In Person Therapists in North Liberty, IN

I am a Licensed Social Worker. I graduated from Indiana University with my Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees in Social Work. My concentration is in mental health and addictions. I strive to provide a safe space for individuals of all ages from various backgrounds and communities. I am fluent in both English and Spanish.

I assist people in understanding and navigating the complexities of feelings and relationships and work with people experiencing unhealthy and/or difficult relationships with themselves, romantic partners, family members, and peers. Although I am experienced in all modalities, I specialize in couple and family therapy, more specifically, infidelity, communication, and intimacy building. I am effective in assisting couples and families create new meaning and tradition after experiencing an emotional disruption. Additionally, I assist individuals struggling with self-esteem, anxiety, grief/loss, and boundary setting.

I believe strongly in the human potential to grow and adapt to change. I have worked in mental health for over two decades in a variety of settings and am trained as a counseling psychologist and medical intuitive. I work specifically with clients who have experienced trauma, members of the LGBTQ+ community, veterans and service members, other healers, and clients seeking medical intuition services. Some of the healing modalities that I integrate are Reiki, mindful self-compassion, somatic exercises, connection with guides, crystal therapy, past life regression, journeying, and individualized microcurrent frequency (IMF).

If you’ve been struggling to find a therapist experienced in working with your situation I encourage you to email me. I’m currently taking in-person appointments in Indiana and online in Washington. I specialize in treating trauma, sexual and gender issues and personality disorders. I have 10 years clinical experience serving Greater Lafayette and 15 years total working with individuals and couples of all ages. I am an AASECT certified sex therapist and trained in multiple approaches to treating PTSD. I am looking forward to meeting with you to discuss the best way that we can work together to help you overcome your stress.

Are you finding yourself in a challenging space in life? You feel you should have all the tools to figure it out, but you just aren't getting where you want to be or not getting there as fast as you would like? Whether it's dealing with issues that have popped up from your childhood, stress in your relationships, or you are finding that parenting has become a struggle; I can help you through those things. We can work together to get to the heart of the things that are keeping you from living the life you want to live.

I have been involved in therapy for almost twenty years working in areas of criminal justice, social services, mental health, welfare and addiction treatment. I have enjoyed working with all age clients-each having different challenges. Although I enjoy working with all clients, areas of specialization: Adolescent behavioral issues, gambling and addictive behaviors, family and marriage counseling. I encourge clients to work on two main objectives: Self Empowerment and Acceptance of who they choose to be. I do not judge a person because of their concerns, I try to help them learn the tools to avoid future problems.

My ideal client would be someone who is geared towards helping themselves and needing guidance on how to do so. Someone who has a grasp on the importance of the client putting in the work to truly help heal themselves but needing assistance ensuring they are doing things in a healthy and emotionally intelligent fashion. Talk therapy is very important for clients who even just want to come and vent, which I believe helps the mind unclutter.

I treat individuals, couples, and families within the context of their systems. A systemic approach to therapy means viewing your challenges within the context of school, work, medical concerns, marriage, family, etc. I believe that being a healthy person means having good boundaries in your biological, psychological, social, emotional and spiritual dimensions of life.

Many of us struggle silently wishing for change but are unable to see a way to get there. If this sounds like you, I am here to tell you that change is possible and the other side is liberating. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or unresolved childhood issues, we can find ways to work through these issues together. I believe that at the end of the day there are three questions that if we can answer, we can get through anything in life. Those questions are: Who am I? Who do I want to be? How do I get there? I can help you begin to examine those questions and create new tools to help you understand those answers.

We all experience challenging and sometimes overwhelming periods in life. While turning to friends, family, or faith is often helpful in navigating life's paths, we can also benefit from a trained ear that will listen from the outside. Therapy is a safe place for exploration; a journey towards more fulfilling relationships, a greater sense of emotional, mental and spiritual well-being as well as increased self-esteem. Our work together will provide you with the support, guidance and the tools that you will need to reach your goals.

In the moments, when you feel stuck, unsafe, or overwhelmed; I'm here to help. My goal is to work alongside you as you interact with your own inner strength, self-worth, and capacity for love as you grow toward the best version of yourself. Perhaps trauma, an eating disorder, or depression has made you feel disconnected, lonely, and empty. My work with individuals, families, and found families helps people to reconnect, or connect for the first time, with themselves, with others, and with the world around them as their true, authentic selves.

My mission is to make every client that enters my office feel safe and welcome. I seek to have my clients be their own unique person with a voice that is heard. I strive to help the client to not only solve the issue but get to the root of the problem so that clients can proceed in the right direction and advance toward a healthier and more productive future.

I enjoy supporting people in their quest to improve their relationships and their lives. I counsel pre-teens, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. People's happiness, or lack thereof, is often a direct result of the quality of their relationships. Therapy can help to identify the ways in which we are contributing to poor relationships and take steps to change! Therapy can also help to clarify if a relationship can be improved and is worth salvaging.

I am a Pre-licensed professional (LMHC-A) and a Registered Art Therapist- Provisional (ATR-P). I enjoy working with adults and adolescents and I work primarily with individuals with eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image issues.

The world today can be challenging for children and teens; it can be easy to fall into a pattern of anxious or depressed mood, feeling like you don't fit in, and juggling ever-changing environments. When working through these challenges, it is important to find a space that is comfortable and safe for learning and growing. I believe creating a safe and comfortable environment to challenge clients through creating realistic and achievable goals is crucial to therapeutic success.
