Therapists in Vanderburgh County, IN

One of the most difficult things we can experience is in not knowing what comes next. Maybe you feel lost, confused, or broken - that some part of you is missing, and the daily struggle to keep it together for yourself or your loved ones feels impossibly overwhelming. Maintaining the obligations of family, work, and friendships can be so exhausting that it seems easier to avoid them altogether. Maybe you’ve considered therapy before, but thought it was too expensive, time consuming, or worry you might be seen as "weak." But how would it feel to find yourself again? To stop, catch your breath, and learn to find peace among the chaos?

The therapeutic process is about you!! We all have a story, and a past! It is imperative that you feel comfortable and safe for a clinician to earn your trust, to engage and assist you on your journey of interpersonal change. I recognize the significant role you play in developing your tailored treatment plan and how vulnerable you must feel asking for help. If you are uncertain what you need, want, desire or struggling where your life's path is taking you, know the power is within you to make rational positive changes and choices for your life with the assistance of a trained clinician.

Congratulations on the decision to make positive personal changes in your life! I offer over 30 years of clinical experience counseling people with issues related to mental health and various addictions. I offer the ability to connect well with people and use my training and experience to help you solve your issues. My office is located in a large and very relaxed setting of the historic Old Vanderburgh County Courthouse. Your call will be answered by me; offering you a personalized and extremely confidential experience.

Are you suffering from anxiety, depression, addiction or experiencing problems in your relationships? Are you looking for a safe and comfortable place where you can talk freely and openly? I focus on providing you with an empathetic connection that will allow you to feel accepted, valued, understood and respected. You can look forward to each day, once again knowing you’re going to be productive and feel confident, calm, hopeful, encouraged and optimistic. ​ My primary approach is Cognitive Behavior Therapy. Together, we will explore your thoughts/beliefs/hopes and create a custom treatment plan to address your specific needs.

Each person I meet has a story, and healing and personal growth occurs when you are heard, validated and supported in a nonjudgmental way. Many of my clients are busy professionals, and I offer first of the day, lunchtime, and late afternoon appointments for your convenience. In sessions together, I will support and encourage you as you gain inner momentum in your own healing journey. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing, a specific type of trauma therapy that allows you to notice body sensations at a pace that is comfortable for you as you work to rewire the nervous system without overwhelm in a safe and inviting environment.

We are complex individuals molded and sometimes broken by our unique life experiences. These experiences provide the subjective lens through which we perceive reality, and can negatively influence our thoughts and behaviors. This can sometimes happen outside of our awareness. For instance, we often create hidden internal conflicts which can cause daily distress in our lives. However, we can also be very aware of negative thoughts and behaviors which create havoc in our lives. By allowing me to step into your story and your life experiences, we can work towards the goal of improving your overall well-being and happiness.

I’m passionate about supporting people of culturally diverse backgrounds, ideas, identities and preferences and who want to improve their lives, work through their issues, and live authentically. I'm happy to help you with any of your mental health concerns. I enjoy working with motivated clients to restore the balance to their lives. I specialize in helping people to understand themselves. We’ll explore ways to identify feelings, stressors, strengths, and challenges, while cultivating new skills and practices.

Are you are struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem or trouble managing stress? Have you tried therapy before but you didn't click with the therapist? or Have you thought about starting therapy but have never followed through with it? I can help! It is not a weakness to need help. Being willing to talk about hard stuff and improve your quality of life takes courage. The first step is reaching out, the next steps we can do together.

Want to rediscover the person you fell in love with? You got married because you loved them, and wanted to build a life with them. Then what happened? Who is this person and where is the one I married? They are there and so are you. Let's go find them!

Life is full of ups and downs. Sometimes the downs are so low that we feel as though there is no way to get back up. I have had many of those lows myself, and therapy has been one of the greatest sources of support and comfort during those times. That is why I decided to become a therapist. I wanted to be the source of support, encouragement, and guidance that was offered to me.The hardest part about therapy is often taking that first step to acknowledge that we need some extra help. It takes a lot of strength and courage to reach out, so congratulations!

Have you experienced physical emotional or sexual abuse in your life? If you are struggling with nervousness, anxiety, low self-esteem, feeling hopeless, unable to trust anyone and feeling you are not good enough as the result of emotional, physical or sexual abuse, then you need to contact me.

“One of the greatest things you can do to help others is not just share and give what you have, but to help them discover what they have within themselves.” The life we desire is not always the life in front of us. Emotions can be difficult to understand and navigate through life’s seasons. It is essential to have access to a nonjudgmental, compassionate, and therapeutic environment for people to move through life’s ups and downs safely and process anything from everyday stressors to the most traumatic events.

Do you overthink things, worry excessively or struggle to relax? Is the anxiety so bad that you feel you have lost your true self? I understand what you are going through. The shakiness, racing heart, upset stomach, & sleepless nights can make it difficult to function. You want peace & to be the person you used be, but it has been a struggle to get back to the old you. Your quest for relief has possibly resulted in unhealthy behaviors & you long to find better ways to cope. CBT, EMDR, & mindfulness can help, & I would love to discuss with you just how.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Is there some loss, trauma, or pain from the past impacting your life today? Past pain or fears of the future can trigger anxiety and make life difficult to navigate. I work with clients to help them heal from past harm, grieve losses and move toward new beginnings. True, effective change and greater freedom is possible with a willingness to heal and to grow.
