Living day to day feels surreal and fake. You can remember a time when you were really you, but what happened? Pushing past panic attacks, anxiety, self destruction, rage restlessness, fatigue, depression or dissociation is getting harder. Little did you know that bad experiences in childhood and traumas you may have forgotten are causing this and it feels hopeless. I can help you alleviate the profound suffering you are experiencing and offer a way out for those who have lost hope. I practice cutting edge Brainspotting to access the primitive brain where all of this is stored. Often trauma is not healed with talk therapy alone.

Hi and thank you for being here! As humans, our brains are so resilient that with the right support and tools, we have the power transform ourselves.

Waitlist for new clients
For as long as I can remember I have wanted to be a counselor. This desire to help others led me to my undergraduate studies at Indiana University where I received a bachelor’s degree in public health, majoring in Human Development and Family Studies and double minoring in Counseling and Psychology. After my undergraduate studies, I spent almost two years working with adults and youth in an inpatient behavioral health hospital in my hometown of Ft. Wayne, Indiana. While there I worked with doctors and nurses to aid in the treatment of clients struggling with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, personality disorders, bipolar, etc.

I like to think of relationships like chemistry experiments. If you keep putting the same two elements together, you can expect the same results. But if you change even ONE element, the entire outcome shifts. By pursuing and investing in individual therapy, you’re bypassing the frustration of trying to change your partner, and instead addressing the piece you have true agency over: yourself. The key to healthy, lasting relationships doesn’t start with ‘fixing’ the other person, it starts with you.

Strength-Based Therapists
How does strength-based therapy work?
During strength-based therapy sessions, the therapist will ask about an individual’s experiences of stress, pain, or trauma with the goal of orienting the client to view themselves as a survivor rather than a victim, and focusing on their strengths rather than on their weaknesses. In framing a client’s personal narrative along these lines, the therapist and client work together to identify existing skills that can be harnessed.
Is strength-based therapy evidence-based?
Strength-based therapy is an evidence-based treatment that has been studied extensively and shown to be effective across domains. The treatment has been found to be particularly effective in helping individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns. Strength-based therapy has been used by therapists to help clients for more than 60 years.
How long does strength-based therapy last?
There’s no precise timeline for strength-based therapy. The duration of treatment depends on the individual’s specific needs and goals and the severity of their concerns. Some individuals may find they achieve their therapeutic goals quickly, while others might benefit from ongoing support and guidance in order to continue progressing.
How effective is strength-based therapy?
Clinical research and decades of practice have shown strength-based therapy to be an effective treatment to improve mental health and well-being for many conditions. The treatment can engender a sense of connection and collaboration between the therapist and the individual, fostering a positive therapeutic relationship. For individuals with narcissistic tendencies, strength-based therapy may be less effective, as the focus on the individual’s strengths may undermine the work needed to honestly assess the challenges the individual faces.
