Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Columbus, IN

Sometimes in life things happen that we don't feel we can solve on our own. Things can build up over time and take a toll on us emotionally and physically. Therapy is a place where you can make sense of things and heal. We can develop a plan specific to your individual needs using evidence based therapy techniques like Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reproccessing (EMDR). Both these therapies are extremely effective for treating anxiety, depression, and trauma related symptoms and distress.

Life can be stressful and at times overwhelming. Sometimes it can feel like you are carrying a heavy weight on your shoulders. I want to help you lift that weight. I am passionate about working with children, teens, and adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, and mood disorders, as well as those struggling to cope with everyday stressors. I tailor my therapeutic approach to each client I work with, whether that involves talk therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, or a combination of different strategies. Not sure which approach is right for you? We will work together to find the best fit.

My theoretical approach is client-centered in providing a laid back, safe, and non-judgmental atmosphere. I utilize evidence-based practices to support, encourage, educate, and empower my clients. My approach is collaborative in identifying goals and addressing them using strategies that work best for you. Collaboration plays an important role as we work together to increase awareness, communication, personal growth, and healing within yourself and your relationships. I believe it is important to focus on my client’s strengths to assist them in identifying coping strategies to address cognitive distortions and negative behaviors.

Change is possible and through the guidance and support of therapy, one can maximize all that life has to offer.

We all carry our past experiences with us. They help to shape us into who we are today and fill the pages of our book of life.

As we move through the chapters in our book of life, there are times when we can steer easily through these experiences. However, for those times that you may need support with navigating, I am here to help you reintroduce control, empowerment, fulfillment, and provide you with the tools needed to move forward.
