Teletherapy for Indiana

Thank you for taking the first step towards healing by seeking a counselor. I am here to listen and be supportive on your journey, while not being judgmental. of your journey. Hopefully while working together, you are not only able to find healing, but also start to take steps back into God's purpose for you. We have a Greater Purpose in life than our current situation. Just like the seasons changed the leaves on a tree, our situations in life changes. I understand the importance of living a Biblical life in our current society. Sometimes we need a safe space to be human and apply our faith without fear while healing.

So many people are struggling with emotional pain. You may have discovered that, the ways you are trying cope are not working. We can work together to make changes to improve your life. I will put effort into getting a good understanding of what you are going through. Then together we will make plans to improve your situation.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, depressed or like your life seems to be really hard right now? Maybe you have been feeling disconnected in your relationship due to having the same arguments, the same issues, or feeling like roommates, and you just don't know how to make it better. Or, maybe you have recently gone through a divorce or breakup and you just don't know how to pick up the pieces and get your life back. Or, maybe you are just tired of always putting yourself last and have lost who you are and what you want out of life. You really just want to experience some peace, clarity, and to get your life back.

Life didn’t used to feel so difficult. Work, life, and love were never this hard before. But now? Now, you're lucky if you make it through the day without feeling totally overwhelmed or zoning out in front of the TV once you get home. Actually, you used to really enjoy your life, even on the tough days. But now, it's like the only thing you want to do is hide—better yet, stay home and sleep. You're desperate to get back to a place where you don't dread the day, where you can actually enjoy your work, life, and relationships again. Those days feel pretty far away sometimes—but you haven't given up hope (yet).

COUPLES, ADULTS, & FELLOW THERAPISTS: Are you struggling feeling overwhelmed with life? Worried about the future and what’s going to happen? Do you ever feel like your thoughts just won’t quit? Do you have little to no motivation to do anything? Are you feeling burnt out and tired all the time? Has there been infidelity in your relationship, and you’re tying to work through it? Are you worried you won’t be able to trust your partner again? Are you having trouble connecting with each other? Do you feel hopeless in how to mend the breaks in your relationship?

There is no such thing as an ideal client. That is too boring. The way I do therapy is relaxed. I am not your average therapist, and I am not going to be like, "How does that make you feel?" but I am going to say, "What up! How are we doing today?" I never stop learning, and when you have me as a therapist, you will see that you will fall back in love with learning. Overall, I am just honored you allowed me to help you! Also, the best way to reach me is to Email over calling due to normally being in session, and I want to respond to you as quickly as possible!

Are you struggling to find relaxation in the midst of life's craziness? Do you find it difficult to prioritize yourself? Now is a great time to engage in counseling and rediscover joy in your day to day life. Re-energize yourself to unearth what is truly important to you. Establish strong communication skills to share with others what you need.

You have choices, and sometimes all the choices suck. They just do. I help you find your way through the choices. I believe you matter, and your feelings matter. You don't matter more than anyone else, but you certainly don't matter less! I work hard to understand what you're experiencing.

There are many reasons people seek out counseling, but the underlying reasons are that we are looking for change, meaning, or healing. Whatever your individual needs may be, I commend you for taking the first steps in addressing your situation head-on. Each client is unique, and therefore, there is no one right approach that may work best for everyone. Because of this, I use a trauma-informed integrative style to give you, the client, space to be yourself in an empathic and non-judgmental environment.

When anxiety and depression get the final word, we end up missing out on the life we truly desire to live. We all want to care for the people we love, experience success, and feel peace, but even our deepest values seem impossible to live out when we feel like we can't enjoy the present moment. Therapy offers the support we need to focus on what matters to us, even during painful or unexpected seasons. Pulling from acceptance and commitment (ACT), cognitive-behavioral (CBT), and client-centered approaches, I journey with clients as they process their stories and offer practical tools needed to experience relief and authenticity.

I feel disconnected and alone. I don't have anyone around that really understands my problem. I don't want to burden my friends and family with my concerns. I'm worried someone will judge me if I tell them the truth. Have you had some of these thoughts? Fear of being judged or burdensome keeps a lot of people from finding the help they want.

Life circumstances can become overwhelming and long term therapy is too slow. You need help now. I use actively accelerated therapies and focus on short term solutions and your emotional health. Many people see results in days instead of weeks. Fear anxiety and depression robs us of happiness. My approach of client centered counseling helps you to work through problems, rediscover you strengths and to meet you true wants, needs and desires.

I am a licensed mental health therapist with over 13 years of experience. I have extensive experience working with teens, adults and elders. I work with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, grief, self- esteem issues, women’s issues, communication skills among other disorders. I believe in a holistic approach to psychotherapy. Working with several local community mental health centers have provided me with a strong foundation to work with a variety of client populations including outpatient therapy, inpatient psych, and chemical dependency and addictions. I have also spent a year working in residential treatment.

Do you feel that mental health providers ignore your spiritual health when treating your depression, anxiety, marital problems, PTSD, or other mental health issues? Is Christianity a significant part of who you are and do you feel unable to bring that up during counseling sessions? Do you feel like your mental health provider views your reliance on Christianity as unhelpful or possibly even a hindrance to successful treatment of your mental health issues? Do you avoid bringing up your Christian beliefs during healthcare assessments because of fear that the provider may look negatively on you? Most Americans will answer yes.

I provide telehealth appointments to patients in Washington State and Indiana. Feeling stressed or overwhelmed and needing support to cope with life challenges? Need some relief, or to see the light at the end of the tunnel? Life is hard. Sometimes you need empathetic support and expert guidance to cope with complicated and stressful situations.

I strive to join with my client where they are, hear their story or process of thinking, and then offer support while they embrace their current struggle or situation. Then I help empower them to find answers from their own strengths that align with their beliefs and existing skills. I teach and help clients practice new skills when needed. My focus throughout our work together is to assure my client they are not alone in their struggle and they can heal and feel whole once again.

I firmly believe everybody has the ability to change and grow positively no matter what their present circumstances may be or what their past may have included. Often, by making only a few small changes in one’s ways of thinking and behaving their quality of life can greatly improve in a short time period.

You are worthy of peace and joy! If you are tired of feeling stuck, anxious, distracted, overwhelmed or detached from yourself and thinking of all the things you should be doing or unsure where to start....stop "should-ing" on yourself! Depression, grief, anger and anxiety are normal human emotions. However, with most things in life, it’s all about balance and moderation. Sometimes things from the past, fears of the future's uncertainty or the way we are wired creates patterns that interfere with living a more meaningful, joyful, and peaceful life- one that includes connecting with the healing powers already within you!
