Therapists in Avon, IN

I have been in the fields of mental health and substance abuse for over 20 years. I enjoy working with all populations. In trying to navigate through substance abuse and mental health issues, there are many factors that envelope a person's ability to cope with life. I understand that asking for help can be difficult and identifying a need for change can induce some fears. I can help you identify any changes that are needed and offer encouragement and support through your journey of self preservation.

We all experience emotional ups and downs from time to time caused by events in our lives or even a recent diagnosis. I specialize in assisting those who suffer from depression, anxiety and addiction. Your symptoms may be triggered by job loss, relational problems, trauma, divorce or even loss of a love one. Your symptoms may effect your relationships with your family, friends, classmates or co-workers.

It is my goal as a therapist to come alongside each client, providing support, care, and a safe place to process and work towards personal well-being. I enjoy providing therapy from a variety of treatment modalities including cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, family systems, client-centered, and faith integration at the client’s desire.

We all go through seasons in our lives where it would be beneficial to have someone come along side and help us get out of our own muck. I work with a variety of people but particularly like helping people get past traumatic events or to have better relationships with others.

I am a provisionally licensed Social Worker who helps children and families navigate life challenges associated with anxiety and depression, Autism, ADHD, grief and trauma. I especially enjoy working with women, school-age children and older individuals. I earned a Master’s in Social Work from Indiana University in 2019 and am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma, Motivational Interviewing and Strengths and Empowerment. My style is warm and engaging and I find compassion-focused strategies to be particularly effective as I help my clients overcome challenges and achieve their goals.

Are you overwhelmed, stressed out, and feel like no matter how hard you try it's just not enough? During these difficult times, we all have a longing to be heard, valued, and respected. Helping individuals and families find peace and joy again is my passion. My approach with families is fun and interactive to give them the tools to learn to talk with one another about daily issues without feeling like every conversation turns into a battle. I work with families, couples, and individuals who often have difficulty communicating their emotions and needs without conflict.

Are your struggling with anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress? Do you desire tools to reduce and manage these symptoms? We are a client-centered organization here just for you. We believe FEAR is your number one enemy. Fear attacks the minds of millions causing spiritual, mental and physical illness. Freedom from fear is the only way to live the wholesome life promised to you.

It takes courage to make that first phone call to establish a therapy session and it takes even more courage to meet that therapist being vulnerable in discussing your concerns in this life. My goal when I meet every client is to support them in discovering how to make this life worth living. Many individuals go through life just coasting day by day trying to get by minute by minute. While I can not give you a magical solution to take care of all of life's problems, I can be there for you, listen to you and guide you towards living the best life you can live for you and your family.

When life becomes challenging, when self-care is slipping away, or when stress and struggles seem overwhelming or paralyzing, I want you to know that you are not alone. You are stronger than you realize. You can discover (or rediscover) your “authentic self” even when it seems impossible or unsurmountable. I am here to help. Together, we can assess what your authentic self needs and how to achieve it in mind, body and spirit. I’m here to guide, educate, and empower you. My treatment approach is one of curiosity and compassion so that during our sessions, you are free to slow down and safely practice mindfulness and self-care.

There is HOPE. No matter what you are walking through (depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems, addictions, domestic violence, poor self esteem, grief, etc.).....There is HOPE.

Coming to counseling is no easy feat, and finding the right counselor can seem daunting. Life experience has helped me to understand this firsthand and is what drives my work as a counselor. It is my hope that through the process of building the therapeutic relationship, I can offer clients treatment modalities that are tailored to their needs. I value the counseling relationship and desire to practice with a client-centered approach. I have experience working with families, specifically with children and adolescent clients. My clinical passions include working with those struggling with difficult emotions and complicated grief.

Have you experienced neglect, abuse, or traumatic events? Abuse is often hard to understand as victims tend to be authentic, honest, and hopeful. The effects of abuse and trauma bring multiple effects as it creates real changes in the way the brain processes - you are not alone. Has navigating medical answers or conditions created many emotions or even a loss of identity? Has someone you love been struggling with medical conditions? Have medical conditions brought loss to you or your family through the loss of a loved one, divorce, disability, stillborn, or miscarriage?

Are you struggling to embrace why you were created? Are you needing to be empowered to experience freedom from addiction, pain, abuse, and trauma? My experience has primarily centered around males, from childhood up through adulthood, who have dealt with depression and anxiety, traumatic relationships, crisis interventions, and various forms of addiction.
