I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Ball State University. My approach to therapy can be described with a quote from a mentor of mine. “If I can make a difference in one chapter of someone’s life story and help it have a better ending then that makes this career worthwhile.” My own experiences have shown the power in having someone show up for you during a difficult time. If you are seeking new perspectives and needing someone to show up for you then therapy is a good place to start the journey.

Transforming lives and empowering individuals to reach their full potential is my mission. As a mental health professional, I provide a nurturing environment that fosters growth and self-discovery. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each client's unique needs.

I aim to help children, adolescents, and adults navigate family conflict issues, trauma, mood disorders, grief, loss, relational distress, life transitions, and stress management challenges.

In my practice providing psychotherapy to adults, adolescents, and couples, I offer a comfortable and confidential place where clients can explore feelings and concerns safely, while also addressing their most difficult problems or life challenges.

I believe in tailoring the experience for each individual/couple, drawing upon multiple approaches for lasting results.

How often do you say to yourself, “I feel stressed or overwhelmed.”? In today’s fast-paced world we have less time in our daily life to process our experiences and feelings.

“Dig within. Within is the wellspring of Good; and it is always ready to bubble up, if you just dig.” Marcus Aurelius. I've been fortunate enough to witness the ability that psychotherapy has to reflect a clear and uplifting view of your true self. Our emotions are deep, complex, and often misunderstood. By safely building meaningful context around your emotions, thoughts, and experiences, you understand yourself more clearly. This understanding leads to a freedom to pursue a life and future that makes you truly happy.
