Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists in St Joseph County, IN

Life's unexpected stressors have a way of derailing even the most stable people. We provide confidential psychotherapy services to help clients find relief and regain control of their lives.

To outsiders, your life seems great. You're capable, reliable, and driven. However, inside, you never feel good enough, and your inner critic points out every fault. You've kept up this act for years, but it's taking a toll, leaving you exhausted, and you know you can't continue living like this. You’re tired of prioritizing others over yourself. It's time for change.

You may be struggling to manage anxiety or depression, relationships, life transitions, or loss. Or you may be asking yourself questions that feel too overwhelming to find answers to on your own. Whether it is your first time considering therapy or you have lots of experience working with a therapist, I offer a non-judgmental, safe, and collaborative space for you to process the challenges or experiences you are facing, and to freely explore and express yourself.

I want to help you meet your goals and to move ahead. You are the expert on you and not me! Let us work together in order to work through issues and make your life more what you would like it to be!

As you search for a counselor, the most important thing is to find someone who can help you with the current obstacles you are facing. You deserve someone who is competent, accepting, and compassionate. I am committed to walking alongside you as you deal with life’s difficulties and struggles. I assist in bringing clarity and focus while working with you toward meeting your goals.

I feel called to mental health counseling. I believe that all humans experience suffering in their lives, and I find it helps to have some level of trust and validation in order to assist with the healing process. I enjoy helping people to find themselves, to honor and experience their full range of emotions, to increase their understanding of themselves, and to promote healthy self-worth and emotional accountability. Whether your need is for short-term solutions and coping skills, or a greater understanding of self for greater contentment in your life, I am interested in helping people learn and grow to be their best selves!

I offer therapy/counseling for couples, marriage, and individuals. I believe I am present for my clients to help them through marital or couple issues, and trauma. The struggles are real in a relationship or marriage…. feeling disconnected or disengaged, no communication or arguing, or just having doubts? Maybe you are just looking to improve your relationship or marriage. I can help you with your marital and premarital counseling to improve your relationship. I have over ten years experience.

My ideal client is someone who acknowledges a problem exists, even if they don’t quite know what it is. The source of that issue can be discovered and processed through therapy, leaving the client with effective tools and skills to cope with and manage their emotions.

I am interested in working with individuals, couples, and families from all backgrounds. I see the importance in identifying the ways thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence our lives. Identifying the root of the issues we face is difficult but necessary for lasting change whether you're experiencing relational issues, anxiety, depression, grief, or having difficulty navigating major life transitions.

I have a BS in Behavioral Science from Western Michigan University. I am currently pursuing my MA in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northcentral/National University. While working toward my degree, I am able to practice therapy under a clinically licensed supervisor as an intern. I am Trauma Focused One Certified and working on obtaining Gottman level 1.  I believe that each person has a life and experiences and those, at times can impact a person's well-being. I often find that with a little time and developed trust we can work together to better the situation.

As a therapist, I am most excited to see clients motivated to explore their unknown strengths, widen their horizons, increase their abilities to make informed decisions and lead a life of meaning as they define it. Everyone I have worked with brings to therapy a foundation upon which to grow. Regardless of the problem, an enhanced sense of self is possible. Instilling hope of something better in life is one of my greatest motivations, and assisting others in achieving their goals drew me to this profession.

Do you feel like you didn't get the instruction manual for life? Are there changes happening that just do not seem to make sense in your relationships, job, body or just life? Are you looking for a safe space to just say out loud all the stuff that feels like it is being bottled up?

I have already counseled my ideal client. I worked with a client who came to me in her most significant time of need. She was ready to put in work and wanted to develop. She was diagnosed with Bipolar I and had several suicide attempts. She could externalize her mania and use fitness and wellness to push through her episodes. She is happy and healthy and uses her experiences to help others. My services involve psychotherapy using techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing (MI), with a trauma-informed framework.

Are you feeling stuck and unsure of how to resolve the problems in your relationship? That's normal and something that happens in even the healthiest relationships. The good news is that there is hope. I specialize in couples therapy and have extensive training in Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy. My goal from the start of therapy is to utilize our time to get results as quickly as possible. Our focus will be on conflict resolution. We will start by mapping out the problematic conflict pattern and then work to identify more effective ways to resolve conflicts.

Hello, I am a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana. Although I have been employed in a variety of social work positions over the years, doing clinical work with individuals, couples, and families has always been my passion. I believe strongly that we have the power to illuminate and strengthen our own lives when we nurture ourselves and allow others to nurture us. My own goals for you, as a client, are to empower, educate, and maintain the highest therapeutic standard of care, and above all, to instill a sense of hopefulness within you no matter the circumstances.

We all experience life in our own way. Our thoughts, feelings, and expectations can be so overwhelming that they become obstacles to making decisions and living our lives to the fullest. If you are experiencing one of life’s unexpected challenges and would like to explore your thoughts and feelings in a private, safe, and comfortable environment tailored to help increase your awareness and ability to work through challenges, I am here for you. I view therapy as a safe space for processing life experiences, emotions, thoughts, and trauma in order to achieve one’s goals and necessary growth.
