I work with a variety of individuals, couples, and families dealing with such problems as anxiety, depression, stress management, and relationship difficulties.

We live in a world notoriously seeking conformity and suppression. How do we begin to unravel these layers to discover our own uniqueness and find the courage to show up? Conditioning and societal expectation often leave us feeling as though we are falling behind like we are supposed to have more figured out by now. Through a lens of compassionate curiosity I seek to help people in taking a deeper look beyond shame and explore preconceived notions about childhood wounds, sexuality, religion, relationships, career, and more. My goal is to empower you to discover and discern your own value system which may differ from your upbringing.

My approach to therapy is psychodynamic, which means I listen and attend to feelings and beliefs about your past experiences - relational, emotional, and cultural - which inform your internal dialogue and interactions with the outside world. The goal is to make connections that support growth and change to create a healthier, more satisfying life.

I treasure a core belief that human beings are inherently compassionate, wise, and whole. Then life happens and we begin to lose access to our inner resourcefulness. Connection, authenticity, and empathy form the foundation of my work. I feel that change and healing occur both experientially and relationally. By utilizing compassion, curiosity, honesty, and humor, I connect and collaborate with clients to build a supportive and non-judgmental container for self-exploration and growth.

Effective counseling is all about connection. We seek to be understood, to be known, and to share life with someone else. Counseling provides a safe place to try out ways of connecting with another person, with ourselves, and with our world without fear of hurting others or our own reputation in the process. The majority of my clients come to me wanting to work on navigating life with differences of gender identity and sexuality; taking time to share in a safe place is vitally important.

Do you struggle with feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, and thoughts about not being good enough? Do you find yourself worrying about your intimate and platonic relationships? Do you often get accused of "overreacting" to a situation? You’re not alone! My approach is warm, interactive, and non-judgmental. Although flexible, I tend to use a combination of EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), Person-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques.

NOT accepting NEW clients! Feeling disconnected from yourself or those closest to you? Not sure why? Are you ready to get more out of life, sex, and relationships? I’m here to help you do just that.

Together, we’ll guide you towards new ways of thinking, feeling, and acting that align with your true self.

Life can get complicated and overwhelming at times. I want to work with you regarding all areas of your life that you are seeking to change. As an LMHCA, I strive to support adolescents, young adults, and their families through their trying life events such as work stress, emotional management, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational crisis. As Nathaniel Branden once said, "The first step toward change is awareness, the second step is acceptance." I look forward to taking these steps with you.

Life can be difficult. At times, we are confronted with painful experiences we would rather avoid. And because we don't deal with the discomfort those situations bring, we keep ourselves stuck - still experiencing and enacting the pain we are trying to avoid. I see psychotherapy as a liberating journey through which we are able to transcend the emotional discomfort painful occurrences bring with them, while learning to relate to our life stories in such a way that they no longer keep us hostage. Through this process, psychological and spiritual growth occurs. Let me walk with you.

Mindy is a second-year Master's student in the Mental Health Counseling program at Indiana University, Bloomington. She is a life-long learner and believes there is always room for growth and new beginnings. She has been a client and fully appreciates how intimidating it can be to take that first step, but she is on this new path in part because of how much she benefited from working with a counselor. She hopes to help others who might be feeling a little stuck, distressed or uncertain. She strives to bring her authentic self, flaws & all, into each session to create a safe space for honest sharing & reflection.

Our thoughts, fears, anxieties, and unfulfilled expectations can be obstacles to living the life we want to have and experience authentically. The therapeutic process supports and assists us in identifying, and better understanding all parts of our authentic selves. I listen and hold space for your individual situation. To hear how you’re feeling and understand the challenges that are impacting you daily. My intention is that we work together to provide a safe and supportive atmosphere where you can explore issues that may be difficult to talk about at sufficient length elsewhere while reaching healthy outcomes.

I believe we are all our own expert; therefore, my job as a therapist is not to advise you on what to do, but to help you come to terms with what you are willing to do. We all have the power to make our lives better, and more often than not, even when we feel lost or stuck, we have some idea of the direction in which we need to travel. Together, we can explore the roadblocks to your living the life you deserve, and strengthen your resolve to achieve your goals.
