Teletherapy for Indiana

I am a licensed mental health therapist with over 15 years of experience. I have extensive experience working with teens, adults and elders. I work with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, grief, self- esteem issues, women’s issues, communication skills among other disorders. I believe in a holistic approach to psychotherapy. Working with several local community mental health centers have provided me with a strong foundation to work with a variety of client populations including outpatient therapy, inpatient psych, and chemical dependency and addictions. I have also spent a year working in residential treatment.

As a counselor, I've come to learn and deeply believe that "healing" isn't about erasing our pain and avoiding the things that make us uncomfortable—it's learning to transform our relationship to our pain, and finding new ways to interact with this challenging, unpredictable world we're all part of. Whether it's navigating burnout and overwhelm, trying to move forward from trauma, or learning how to love and be loved more deeply, I believe we're all just trying to do our best with what we've got, and that the right set of helping hands at just the right time can make a whole world of difference.

All of us face painful and challenging experiences at some point in our journey. And sometimes, we need extra support to move through the struggles, to grow, to heal, to learn and unlearn, and to find peace and harmony again. I am passionate about walking alongside you through the ebb and flow of life, as you process pain and trauma, relationship strain, grief and loss, and other hardships that accompany living. A central part of my practice is to provide support and encouragement in these moments while also helping you to move toward greater clarity, calm, and well-being.

Do you have trouble coping, staying calm, and focusing? Do you worry about everything, even things that haven’t happened yet? You are not alone. I help adults, college students and teens cope with stress, challenges and emotions. Many people of all ages, struggle with ADHD, anxiety, and sadness. These issues can affect your self-esteem, relationships, and goals. I'm a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in helping people like you. I can help you develop skills to focus, challenge your negative thoughts, calm your over thinking and relax. We will work towards overcoming your challenges and finding calm in your life.

I coach women (and sometimes men) to value themselves as much as they value others. My clients have had the following characteristics. See if any of these describe you. They want to be liked by everyone. They become anxious when others are angry with them. They avoid conflict at any cost. They judge themselves as never good enough. They are afraid to express differing points of view. They value the opinions others hold of them, more than they value their own self-approval.

“There is a disconnect between who I am and who I want to be" "I am ready to turn over a new leaf!". Let me help you take control of your life, thoughts, self-esteem, and motivation. We can work together to help you get back to a life of joy and a passion to live again. My ideal client is ready for growth, self-exploration, and inspiration! You have already made the important first step by searching what possibilities might be out there. If you are ready to do some work, give me a call! I am a structured clinician and my motto is "I don't waste your time".

One of the most difficult things we can experience is in not knowing what comes next. Maybe you feel lost, confused, or broken - that some part of you is missing, and the daily struggle to keep it together for yourself or your loved ones feels impossibly overwhelming. Maintaining the obligations of family, work, and friendships can be so exhausting that it seems easier to avoid them altogether. Maybe you’ve considered therapy before, but thought it was too expensive, time consuming, or worry you might be seen as "weak." But how would it feel to find yourself again? To stop, catch your breath, and learn to find peace among the chaos?

My focus is to help find solutions for the concerns you bring to counseling. As a licensed marriage & family therapist, I work with couples & individuals. I utilize solution-focused techniques to build hope & create change. I also work from a systemic approach to improve relationships. I have been trained as a Professional Christian counselor & can include those services upon request. However, I respect those who do not desire to include a spiritual component. My areas of emphasis include marital issues, healthy emotions & boundaries. Contact me to find your solutions! PLEASE NOTE: the above number CANNOT receive TEXT messages.

Have you ever wondered, "Who am I? Whose life is this?" Have you asked yourself, "What is my purpose?" These are questions I love exploring with clients, whether individually, within a relationship, or with entire families. These questions can leave you feeling lost or hopeless, and miserable. But change is possible. Perhaps counseling hasn't worked in the past. Hypnotherapy or holistic wellness may be another option in your search for yourself.

You are worthy of peace and joy! If you are tired of feeling stuck, distracted, or minimizing yourself and thinking of all the things you should be doing or unsure where to start....stop "should-ing" on yourself! Depression, grief, anger and anxiety are normal human emotions. However, with most things in life, it’s all about balance and moderation. Sometimes things from the past, fears of the future's uncertainty or the way we are wired creates patterns that interfere with living a more meaningful, joyful, and peaceful life- one that includes connecting with the healing powers already within you!

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.

Accepting new clients. Late afternoon /evening sessions available. Are you unsure how to balance your responsibilities, self-care, and relationships? By obtaining and maintaining optimum mental health you will be better equipped to deal with life challenges. I firmly believe everybody has the ability to change and grow positively no matter what their present circumstances may be or what their past may have included. Often, by making only a few small changes your quality of life can greatly improve in a short time period.

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? The stress shows up in your body and mind. Your back hurts. Your head hurts and you struggle with sleep. You've gotten used to putting yourself last--ignoring your needs. You say "I'm ok...I'm fine; I've just gotten used to it.; it is what it is; "I'll take care of me later" but later never comes. You try to keep pushing. But you're screaming in silence hoping someone hears and helps; Deep down you know there’s more to life. You want to be healthy and whole. Allow someone to help care for you, listen to you, and build you up.

Are you looking for a safe space to explore your past, present and future, but have been hesitant because of the fear of being judged or misunderstood? Are you someone who wants to share their story, struggles, and hopes, but wants therapy to provide observable change? Many of my clients say these are the reasons they were hesitant to seek therapy. I work hard to create a safe, judgement free place for you to share your story so we can explore the tools for you move forward.

Our goals in therapy are to make dynamic changes in your life, or learn to face uncertainty with emotional resilience, to thrive and flourish even after trauma or loss. I offer a dedicated, experienced and professional listening ear, compassionate spirit, and a clear, supportive guiding voice. Learn to develop your strengths, coping skills, and improve your energy. Our focus is to change, to solve the problems at hand, and to learn how to problem solve for the future, and create lasting differences for an improved lifestyle. Hablo Español, Je parle français.
