Teletherapy for Chesterton, IN

My therapeutic style is grounded in cognitive behavior and solution-focused theories. As each client presents with unique concerns requiring personalized solutions, I believe in an integrative approach to therapeutic intervention specifically designed for each individual. As such, I incorporate therapeutic techniques from a number of orientations including but not limited to: cognitive behavior, solution-focused, person-centered, mindfulness, narrative, and strengths-based. I strive to create a calm and safe atmosphere in which clients feel comfortable sharing their story. I am experienced in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

Do you feel that people in your life do not listen or hear you when you speak? Being understood is the foundation and the most important starting point on any journey towards healing. Once you feel safe and understood, we can begin trying new more effective approaches to address these problems. I have a vast breadth of experience in the mental health field, working with diverse populations from Hospital settings to Community Mental Health. I use an eclectic blend therapeutic approach that includes mindfulness, cognitive behavior, and strengths-based approach. My counseling style is supportive, caring, and compassionate.

The best place you’ll ever find for centering yourself and growing in awareness is right where you are planted! Challenges are part of every journey. What becomes most important in moments of difficulty is not pulling away or reacting in a way that “uproots” where you are, but responding right where you are in a way that is grounding. Cultivate roots of SELF-awareness & build a foundation of meaning & value. When a person is able to recognize other possibilities and make a connection with their true sense of self, a shift can be made in these moments, opening up new directions that become self-determined. Grow through life!

I have over 20 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.
