I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Indiana and received my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have five years of experience working in a community mental health setting and also work at a private practice.

I have already counseled my ideal client. I worked with a client who came to me in her most significant time of need. She was ready to put in work and wanted to develop. She was diagnosed with Bipolar I and had several suicide attempts. She could externalize her mania and use fitness and wellness to push through her episodes. She is happy and healthy and uses her experiences to help others. My services involve psychotherapy using techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing (MI), with a trauma-informed framework.

My passions lie with individuals that suffer from PTSD and the effects of trauma. Once you identify the root cause of your symptoms, which can range from depression, panic and anxiety, nightmares or insomnia, even chronic health problems, you can truly begin to heal and grow. I tend to utilize a lot of CBT and DBT interventions and I do like to assign tasks for you to practice between sessions. Although these are serious issues, I believe in my heart that a sense of humor is absolutely vital to survival!

Hello there! Taking the necessary steps toward finding a therapist and starting therapy can be so intimidating. Give yourself credit for getting this far! I believe therapy is the most impactful when you have a genuine and meaningful connection with your therapist and because of this, I prioritize building compassionate and trusting relationships. My approach is rooted in an identity-affirming and trauma-informed framework and I strive to create a welcoming and empowering environment for all individuals.

As a counselor I blend empathy, creativity, and strategic thinking to guide you toward emotional healing and personal transformation. Specializing in Parts work, Person-Centered, and EMDR, I offer support for a range of people. I deeply enjoy working with couples, including those in ENM relationships, enhancing communication through connectedness. I also love working with children, who teach me the power of being your whole self and living in the present. As a parent, I adore helping parents overcome societal pressures and parental guilt, guiding them from survival mode to a state of regulation and well-being.

I am passionate about collaborating with clients from all walks of life through the journey towards body acceptance and peace with food. My goal is to work with clients to develop emotional understanding, insight, and skills that work for their lives.

As a United States Navy veteran, I understand and connect with veterans however, I also work with adolescent and adult clients with a variety of mental health issues. I would like to work together to deepen your awareness and understanding of your needs, desires, and patterns of relating, so you may experience a more authentic and fulfilling life. It is my belief that emphasizing your positive traits and behaviors will promote growth, healing, and fulfillment within yourself. To do this I utilize a combination of mind and body-based approaches such as talk therapy, CBT, CPT, self-compassion, and mindfulness practices.

I strive to provide an open, safe, authentic and LGBTQ+ affirming space for individuals to process through life challenges, experiences, stressors, etc. I use a strengths - based, client-centered approach incorporating multiple evidenced based modalities. I have experience working with individuals impacted by cancer, chronic/ life-limiting illnesses, anticipatory grief, grief/loss, relationship concerns, substance abuse, fertility concerns, anxiety, depression, self-identity, trauma and more. It would be an honor and privilege to walk alongside you. Thank you for taking the first step in caring for your mental/emotional health!

My ideal client is someone who feels stuck concerning their relationships, emotions, work, finances, health, or purpose. They are looking for an identity outside of parent or worker. They are feeling depressed and hopeless lately. They are the type that is generally anxious, worried, or on edge. Their goal may be to change their life, but they are not sure how. They may have tried a ton of different self-help, spiritual, or healing modalities on their own but had moments where they have started to think it's never going to happen for them. They need to break free of nonproductive cycles and poor choices to change their lives.

My experiences with diverse populations have afforded me with ample opportunities to establish my specialties and identify where my particular skill set can be most effective. I specialize in relationship dynamics, codependency and attachment, parenting, and phase of life concerns. I primarily work with women and I have a passion for helping mothers find balance in their continuously changing roles and responsibilities.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana. I received my master's degree through Indiana University and have been practicing for four years. I help individuals battling with an array of mental health symptoms and help empower them to make positive changes in their life for a better future. I have experience with individuals with a history of trauma, addiction and depression/anxiety disorders.

I’ve always wanted to help people, but my earlier professions didn’t allow me to make the positive changes I desired for people, so I became a therapist. I’m passionate about helping individuals, and I want to bring that drive to help you reach your goals. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for people with OCD. Our deep understanding of the nuances and intricacies of OCD enables us to properly diagnose and treat it. Additionally, we have received intensive training in Exposure Response and Prevention Therapy (ERP)—the gold standard treatment for OCD.

In life, there are so many different transitions, chapters, stages, and events we experience that can leave us feeling overwhelmed. I understand the importance of listening empathetically, and not critiquing each thought one may have. The idea of therapy is not just obtaining tools to get us through life, but uncovering connections to those unhealed parts within us that have never been fully processed. Techniques offered in my sessions help build the ground work necessary to get us to a point that processing becomes possible.
