Therapists in Saint John, IN

My desire and passion is within our tween, teen, and adult communities and improving their mental health and wellness. My main goal is to assist you in having a fresh start and help prevent you from carrying (childhood) traumas into your life. I want to help you overcome any stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma you may be struggling with in order to live a more fulfilling life. Therapy is a journey and while working to manage through and overcome difficulties, you also get to learn more about yourself along the way.

Accepting new clients! Do you ever feel stuck? Does it feel hard to navigate the intricacies of daily life? If yes, you are not alone! I am a strengths-based therapist who tries to help clients work toward their individual goals. Sometimes these goals are managing anxiety, depression, or ADHD. I also help my clients navigate family or peer relationships. I am a licensed clinical social worker who has been working in the field for over ten years.

I’ve been practicing since 2006. I have spent 4 years working in private practice settings, 12 years working with DCS/probation clients, and 7 years working in the jail setting (5 of those being the clinical supervisor). I have a passion for working with those who have an opiate addiction with or without medication management. I have experience working with groups, couples, and those who suffer from anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder (with and without psychotic features), OCD, ADHD, suicidal ideation, crisis intervention, gender issues, parenting issues, stress, self-esteem, self-worth, self-respect, and many more.

Today is the perfect opportunity to begin moving forward. Seeking help is the first step toward a healthier and more balanced life. Begin to increase your self-esteem, boost your self-confidence, strengthen your relationships, decrease anxiety and empower yourself.

With 16+ years of experience in inpatient and outpatient mental health and Employee Assistance, I have much to offer.

As a graduate of Loyola University Chicago, I am psychodynamically trained but also use a variety of treatment modalities, (CBT, family systems, experiential, narrative, play, music, art therapy). In my 20 years of experience, I have found that the single most important aspect of treatment is the sacred relationship between client and therapist. I’ve created a safe, judgment-free environment for the entire family, (children, teens, adults, & the elderly). You will be heard, respected, and supported on your journey to become your best self. We proudly serve diverse populations & LGBTQ. Christian counseling & life coaching available

If you are experiencing difficulties with your significant other, I can help as I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and extensively trained in relationship models. For years, I have been successfully working with couples to help them improve their communication strategies, heal from the trauma of infidelity and repair other significant relationship injuries. I began working with children and their families back in 1992 but today, I use the Gottman Method Couples Therapy because it is rooted in decades of research and practice. Years of positive outcomes is what sets this method apart from other non-researched therapies.

My approach to psychotherapy is holistic, integrating mind body and spirit, through a variety of modalities. My personal belief system influences my work. Specifically, I believe that as individuals, we continually bring forth new possibilities. People come to therapy with wounds. But it is in the wounds that the light shines in. In therapy, we learn we need not fear the places where one feels stuck, overwhelmed or enslaved. My diverse background has deepened my understanding for those wrestling with existential, spiritual and religious belonging, life transitions, sexual orientation, relational challenges and childhood traumas.

When life's challenges threaten to overwhelm you, I seek to help you restore balance and harmony in your life. I approach therapy with the fundamental belief that we all have a unique life path which brings us the most joy and fulfillment. Together, we will develop treatment goals that help you live in alignment with your deepest values. Along the way we will uncover what blocks you from achieving your goals and living with vitality and joy.

Have you ever wondered why you are so anxious, sad, worried, angry, or how to stop these emotions from affecting your life and your relationships? If you answered "yes" then let's talk. I have worked for over 25 years with individuals who are suffering from depression and anxiety. Don't be afraid to embrace how great you are. Change starts with just one action and you have what it takes to change. Please call me or contact me through email. The most important thing is that you reach out for help.

On the outside everything looks ok! Your child or teen is attending school and is maybe even one of the popular kids. They play sports or are involved in an extracurricular activity they were once really passionate about. However, something’s changed. Perhaps they’ve even had a very scary or life-threatening experience. Behind closed doors, your child is really starting to struggle. The stress associated with appearing perfect on the outside is causing internal dilemmas that can lead to anxiety or depression. Developing a healthy sense of self can lead to a positive impact not only on your child, but the rest of your family.

These are a few of the issues that I can help you work through so that you can look to your future with a renewed sense of hope.

Studies prove that unaddressed childhood trauma can negatively impact an individual’s ability to function in life as an adult. Children often develop distortions about their value and uniqueness. Processing this now may save you and your child a lot of heartache later. My compassionate approach to therapy is holistic, meaning that I take into consideration how different life events and people affect the whole person. I create a specific treatment plan for the client that fits their needs. Life challenges are a constant, but with the right strategies, a child can learn how to handle and navigate through them with confidence.
