Substance Use Therapists in Indianapolis, IN

Because each person has unique experiences, thoughts, feelings, and strengths, therapy can be an individualized process that is designed from the first session to assist clients towards their desired goals. For some, therapy involves receiving immediate support. For others, it involves examination of the past. Furthermore, some clients seek help to engage in new skills for the present and future. Therapy often involves safe exploration of new strategies to lead towards desired growth. My approach to therapy integrates theory and techniques from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), and interpersonal psychotherapies.

We all have innate wisdom about what is best for us but may struggle to believe this about ourselves. I work with clients with past and ongoing trauma that has impacted their sense of self, created feelings of overwhelm, and even feelings of detachment. I strive to create a safe environment in which you can be curious about the relationship between your inner and outer worlds, and how they relate. Through curiosity, I hope to show you that there are no “bad parts" of you, just parts that may no longer serve you. I help clients to connect mind and body to address the full picture of thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

I have been in the fields of mental health and substance abuse for over 20 years. I enjoy working with all populations. In trying to navigate through substance abuse and mental health issues, there are many factors that envelope a person's ability to cope with life. I understand that asking for help can be difficult and identifying a need for change can induce some fears. I can help you identify any changes that are needed and offer encouragement and support through your journey of self preservation.

I enjoy working with clients to help them improve their relationship issues, feeling disconnected, family dynamic issues, changing behaviors, loneliness, hopelessness, emotional pain and traumas. I use a holistic approach looking at the whole person: mind, body and soul. I feel it is an honor to be involved in helping clients improve their spiritual, emotional and mental wellbeing.

Feeling the weight of the past holding you back? Looking for new and more helpful ways to heal and move forward? Wanting to lean into the healthiest version of yourself? Though it is not talked about enough, these types of challenges are not uncommon in this human experience and we all struggle, at points in our lives, with how we react and respond to different situations because of our experiences we've had that affect our thoughts, feelings and emotions. I believe that you are capable of breaking away from what no longer serves you and finding your way towards a more intentional and fulfilling life.

I work with artists, entrepreneurs, musicians, clergy, students, other therapists, professionals and anyone trying to carry the demands of modern life and maintain their humanity. I help clients live creatively, identifying their core values and exploring new ways of knowing themselves and their most intimate relationships. Some of my clients have come from high control relationships or religious dynamics and are working to connect with a stronger, more essential self. Some are going through life transitions that have stirred up unfelt emotions and exposed patterns of relating that no longer serve them.
