Family Therapy in Fort Wayne, IN

I have always had a passion for working with children and their families. The majority of my experience has been working with children in a variety of settings: residential, after school programs, schools and providing individual and family therapy to children and adults who have experienced significant trauma, behavior concerns, anxiety and depression.

I primarily work with individuals, marriages, couples, and teens in a variety of areas, including trauma, boundaries, communication, and addictions. I have a passion for walking with wounded people during what often seems like the worst, most broken, and hopeless time of their lives and working toward restoration, reconciliation, forgiveness, and hope. I am also a credentialed EMDR Therapist. I have been married for 36 years and have 6 grown children, 9 grandchildren, and 1 great-grandchild. I love spending time with my family and riding my Harley all over the country.

I specialize in helping those with anxiety, depression, & relationship issues. Whether it is a relational, work, school, or family issue, talking about it with someone often aids in clarity and change. I want to help those individuals/families who are struggling to make sense of the chaos, look for understanding insight, and make those changes that will help them to start feeling more hopeful and excited about life again.

Hello. Thank you for inquiring about counseling services. I look forward to hearing from you. I provide services for individuals, couples, and families, ages ranging from preteen (12) - adulthood.

I’m looking forward to walking through this season together!

I know that seeking help is not a comfortable space for many. I believe in the resiliency of every individual and appreciate the uniqueness of families. It is humbling to partner with you or someone you love as we address issues that cause distress and play out in different aspects of life. Our shortcomings are many, our strengths enormous, and our weaknesses reveal our humanity, regardless of life experiences, ethnicity, culture, age, religion, or sexual orientation. I am passionate about helping and supporting families and individuals find healing through approaches in my clinical training to help toward wholeness.

Reaching out for help is an important step toward making positive change in your life. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a collaborative one where I help you help yourself along the path of change. I have been working in the mental health field since 2003 and work with children, adolescents, and adults. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy in a safe and nonjudgmental environment.

I am a Licensed Social Worker with a passion for decreasing the stigma surrounding mental health and promoting the health and well being of my clients. For my undergraduate degree, I moved from Central Jersey (Yes! It exists!) to South Jersey to attend Stockton University. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work with a Minor in Behavioral Neuroscience from Stockton, and then moved on to attend graduate school in Philadelphia. I received my Master of Social Work Degree with a clinical concentration from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice in May of 2020.

I have been treating mental health issues for the past 20+ years and focus my services on individual as well as family/couples sessions. In addition to providing psychotherapy, I also provide services for couples dealing with separation, divorce, or custody issues.

I have worked extensively with at-risk youth and families, addressing trauma, depression, anxiety, and the effects of substance abuse on family dynamics. I utilize humanistic and existential psychotherapy to meet clients where they are and assist them in achieving their therapeutic goals. I gained specialized experience in multicultural counseling and bi-cultural adjustment through serving the refugee population of Fort Wayne and, I have a background in gender activism and politics. I use my experience working with marginal populations to create a safe and affirming space for all individuals.

We offer in-person & tele-health across the lifespan from toddlers to seniors. We offer family, individual, & couples' counseling. We believe the decision to seek therapy is a courageous step.

Everyone needs a space where they feel their thoughts and feelings matter. I aim to create a space where people can explore what's on their mind without fear of judgment. I’m experienced with EMDR and Internal Family Systems informed care, which are powerful approaches that help people to process trauma and become a wiser, more balanced version of themselves. I specialize in treating PTSD, issues with dissociation, LGBTQ+, and anxiety/depression. I also enjoy working with addictions or those who are in recovery from addictions, as well as with children and teens.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist who is also a member of the LGBTQI community and a strong advocate for Human Rights as well as the concerns related to the LGBTQI community. I believe that when individuals feel unbalanced they experience more struggles in their lives. The mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects must all be given attention so that balance in all facets of a person's life can be more easily obtained. The process of therapy is meant to help guide and encourage the client to address current and past issues that may be causing an individual to struggle to gain personal balance and happiness.
