The problem is the problem, the person is not the problem. – Michael White and David Epston. The problems that you face do not have to define you as a person.

Learn to coexist with the challenges you have and learn how to better handle them so that you can have a more fulfilling life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 5 years of experience working with adolescents and adults. I enjoy working with clients to improve communication and emotional intelligence, set and reach life goals, process and move through life’s setbacks and traumas, and work through feelings of depression, anxiety, guilt, shame, grief, loss, and stress. I am accepting new patients.

For some, the thought of beginning therapy can be overwhelming and intimidating, and my goal as a therapist is to prioritize my clients’ welfare and adapt my counseling strategies to meet individuals where they are. As a person-centered therapist, I will offer support and guidance throughout the therapy process and help my clients develop hope and strategies to build a life worth living. My strengths-based approach of counseling allows me to build a safe, strong therapeutic alliance with my clients where we can work together to explore emotions, thoughts, and behaviors and make shifts that will enhance their lives.

I am a Licensed Social Worker and have been working in the field of Mental and Behavioral Health for over 10 years. I studied at the University of Indiana to receive Masters of Social Work and have continued my education to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked with children, teens, young adults, and adults with mild to severe mental health needs, to assist in managing day to day life.

Life doesn't always go according to our own plan. It takes courage and strength to admit it is time to seek help when you are in need of support and guidance. An investment in a therapeutic relationship can allow you to find a healthier way of interacting with those around you. As a therapist, I have a passion in helping people who are struggling with life’s challenges. I have worked with a broad spectrum of clients including individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, pregnancy/postpartum mood disorders, trauma, guilt, shame, family conflict/relationship issues, grief, and high stress.

Coming to counseling is no easy feat, and finding the right counselor can seem daunting. Life experience has helped me to understand this firsthand and is what drives my work as a counselor. It is my hope that through the process of building the therapeutic relationship, I can offer clients treatment modalities that are tailored to their needs. I value the counseling relationship and desire to practice with a client-centered approach. I have experience working with families, specifically with children and adolescent clients. My clinical passions include working with those struggling with difficult emotions and complicated grief.

I work to help individuals regain control, connection, and fulfillment in their lives. As an EMDR-trained therapist, my main specialty is working with those who have experienced trauma and are looking for help doing the work of healing. I take the time to understand what your needs are and collaborate with you to help you grow and meet your goals. I want to help you see noticeable changes in your life and remove barriers that are standing in your way. Therapy is your unique time to focus on your own needs where I can help you learn effective tools to cope in life and provide a safe space to experience and alleviate heavy emotions.

Life is hard and it doesn't always let us catch our breath before the next thing comes. Perhaps you need some help finding a solution for the next step or maybe you just need someone to listen to you and show some empathy. Sometimes you don't understand why you get so angry, irritable, or emotional about the small inconveniences that come up in life and maybe you'd like to be more mindful and in control of your emotions/reactions. Whether it be someone to listen to you, someone to find a solution with, or just to get back control of your life so you can be the expert of it, I can help.

I have experience working with a wide range of clients including young children as well as older adults. My counseling style is relaxed, warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I believe in a person-centered counseling approach where my clients are able to feel a sense of respect and autonomy. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral and strengths based. I will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I thoroughly believe that ANYBODY can benefit from therapy no matter what age, gender or race.
