Emotionally Focused Therapists in Indianapolis, IN

Welcome! I'm glad you're here. My passions are holistic practice, trauma informed treatment, healing from racial trauma, and social justice. I believe that healing is possible for everyone and that we are all connected. My goal is to create a space where you can bring your whole self and practice vulnerability, while also being challenged to try something new. One of the most important things about achieving your mental health goals is knowing how to love, trust, and accept yourself.

ATTENTION PARENTS WHOSE CHILD IS STRUGGLING WITH DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, OR INTERPERSONAL ISSUES (AT SCHOOL OR AT HOME): You have a teenager who needs someone to talk to, but you aren’t sure who they will feel comfortable with. When your child shares their challenging experiences, you want someone who can RELATE. You’re looking for someone who has lived what your child is facing, and who MADE IT THROUGH. Someone who has a shared understanding of the struggles of being a teen, someone who can provide support and empathy, and someone who has already learned to manage and conquer what your adolescent is feeling.

My primary focus is on helping you embrace resiliency and daily practices such as confidence, courage, peace, relationships, self-compassion, and honoring what you believe in. Doing this will help you to transform into the self you want to be.

Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, intimidating, even confusing. As a therapist, it is my goal to create a safe space in which you can explore life’s difficulties and to help you find your path to healing and growth. I have experience working with trauma, interpersonal and sexual violence, family of origin issues, anxiety, mood disorders, and gender and sexuality issues.

Consistent with several views expressed within the field of Positive Psychology, I believe in focusing on an individual's strengths and virtues to help individuals and families thrive. In addition to this approach, my collaborative, non-pathologizing style utilizes the inherent virtues of growth and change within individuals and families, allowing for a deeper understanding of each client's unique processes and functions, setting the stage for clients to develop self-agency and become the experts in their family system.

For the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and Empath, the world can be an overwhelming place. These individuals are “super sensing” - their central nervous systems process sensory and energetic information more deeply than the average person. Years of taking in this level of input without awareness and compassion can lead to symptoms of anxiety, depression, patterns of codependency, and unresolved trauma. Your heightened capacity to absorb information does not have to hinder your personal growth & well-being. I specialize in partnering with HSP’s & Empaths as they process traumatic experiences and create positive change in their lives.

My clients are solution focused and ready to work on creating change. Therapy takes courage. Be proud of taking that step. All are welcome. I work with clients who have been maligned by society simply for being themselves. I am OutCare certified. I've done quite a bit of work with those who are aligned with nature spirituality. You will find acceptance and a listening ear here.

If you care about all that clinical stuff………… My therapy approach, drawing from several theoretical orientations, is client-centered, Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), inner child healing, strength based on the belief that every individual is unique. My experience comes from bachelors degree in criminal justice and working with survivors of violence and finding housing for families. Later getting my master’s in mental health counseling to better serve those who experience trauma, childhood abuse and sexual violence. I believe we all deserve healing and leading a life we are free in.

Do you have thoughts, behaviors, or maladaptive patterns that have become a hinderance in your life? Have they become a barrier to creating and maintaining healthy relationships? Is this interfering with your sense of self, causing growing self-doubt or poor self-esteem? It is likely that these patterns were formed as defense mechanisms, uniquely designed in response to early experiences and environments, but now they no longer fit into the context of your life. Often these patterns are so entrenched in us that we’re not sure where they came from or how to stop them, which may produce feelings of anxiety, depression, fear, or grief.
