Teens and adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward—often dealing with anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, or the added challenges of intellectual or developmental disabilities. Many are thoughtful and trying their best but feel frustrated by patterns that are not changing. I provide a supportive, structured space to make sense of what’s happening and build practical strategies that improve daily life, confidence, and independence.
Owner of Encompass Behavioral Group, I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, and life challenges, including intellectual and developmental disabilities. I also provide ADHD assessments for ages 6 and up. My approach is compassionate and structured, helping you understand patterns and build practical tools for everyday functioning.
Reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, especially when you are already carrying so much. You do not have to have everything figured out to begin. We can take things one step at a time, at your pace. Located in Portland, Indiana, I also work with individuals from nearby Ohio communities, including Mercer County.

I use a person centered approach in my practice. In your first few sessions, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. I believe it is important to focus on your strengths and identify what method is likely to allow you to gain momentum and develop practical yet effective strategies to achieve those goals.
