Accepting new clients, in-person in South Bend or via telehealth anywhere in the state of Indiana. June 2026 availability. Online scheduling is available through my website. I offer a unique blend of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.) EMDR is not a traditional "talk therapy." It is a highly effective and efficient "brain" therapy that will get you lasting results in a fraction of the time, and often with less "talking." Together, we will develop a plan to process "old stuff" that has been keeping you stuck and blocking your ability to live fully and confidently.
Your brain wants to heal. With EMDR, we first drain some of the emotional charge that has been attached to your past experiences (the fear, the shame, the anger.) Only then is your brain able to tap into its natural healing and problem-solving capabilities. When your whole brain is finally free to work on these old problems, new solutions will emerge.
What negative beliefs do you hold about yourself? "I'm worthless." "I'm a failure." "I'm not good enough." "I'm not safe." "I'm responsible for everything." Many of our negative self-beliefs were formed years ago. These beliefs are HEAVY and they only get heavier over time. Use EMDR to transform these beliefs and witness a profound life change.

I use Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR.) Often, my clients opt to use these modalities in combination, since EMDR focuses on reducing the emotional charge of our life experiences, processing, and ultimately shifting core beliefs about ourselves, while SFBT focuses on doing more of "what works" for you in terms of mindset and behaviors.
