Teletherapy for Greenwood, IN

My clients are often struggling with excessive stress, or anxiety and depression, and can be triggered by past traumas. Many are experiencing oppression, discrimination, prejudice, or stigma. They want a better quality of life, for themselves and for their children or loved ones. My clients are often looking for inner peace and happiness to fully enjoy themselves and to enjoy interacting with others in situations or environments, such as work, school and home. It’s finding resilience, for example through newly learned skills and insights, or a spiritual journey of meditation/prayer, as examples, that allow a better quality of life.

Congratulations on taking steps to create a new path for yourself and thank you for visiting my profile! My goal is to provide you with a comfortable space to explore challenges, thoughts, and feelings in order to heal. My background includes working in the mental health field for over 18 years in various capacities including in homes, schools, and outpatient community mental health settings.

Life’s stressors can be overwhelming. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, communication in relationships, or post-traumatic stress, you don't have to struggle alone. Therapy can help.

Are you tired of feeling tired? Or are you having trouble healing from past events on your own? If so, congratulations on taking this next step in improving your well-being! I’m excited that you have chosen me to help you with this journey. I appreciate the effort and resolve it takes to start improving your mental health and want you to know that I will be there for you every step of the way.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with almost a decade of experience in the mental health field. I work with teens, young adults, college students, and women living with OCD, anxiety, phobias, trauma, BFRBs (hair pulling, skin picking, nail biting), and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (postpartum depression, OCD, and anxiety). I am an active member of the International OCD Foundation and Postpartum Support International. I stay up to date with the latest research in mental health, engage in regular case consultation with field leaders, and complete continuing education trainings throughout the year.

Life is a journey. However, our journeys often include interruptions as a result of experiences such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, issues resulting from trauma, loss, divorce, relationship issues, parenting issues, and issues with aging, to name a few. These experiences can negatively impact our thoughts, feelings, and behavior and our overall quality of life. It is important to know that your life does not have to remain negatively impacted by what has happened to you.

Do you feel the stress of your daily life and need help managing? Do you struggle with trauma and want to try EMDR to improve your mindset? Life gets really tough sometimes. Relationships get hard and become difficult to manage. Figuring out your next move can be challenging, and you may be at a complete loss. You may be doubting yourself. Sometimes, people struggle because they don’t have support and feel alone. Sometimes, they never learned how to identify their own emotions and communicate them in a healthy or productive way. Sometimes, people struggle because they have unhealthy coping patterns.

Are you seeking support for your child? I work with families who are ready to make changes and work towards healing. My expertise is with youth and their families, using play based interventions to best meet the needs of children. I utilize play therapy to support parents and caregivers in deepening their connection with their children, and supporting children in expressing feelings, self regulation and accepting limits. I have experience with addressing trauma, depression, anxiety, attachment and relationship problems, nuances and challenges of parenting and exploration of gender and sexual identity.

Are you living your life on fire to keep everyone around you warm? Do you struggle with feeling like you deserve to be happy, or question if you even want to keep trying? Has a traumatic event or major life adjustment left you questioning where to go? If you feel any of these apply to you or your children, or if you need a therapist to discuss nuanced cultural and identity concerns you may be facing, I could be your perfect therapist.

Do you ever feel like you are not good enough or do not deserve to be happy or maybe you are overwhelmed with a ton of emotions due to a traumatic experience? Do you feel like you have an extreme emotional reaction to situations in your life? Sometimes we just need an objective listening ear to make some life changes. If you or your kid is struggling with anxiety, grief, trauma, life changes, or family discord (to just name a few) I could be the right therapist for you!

Are you seeking a path to healing and growth? Are you struggling with grief and trauma that you have experienced? Do you feel like you have no hope for your future or you have an anxiety about many things in your life? I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a passion for helping individuals navigate through the challenges of life. I graduated from Indiana University Fort Wayne in 2020, with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

I want to assist individuals and families in making positive and lasting change in their lives. I am supportive and direct in my practice and have been able to assist others with moving forward and toward their best self. I work to assist clients with identifying common stressors or barriers and identifying strategies for overcoming those thoughts, feelings, and challenges that are holding them back. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults and families to learn strategies to better manage stressors related to life change.

Do you find yourself struggling with the loss of a loved one and don’t know how to cope? Have you experienced trauma in your life that effects your day-to-day life? I have a history of helping others who are struggling with their identity, trauma history, adoption, LGBTQ+, anxiety/depression symptoms, self-worth, and relationship communication issues. If you are struggling to see all of the assets that you have within yourself to help you succeed, I will be there to help you grow as an individual and give you the tools necessary for growth moving forward. I feel that you are the best resource to your success and healing journey!

If you are looking for a non-judgmental space to explore why you are feeling the way you are feeling and what to do about it, this is it. I enjoy helping people feel not so alone while trying to figure out how to move forward. Life doesn't always have to be this hard. I know things can get better for you and if you are ready to find out how, let's get started. I am especially passionate about helping teens and young adults because we are setting up the habits and thoughts that will shape the rest of your life. I hope you take care of yourself today and look forward to meeting you!

Making the decision to start or continue your journey of growth and recovery through work with a therapist is an incredibly brave decision. I am glad to be here to share with you in this walk on your path. I have had a large variety of experience working with others for over 17 years in a community mental health setting and 20 plus years of experience overall. I have provided services in schools, homes, offices and the community with children/adolescents, families, and individuals. I feel fortunate to be able to support others (you) in being your best selves.

My practice is founded on meeting people where they are and helping them get to where they want to be. I am keenly non-judgmental and strive to create a safe and protected place to figure out the challenges and gifts in life and in ourselves; then help plan what to do with those challenges and gifts to live content and fulfilled lives. I mean that - it's how I work and strive to be daily. I feel honored when a client gives me the opportunity to walk for a brief period on his/her/their journey of life.
