Therapists in West Lafayette, IN

Raising children is the hardest and most rewarding job you will ever have. When a child has experienced trauma, transition or is struggling with another concern, it is even more difficult. I work with children and their families to help them integrate their unique experiences in the world. There is hope, help and support for children who are struggling with; trauma, grief/loss, transitions, ADHD, anxiety, defiance, depression, and worry. I believe in the power of play and the ability of children and families to grow towards health and healing.

Pain if not transcended most assuredly will be transmitted. Healing from our suffering, not just easing it, but transforming it into growth and peace requires a journey through it. This begins with a "want to" and ultimately the courage to release feelings that reinforce our sense of victimization and powerlessness. Gaining the strength to acknowledge the emotional unrest fermenting within us and ultimately achieving a measure of objectivity regarding it (seeing it in the rearview mirror) can free us to begin the process of disconnection from the turmoil that keeps us captive. This releases energy to move forward.

I began my career as a registered nurse. After working in several areas of medical care, I settled into thirteen years as a psychiatric nurse attending to the care of children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. During this time, I returned to graduate school to complete my master of social work degree. Since finishing, I have practiced as a therapist, in a community clinic, and in a private clinic. Two years ago, I opened my own independent practice and continue with that today. My approach to counseling adults is based in cognitive-behavioral theory, better known as "talk therapy."

For the last ten years, I've worked with teenagers and adults of all ages to address a multitude of concerns: self-esteem, life changes, grief, anxiety, family/relationship problems, chronic illness, loved ones struggling with addiction, depression, and issues specific to LGBTQ+ folks. I also strive to consider the importance of race, disability, body size, gender identity, sexuality, and many more intersecting, marginalized identities within sessions. I'm committed to counseling that is anti-racist, is queer friendly, and rejects diet culture.

I have specialization working with children and families. As a registered play therapist, I am trained to help children express feelings and needs, to build a supportive atmosphere and to aid in the development of coping skills. I provide a venue for children to be themselves and feel safe. My focus is to utilize the child's strengths and the family's strengths to make positive changes. I strongly value the importance of family in their child's healing. I have also had the advantage of providing services to all ages of the lifespan, which has given me invaluable experience.

Whether we realize it or not, our past experiences teach us to adapt to difficult situations. Often our solutions are helpful, but sometimes a strategy we use has significant drawbacks. If we rely on these for future challenges, we can develop unhealthy patterns, feeling stuck with the same drawbacks. Using an approach informed by interpersonal, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral therapies, I work with my clients to set personal goals and overcome the barriers that have kept them from achieving their vision for their lives. I strive to provide a welcoming environment where clients feel safe exploring their most vulnerable issues.

Is there a stirring inside of you? Or maybe a tornado ripping through you? Whatever you may be experiencing, with quality therapy, it can be calmed and affected. There are losses we all have had, shared or experienced alone. Through conversation and visual expression, I can help you feel that you matter, feel less alone, and feel more safe. I provide Healing Through Art, both for individual and group therapy. I find that expressing yourself through art and conversation is sometimes a more direct means of understanding the issue and creating change.

Have you been experiencing the effects of a trauma(s) for way too long and you don’t want to keep rehashing the event in therapy, in other words, are you looking for a less confrontational therapy than what is typically offered? Are you now to the point that you have decided to commit to change and are agreeable to engage in 14 visits via video telehealth? I believe the client is the expert of themselves and I have additional tools through training, education, and experience to be part of a team approach with the client in the process of recovering from a traumatic event(s), as they are defined by Criterion A in the DSM-5 for PTSD.

My practice utilizes an integrative (i.e., CBT, interpersonal, and humanistic) approach through a multicultural lens. I enjoy working with adults with diverse backgrounds, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, economic status, nationality, and cultural values. Specific areas of experience include insomnia (treatment modality is CBT-i), anxiety (e.g., generalized anxiety, OCD), mood (e.g., dysthymia, depression), stress, life transitions (e.g., transitioning to college, changing jobs), and chronic medical management (e.g., diabetes, heart disease). I can provide assessments/letters for gender affirming surgeries and HRT.
