Adoption Therapists in Indianapolis, IN
Does it feel like all you are doing is doggy paddling in the ocean, trying to keep your head above water? It feels like relationships are anchoring you down, and life events are giant waves pushing you under. Reaching out for help can feel scary. I hope to help you learn to surf the waves, implement coping skills, and feel in control of your life. Through therapy, you can learn to process and embrace your past and look forward to your future. I hope you can learn about yourself and start loving and accepting all parts of you. I am committed to providing affirming care and honoring those who come from marginalized identities.

I’ve been through it — and I’m still growing through it. As a therapist who also values therapy, I’ve learned that self-care goes far beyond bubble baths and face masks. Sometimes, true self-care means giving yourself permission to talk, feel, and heal in a safe space.
I became a caregiver at an early age and later lost my brother to addiction. I often wish he’d had a space where he could share his inner world without judgment. That wish has shaped my passion for creating that kind of space for others to feel valued, seen and heard for who they are beneath the pain. A space where they are empowered to share their own inner voice.

When you’re facing big changes and questions in your life and relationships, maybe with old wounds also resurfacing, it can feel really overwhelming and confusing. Therapy can be helpful during periods like these to slow down and prioritize yourself so you can reach more clarity and direction, as well as provoke movement toward what you need and want.
Clients typically reach out to me for therapy when they are experiencing relationship challenges (romantic, family, friends), life transitions, and experiences like anxiety, stress, trauma, depression, burnout, and resentment.

During unexpected challenges in life, you may feel alone and as if no one fully understands your pain. You may even feel stuck and hopeless that things will ever improve or change. The decision to reach out for support is often scary, but an important and courageous step towards healing. Throughout my work hearing each person’s unique story, I have come to believe that meaningful connection and change is possible for everyone.

Something’s wrong, but you can’t quite name it. You've been going through the motions and somewhere along the line, the color started draining out of everything. You're not in crisis. But you're just... not okay. And you've been not-okay long enough that it's starting to feel normal. And it shouldn't.
Here's what I can tell you after 15 years of doing this work: that feeling almost always has a source. Whatever it is, I've helped a lot of people find it and start building something that actually feels like living. You don't have to have it figured out before you call. That's what we do together.

My role will never be to tell you what to do; rather we will work together to find the perfect solution for you. I accept clients from all backgrounds, identities, and cultures. I have a warm welcome for those of the LGBTQ+ community along with open relationship structures/polyamory. Areas of most experience include anxiety, depression, OCD, addiction (harm reduction model, preferably). No area or challenge is too small or seemingly too insignificant in which to engage in therapy. Clients will be successful when they come with an open mind, a willingness to be vulnerable, while also being provided their own pace and comfort.

Does anyone really ever understand how tiring it is to act okay and always be strong when there is so much chaos going on inside of us? Maybe we are to the point where we just do not have the energy to do the things we want to do or perhaps even used to enjoy doing. We might be struggling with deep emotions no one else understands. Maybe there are things we don’t even know how to put into words. Therapy is a special place where you can learn more about who you are and find out how to get to where you want to be in life.
