Teletherapy for Indiana

Having someone listen who can reflect your thoughts and feelings and help your perspective be heard is the start of our therapeutic relationship. I am here to assist in your understanding as you seek solutions and balance in managing challenges, big or small, affecting daily life functions. My areas of interest include children, young adults, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, faith/spiritual concerns, career transitions, and family relations. My life experiences in education, career counseling, and the arts enrich and support helping families and children seeking mental wellness. I provide in person and telehealth services.

Humans have a biological need to feel safe and worthy of love. In a world that repeatedly invalidates sensitivity and vulnerability, it’s not surprising that many of us struggle to feel happy, attain goals and find fulfilling romantic relationships. Some of us turn to substances, while others over function. If we are parents, we may find that we accidently repeat hurtful dynamics with our own children. Suddenly, or not so suddenly, we find ourselves struggling with guilt, shame and hopelessness. I am here to provide a warm and non-judgmental space, so that we may explore the strength and resilience you already posess.

Now accepting Medicaid! Hey! You! You matter! My name is Les and I want to help you with whatever situation you're facing. We all need help once in a while and sometimes, often times, admitting we're in need is the hardest part. If you've made it this far into my profile then you're past the biggest hurdle. Every journey, both the easiest and the hardest, begin with a single step, and you’ve accomplished that step. Let me help you with the rest. I hope to work with you, and do my absolute best!

If you’re looking for practical, affirming, and person-centered support, you’ve found the right page. I’m here to help you explore your goals and take intentional, logical, and manageable steps toward the life you'd like to see for yourself. Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, existential dread, grief, trauma, or just trying to figure yourself out or find your way in this world, I am here to be a consistent and reliable presence of support, compassion, and empowerment to support you in processing through your experiences and overcoming any obstacles you face.

I'm passionate about serving communities of people who have been underserved, and possibly harmed, by the fields of counseling and psychology in the past including: the LGBTQ+ population, those with non-traditional relationship structures such as polyamory, the kink community, and neurodivergent individuals. I strive to make therapy a comfortable and safe environment for people of all cultures, gender expressions, and sexual orientations. I am trauma-informed, sex and kink- positive, and body-neutral. I value social justice and hold anti-racist, disability-informed, feminist values, that I carry through my work.
