Psychodynamic Therapists in Indianapolis, IN
My approach is mainly psychodynamic, paying close attention to your personality patterns and our relationship in the room to uncover lasting change.
I work with Christians (ages 18–40) who feel trapped by guilt, anxiety, and painful relationship patterns. For my clients, faith is integral to life and compromising that isn’t an option. I’m here for those who want to address anxiety, OCD, or interpersonal struggles with an approach rooted in psychological science and grounded in a Christian worldview. Some come to me after a season of panic or anxiety, but most are ready to commit to long-term therapy that helps them truly understand themselves and find lasting relief.

I use a psychoanalytic/ psychodynamic approached informed by an object relations perspective.
I work with people of different backgrounds and cultures who desire a greater understanding of how to live richer, deeper lives while focusing on building more meaningful relationships with others. I help clients recognize how hidden thoughts and feelings can sometimes work in harmful ways, leading to dysfunctional outcomes. I encourage people to build confidence in their ability to be the authors of their own lives, and grow in their ability to understand past decisions while learning to change their life direction going forward.

We often find ourselves repeating patterns in our thoughts and our ways of relating that keep us stuck and unable to move forward in life, preventing us from fully experiencing all that we would like. Past relationships and early experiences impact our current perceptions of our self, others, and the world. Therapy provides an opportunity to gain insight and understanding, as well as a space to explore and work through these patterns and places in life in the hope of gaining a greater sense of freedom and aliveness.

You may look like you are holding it together, but inside your body feels tense, tired, or on edge. Past experiences may still surface through anxiety, grief, or a sense of not feeling safe, even when life seems calm. If this sounds familiar, you are not broken and you are not alone. I work with children, teens, and adults impacted by trauma, including medical trauma, who want relief and deeper healing. Clients often seek support for anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, family stress, grief, life transitions, or questions around identity, sexuality, or faith. Some simply want a safe place to feel seen and begin healing.

I am a Christian counselor/coach and I am passionate about helping men experience freedom from compulsive behaviors and, as a result, a deeper connection with God, themselves, and others. I specialize in helping men struggling with addictive and compulsive behaviors like pornography, sex, drugs, alcohol, food, work, video games, relationships, etc.
After more than 20 years of experience, I have found that true lasting healing does not happen in isolation. Weekly recovery groups provide the accountability, honesty, and brotherhood required for lasting transformation. That is why I now fully focus on the power of group work.

I enjoy working with clients who come to me in crisis with some awareness that their existing coping resources and skills have been overwhelmed to the point they need some help to grow through the situation. Though it typically begins concretely with stress and conflict management, this work often deepens into fruitful reexamination of personal values, family dynamics, problematic relationship patterns, and existential or spiritual themes. I see individual problems as often having been forged in the crucible of one's family of origin, which has often severely limited one's ability to respond well to all of life's demands.

One of the most challenging things to do sometimes is to ask for help. Seeking out a therapist is no different; maybe even more challenging. In reaching out and embracing counseling, you could learn and develop new skills for dealing with stress, anxiety and depression, more effective ways of coping, and improve self-esteem.

At present, I work primarily with individuals aged 14 to 30. I have a passion for working with adolescents and young adults and particularly with those who are late recognized/late diagnosed neurodivergent. I believe that intervening with young individuals can help provide them the tools to navigate the struggles of life long after their therapy has ended. I enjoy working with individuals who are looking to explore and gain a better understanding of themselves while navigating symptoms related to mental health struggles. I strive to work from a neurodiversity affirming perspective and am also trained in EMDR.

We all create a set of expectations of ourselves, our world, and others, beginning with our earliest relationships. I enjoy working with clients who are interested in exploring how these beliefs either strengthen or distort our approach to relationships, medical issues, trauma, and/or challenges. I have a general practice dealing with issues of depression, anxiety, adjustment, marital, and family issues. I also work with clients and their families who are coping with medical and/or genetic diagnoses. I see soldiers and/or their spouses who are adjusting to military related issues and deployments.
