ATTENTION PARENTS WHOSE CHILD IS STRUGGLING WITH DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, OR INTERPERSONAL ISSUES (AT SCHOOL OR AT HOME): You have a teenager who needs someone to talk to, but you aren’t sure who they will feel comfortable with. When your child shares their challenging experiences, you want someone who can RELATE. You’re looking for someone who has lived what your child is facing, and who MADE IT THROUGH. Someone who has a shared understanding of the struggles of being a teen, someone who can provide support and empathy, and someone who has already learned to manage and conquer what your adolescent is feeling.

Are you or a loved one challenged by anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship issues? Are you missing a sense of peace, joy, or fulfillment in your life? I am here to help you.

I believe each person has the capacity to grow towards true freedom, peace, and joy. I believe that our suffering can bring about an even greater healing. I work at a Christ-centered practice in Indianapolis. I want to help you flourish in all aspects of your life.

Therapy is not intended to “fix” an individual; the purpose of therapy is to focus on the path to healing by creating a deeper sense of understanding and feeling in control of one’s own life. I utilize a holistic and collaborative approach. I prioritize validation of my client’s experiences and creating a non-judgmental and safe space for each person who enters my office. I enjoy working with our LGTBQ+ community and I recognize the importance of Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion. I enjoy working with our youth populations and their families; as well as young adults who are experiencing new stressors and emerging into adulthood.

I aim to meet you where you're at and work through things with you every step of the way so you can reach the goal of becoming a healthier person both inside and out.

People everywhere, in all walks of life, can experience things like grief, burnout, emptiness, loneliness, and low self-esteem at times. Whether it's your first time or not, coming to see a counselor is a big decision, and one that I don't take lightly. My goal is to give you a safe and supportive space to work on what really matters to you. I have treated a variety of anxiety, adjustment, and mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, as well as suicidal ideation , self-harm, trauma, stress, psychosis, codependency, relationship and communication issues, and parenting challenges. I use a blend of CBT, ACT, and DBT.

I am a mental health counselor who provides therapy services to clients as they choose to become healthier versions of the humans they are.

Many of us have different styles of learning, therefore I always practice person-centered therapy with your needs in mind.

It's uncomfortable to reach out for help, to reveal our pain and personal matters to anyone, let alone a stranger. This is why my priority is creating a safe, judgment free space to build a genuine connection with my clients. In addition to developing strategies to relieve immediate distress, I apply my 15 years in mental health, from home-based to hospital crisis work, to help you identify the reasons behind your struggles and resolve the underlying causes. This provides the framework for positive growth and a deeper understanding of oneself, for lasting results.

My passion is for listening to, providing guidance with, and helping people express their stories as they desire.

My toolbox includes cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy skills. I lean on positive psychology, expressive arts, and using your strengths. I am LGBTQ+ affirming.

I am a trained EMDR therapist focusing on the treatment of trauma and its common co-occurring disorders such as substance abuse and personality disorders. While Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing was initially developed for the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), it is still widely used to treat other common mental health issues such as: anxiety disorders, mood disorders, childhood abuse or neglect, intimate partner violence, sexual assault, panic disorders, substance abuse disorders.

Is your adolescent struggling in school? Are you having difficulty keeping his/her behavior under control? Is your child acting differently (isolating themselves, arguing more than usual, avoiding peers, self-harming)? Are you struggling with a divorced or blended family situation? I would love to be able to help you, your child, and your family. I have been working with at-risk, troubled youth and their families for over 15 years. This includes working closely with the school, juvenile system, and medical practitioners, as well.

I have always had a passion to work with children, families, couples, and individuals of all ages to help improve ones ability to change unwanted behaviors, build life skills, work through relationship issues, and have a life worth living by learning to flourish, improve well-being, and to be more self directed by enhancing positive emotions, accepting their limitations, self aware and letting go of their fears and conflicts.

I’ve been practicing since 2006. I have spent 4 years working in private practice settings, 12 years working with DCS/probation clients, 7 years working in a jail (6 of those being the clinical supervisor), and was a clinical director at a recovery center. I have a passion for working with those struggling with addiction. I have experience working with groups, couples, and those who suffer from anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder (with and without psychotic features), adjustment issues, ADHD, suicidal ideation , crisis intervention, gender issues, parenting issues, stress, self-esteem, self-worth, self-respect, and many more.

Being a teen girl is tough! Raising a teen girl can be even tougher. Anxiety, depression, identity issues, peer relations, academic stress, and outside pressures can leave teen girls needing increased support just as many are beginning to pull away from their parents to develop their own passions and purpose. Parents often find themselves feeling like an outsider as their teen daughters suddenly begin to turn to peers, friends, and social media for advice and guidance instead of mom or dad. This can lead to increased family conflict as parents and teens struggle to communicate with each other and find common ground.

People are a lot like plants. We stem from different roots, endure different stressors, and grow under different conditions. Yet, our most important similarity is our ability to be resilient even in the face of adversity. In my clinical approach, I nurture the conditions that support each individual’s growth through collaboration, creativity, and compassion. Whether you are looking to tend to the intricacies of grief and loss, uproot your life from past trauma, cut down on addictive patterns, or simply absorb new tools for managing day-to-day stressors, I would love the opportunity to work with you and help you grow.
