Therapists in Winona Lake, IN

If you are ready for some positive changes in your life for optimal wellness, let's work together! I am goal-oriented and solution-focused. I want to develop a strategy with you to get to the root of the concern, not simply surface-level change.

We aim to provide a safe therapeutic environment that promotes a deeper understanding of self, others, and faith. Our therapeutic approach is anchored in the Christian world view. Our goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

We all have parts of ourselves that we like, and we have parts of ourselves that frustrate, confuse, or scare us. I’m interested in the whole of a person - both internally and externally - and desire to create a safe space for all parts of my clients. It is my hope to help you create acceptance and safety for these parts of you as well. Being trained as a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) gives me a holistic, systems-focused approach to clients’ lives. My experience with clients has cultivated a passion for trauma-informed, attachment-based, and person-centered care.

I believe the client is the expert. You know your self better than anyone. You know how you feel when life happens, you know what frustrates you and what makes you angry. You know what is upsetting and what makes you sad, and you know when something isn't right or that something is off. The problem is that sometimes you don't know why, and if you don't know why, you can't fix it. I take an approach that starts with uncovering what you believe, because so much of what you believe becomes reality whether it's through our behavior or through some kind of a self fulfilling prophecy.

Schedule today! Accepting new clients. In-network with many insurance companies and Medicaid. First, I would like to take a moment to applaud you for taking this difficult first step in the change process towards a healthier more positive you. Finding the right person to help you make these positive changes can be challenging. I am here to be your change facilitator, your partner for becoming the person you want to be. If you’re looking to meet your potential, deal with a crisis, address relationship issues, mental health issues, addiction, depression, anxiety, self-esteem/image issues and more I can help.

When you're ready to grow and create positive change in your life, I can help you find your way to create that change. I currently treat individuals for anxiety, depression, and life and health transitions from age 15 up to those in their 80's. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution Focused interventions to help you create realistically achievable goals that are specific to your needs. I have worked in rural, suburban, and urban settings with people from all walks of life.

Those who seek therapy services are understandably looking for some type of change, whether it is to work towards a goal, reduce suffering, or develop new perspectives to move them forward on life’s journey. I work collaboratively with individuals to address their specific needs in a supportive and therapeutic manner, backed by tested treatment approaches.

‘If only I would have… I shouldn’t have… I should have known … Why wasn’t I more careful? How am I going to get through this?’ Having an emotional response to a serious experience like an accident, rape, or natural disaster is normal. Nevertheless, the everyday demands of life can be just as exhausting. Your boss has been pressuring you to work longer hours because of being short staffed. You feel guilty for working and not being able to spend time with your children, partner, other family and friends. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, with a focus on your personal self-care, may be complicated.

We pride ourselves in being a "full service" agency offering all types of counseling, testing and medication options.

Are you a parent with a child experiencing emotional or behavioral issues, finding yourself worn out, desperate to understand and help your child, and in need of support to find your way forward? Are you an adult impacted by and suffering from mental, emotional, or relational issues? Whether you're seeking to support your child or yourself, you need a safe space, a knowledgeable guide, and an empathic presence to help create the change and healing you desire to live your most meaningful and connected life. We are each our own best healer, with innate capacity and inherent wisdom. And we don't have to do it alone.

Life as a human can be an extremely challenging experience. Have you ever felt like you were made for something greater? You are a person, and as a person your life truly matters. I believe that we were created for something so much greater, and one of our great longings is to experience some of that greatness here on earth. Our experiences in life help to shape the way we view the world, and when bad things happen to us that can harm the way we see. I would love to walk alongside you to regain what seems lost. It is my hope to help all of my clients to optimize the person they were created to be! I look forward to meeting you!

Life brings challenges and sometimes it becomes overwhelming impacting our physical and mental health. Our ability to manage daily frustrations is tested, being present with our friends and family is difficult, finding joy and meaning in life is diminished and our sleep patterns change. Together we will explore what wellness and connection mean to you and chart a plan to reach this goal.

I enjoy counseling individuals as they work through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, grief, and life transitions. When facing a difficult life experience, many people feel discouraged or lose hope. Therapy can provide a way to form a trusting, collaborative relationship with someone who accepts you just as you are.

"I have over 30 years of experience, and have been in private practice since 2001, providing counseling for individuals, couples and groups." I enjoy working with older teens and adults providing counseling for issues related to depression, anxiety, abuse, bulimia, COE, trauma and relationship issues."
