501 Allen Court Suite 2258 Chesterton, IN 46304
I have over 25 years of practice with clients experiencing problems with blended families, LGBTQ+ relationships, intergenerational issues, self-esteem and personal growth, conflict management, couples communication and intimacy concerns, divorce, parental coaching, addiction and recovery, and the management of grief and loss. I have a special focus on working with LGBTQ+ clients. I work with clients who have been experiencing emotional issues (depression, anxiety, compulsion) and trouble coping with life transitions.
I offer an integrative, strength-based approach to help clients develop their own voices and pursue their unique paths to individual fulfillment. My approach is collaborative and relational with a focus on the holistic health of my clients.
In addition to being a marriage and family therapist, I am retired U. S. Navy and I have an appreciation for the challenges of military life, active duty and veterans.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, Ill help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
