of walking along with you to help identify strengths, challenges, barriers, and then work to get you to the life you’ve always wanted. I am passionate about helping people through their journey in life.

Are you tired of feeling tired? Or are you having trouble healing from past events on your own? If so, congratulations on taking this next step in improving your well-being!

I have been working with people who are struggling with a variety of mental health concerns for over 20 years. I enjoy working with my clients to identify the best course for them to achieve and maintain day to day success.

I welcome people from all walks of life in my practice. During our therapy sessions I offer my clients the space and the time to explore, define and gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships to others and to the world. Turning difficult feelings into words, helps making meaning of human experience. This is the best way to take control of strong emotions, instead of them controlling us. I like to support people in living their lives in a way that can feel authentic and functional.

Healing from our suffering—not just coping with it, but transforming it into growth—often requires a journey through it. It’s been said that “feelings buried alive never die.” Fear, sadness, rejection—all want acknowledgment so that we will not stay stuck in past pain. Once we bring our experience into the light, our truth can be validated. "My feelings are real." This is an important step in reaching a place of acceptance. Once the fog or confusion lifts, clarity follows and with it the momentum and freedom to finally release, let go, and move forward.

Your once bubbly and talkative teen is now spending all of their time in their room, withdrawing from loved ones and feeling alone with increasing stress. You feel like you haven't been able to connect with them, and wonder what's happening in their lives. You have noticed they are more distant, sad, or angry but aren't sure why, and when you try to help you feel like it makes everything worse. The things that you used to talk about and enjoy together don't interest them anymore. You are starting to feel like you are losing your son or daughter.

Questioning your belief system or processing negative experiences that occurred in religious or tight-knit social contexts can be lonely and frightening. Those who speak up about their questions, thoughts and feelings, or traumatic events within the community often feel shame and isolation. Too often, they are left wondering, “Is something wrong with me?” This sense of isolation usually means people suffer quietly, feeling as though there is nowhere to turn.

Entering into a counseling relationship can be a scary thing for many people. Some are hesitant about therapy based on past experience. Others are considering therapy for the very first time and really don't know what to expect. My approach to counseling begins with relaxed conversations aimed at establishing mutual trust and confidence. For my part, I pledge to be engaging, empathetic, culturally-sensitive, and client-centered, which includes a healthy amount of active listening. Moving forward, we will work together to identify strengths and skills and create a proactive strategy that is natural, realistic, and practical.

Taking care of you is important. It takes courage to carve out time to work toward self empowerment and growth. I value relationship building and reflection through the use of an eclectic approach pulling from cognitive behavior, solution focused, and other personalized therapy approaches. Together we can explore your concerns and develop plans to strive for your goals.
