Couples Counseling Therapists in Evansville, IN
Do YOU feel stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck? Regardless of what has you-stuck or how long you have been stuck, it’s no fun being in that position. Yet, many of us live almost our entire lives in that position. Held captive by our own minds, family issues, generational strongholds, trauma, relationships, significant losses, and other stressors. Sometimes we can go years and not even realize that we are not actually living. I feel your pain, but…I also see your potential. It takes a moment of pain and struggle in order for you to have a major breakthrough and gain momentum again. There is purpose and power in your pain.

Not only do I understand the challenge in picking up the phone to make that first phone call for help, I understand and am mindful of the challenges of following through with this, every step of the way. I see my role as a therapist as helping each of my clients to move toward their best life. I work collaboratively with my clients to figure out what that means for them, and am mindful that my job as a therapist is to work myself out of a job.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Is there some loss, trauma, or pain from the past impacting your life today? Past pain or fears of the future can trigger anxiety and make life difficult to navigate. I work with clients to help them heal from past harm, grieve losses and move toward new beginnings. True, effective change and greater freedom is possible with a willingness and a desire to heal and to grow.

Life can be overwhelming sometimes, but you don’t have to navigate your healing journey alone! While making yourself vulnerable may seem scary, it is also one of the strongest indicators of courage. When faced with overwhelming emotions, it can feel comfortable to avoid those feelings; however, comfort and courage cannot exist at the same time.

Picture this: it's 2 am, you planned to be asleep hours ago but the impending doom of tomorrow's tasks is triggering an existential crisis. You realize it's been 48 hours since you've thought about water and your screen time is sending you concerning notifications. You're not certain, but you may have forgotten to take your meds today. Not to mention, the unprocessed trauma from your childhood has somehow manifested into a form of heartburn that feels deadly. If any of this sounds familiar, welcome!

Above all, I want my clients to feel at ease with me and part of a partnership, working toward their ultimate goal(s).
Sometimes therapists are called the "wounded healers" because from their own life experiences they have decided to help people. I am proud to be one of those therapists. I have had a wealth of life experiences and losses and can truly empathize with my clients. I have experience in many areas of Social Work; including housing homeless people, coordinating adoptions, and advocating for pre-adjudicated youth. As a Clinical Therapist, I have worked in Home Based Therapy, Community, Residential, and Addiction. I firmly believe that these varied populations and organizations have enriched my integrative approach to therapy.

I prefer to work with adults and older adolescents struggling with addictions, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and trauma. I have a vast amount of experience working in the field of trauma. Due to my experience working in community mental health, I also work well with those with intense mental health and substance abuse treatment needs. I have worked both inpatient and outpatient experiences, resulting in my flexibility to help stabilize in a crisis and to work with individuals at any level. A client who desires to accept partnership and engage in being open to change is the most ideal client.
