My vision is to help clients get away from dysfunction to full potential, to help them live a life worth living. I enjoy clients who do not feel "in-tune" with themselves because of past experiences & it is important to me to help realign their lives in order to be intentional about who they want to be, what boundaries they want for life, & also to help them take care of themselves. Whether your struggles are a result of past trauma, divorce/broken relationships, life transitions & changes, or whether it is just a little bit of adjustments needing to be made, set aside the politics/pressure of the world, I want to help YOU!

Hello! My name is Carly and I am a graduate of Indiana Wesleyan University.

As a therapist, I’m going to help you find your strengths so we can build on your existing foundation to help you reach your counseling goals and heal.

I enjoy working with adolescents, and the individual family members around them. I am dedicated to helping families navigate complex dynamics, developing goals to achieve harmony, and a consistent level of functioning and overall wellness .

If you've ever found yourself in a situation where you needed support but didn't know where to turn, you're not alone. I recall my initial attempts at seeking therapy in my younger days, where encounters with judgmental counselors deterred me from seeking help for a while. As life unfolded, it became evident that something wasn't right, prompting me to persistently search for a compassionate guide who would listen without judgment and aid me in my healing journey.

Hello there! As a therapist, I am warm, open, encouraging, and direct. I consider myself an active therapist, combining experience, education, creativity, and sense of humor with a down-to-earth, realistic approach to counseling. I provide a safe space for clients to express themselves honestly, get to understand their true feelings, and working together to figure out how to use that information towards a journey of healing. I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, mood disorders, trauma, stress management, life transitions, and health/wellness.

Are you ready to make changes, but not sure where to begin? Have you felt limited by your anxiety &/or other negative emotion but want a better life? Have you tried therapy before, but it just didn't seem to make a difference or you're ready to do more work? If you answered yes to any of these, I can help! I'm a solution focused therapist meaning I help you problem-solve to tackle the issues that are bothering you. We work together on building awareness of how your thinking keeps you in unhelpful patterns. Your goals set the stage for what we work on each session and I teach you skills to manage your emotions.

It is my personal and professional belief that everyone is capable of discovering their most authentic and successful self, but may occasionally need assistance in their journey to personal enrichment. I have been lucky enough to find those people in my own life, and I consider it an honor to serve that purpose for my clients in a warm, welcoming, yet professional fashion. I respect the individual needs of varying cultural backgrounds, and enjoy finding common ground with varying clientele.

I believe progression towards healing is always possible. The ability to heal is not the problem. It is getting the right help and doing “the work” that creates healing. A big part of the healing is feeling valued, understood, accepted, and heard in the therapeutic relationship.

My favorite aspect of working with children, families, and adolescents involves getting to know and develop relationships with every individual. Helping an individuals and their families navigate difficult situations and celebrate positive growth in therapy and everyday situations is such a unique and positive aspect of being a part of a family’s therapeutic team. I utilize therapeutic techniques from play therapy, art therapy, talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and more. Currently accepting clients with early afternoon and daytime availability.

Many people when searching for a therapist wonder “How could this person help me? How are they different?” – I’m a believer that what you’re looking for is not out there, it’s in you!

I hope to create a space where difficult topics like sex and intimacy can be discussed in safe and helpful ways. It can feel like a very lonely place when your most intimate relationships are not going so well. I will provide a supportive, and judgment-free space. Let’s work together to find some solutions!
