Suicidal Ideation Therapists in 47403

We all have challenges we face and in moving through those it is so helpful to have guidance. I see my role as providing a safe space for you to feel comfortable sharing your journey. I can assist you in discovering new insights into your situation, bringing clarity regarding your challenges, recognizing unhelpful ways of thinking, developing new skills and cultivating optimal potential for growth and desired changes. Our relationship that develops and grows is the foundation of the collaborative work we can do offering encouragement and support along the way.

My specialities include trauma focused therapies, foster/adoption issues, depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. My goal is to provide a safe and welcoming space for you to learn about yourself and set attainable goals for a healthier you. No matter the challenges you face, I can help you find ways to feel better and live fuller in your daily life.

Therapy is a time to reach out and begin to make changes for how you want your life to be different . . . and a therapist helps you find the courage, gather the tools necessary and choose a path to go after it. I have over 25 years experience working with children, families and individuals to assist them in getting back on track with their lives. Specialty areas include children with behavior issues, recovering from abuse and trauma, and coping with divorce, along with all ages of adults wanting a higher quality of life as a result of anxiety and depression.

Do you feel like you've never fully been able to put the past behind you, no matter how hard you've tried? Perhaps you find yourself making the same mistakes over and over or inadvertently repeating self-destructive behaviors, reacting in a way that doesn't fit with how you want to behave in your adult life. Or maybe you even have nightmares or memories that pop up on their own that feel as awful as it did the day that it happened. Do you ever feel worthless, ashamed, powerless, unsafe, or not good enough? If any of this feels true, you're not alone. I've worked with clients that experience this and more for the past 15 years.

My speciality is building close rapport with my clients who have told me throughout my years of counseling they feel able to talk with me openly. I believe this is due to the fact that I adhere to the Rogerian Principle of unconditional positive regard and a non-judgemental stance. Treating others with respect and dignity facilitates true self-examination and an opportunity for personal growth. Close rapport is the foundation that will maximize the effectiveness of my cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, treatment that will allow you to quickly reclaim your sense of well-being and optimal level of functioning.

I have worked with many different types of clients, including survivors of domestic violence, individuals with dementia, and individuals with severe mental illness and addiction. I have worked with individuals who are or have been incarcerated as well, and individuals in an acute mental health setting. I am passionate about creating a safe space for my clients and working with a client-centered approach that uses evidence-based practices.

I like to work with children, adolescents, and adults using the creative process to support and encourage young people to understand themselves, their issues, and the world. We all have problems in life, and mental health-related concerns are some that need our attention daily. Children experience the same problems that we as adults do. However, they may look and feel different due to their development and emotional strength. Each family may have different goals and needs; understanding and focusing on each child and patient and their needs is important, and having verbal and non-verbal ways to do so can be what is needed.

We all have trauma, obstacles, setbacks in life, or times where we don't feel our best. It can be a struggle to just get through the day. Sometimes we find that those traumas and obstacles are too big to overcome on our own, and we need help. Therapy can be an excellent place to process through and heal from trauma, gain new coping skills or improve old ones, and develop the self-awareness and insight to reach new levels of personal growth. Whether it's a struggle with a mood disorder like depression/anxiety, major life adjustments like divorce, or processing through a complex trauma history, helping others heal is what I love to do

My passions include working with mid to late life adults who have experienced trauma and adverse childhood experiences. Traumatic events and early childhood attachment wounds impact our lives psychologically, emotionally, and physically and often lead to substance use, dissociation, disordered eating/negative body image, chronic anxiety, depression, and other life challenges. I am also keenly aware of the personal impact of systemic oppression and work to support people who are in marginalized groups while also continuing my own education.
