Female Therapists in Posey County, IN

If you are searching for a therapist, you must be wanting or needing some kind of change. Change, while overwhelming, is a necessary part of life. I really view my work as helping people negotiate changes in life and help them discover how to feel better. My treatment philosophy is simple. I focus on building a trusting and collaborative relationship with you first. Then, with your goals and feedback, I tailor a treatment plan just for you. I work with a wide variety of issues including anxiety, complex PTSD, depression, grief, AD/HD, OCD, LGBTQIA, PTSD, relationship issues, life developmental hurdles, and plain old life stress.

I will work with anyone who is willing to strive for change. My main areas of focus are trauma, dissociation and anxiety. Working for 13 years in a variety of settings gave me experience with a multitude of diagnoses and problems. I recently was trained and will obtain my certification in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) through EMDR Consulting. I have also completed some advanced training on CPTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and structural dissociation utilizing EMDR and IFS (Internal Family Systems).

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 help adults with eating disorders, anxiety/trauma and OCD. If you are struggling with these issues please get ahold of me and we can begin to get you on the path in life you have been wanting but maybe thought not possible. Healing is possible with the right intervention and therapist. Reach out and we can discuss via a phone consult what is individually right for you.

It's easy to feel lost right now and to not know how to navigate life and everything that comes with it. You do not have to have everything figured out because sometimes the best thing you can do is to keep moving forward, but after doing it alone for too long, it becomes harder. Asking for help and starting therapy can be scary. Especially if you have never done it before or had a previous bad experience. My job as a therapist is to help you increase your inner-strength and navigate whatever overwhelming emotions that you are having.

"Just do what you can today." It can be as simple as getting out of bed or brushing your teeth. Your “best” each day is going to look different and that is okay. Reward yourself for the accomplishments you did, no matter how big or small. YOU are the main character to your story and no matter how you narrate it, I would be honored to walk alongside you in achieving your goals!

I provide counseling services to adults 19 years of age and older. Creative and personalized interventions are utilized to target a wide variety of mental health concerns including, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, and OCD, as well as challenges that many of us face which impact functioning in important areas of life, such as Aging in Place Successfully, Grief and Loss, Ineffective Communication Skills, Life Transitions - Life after School (High School or College), Raising Children, Divorce, etc. , Poor Self-Esteem and Body Image.

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.

Most, if not all, of the individuals I serve share similar diagnoses and/or problems, but each of them possess a unique journey that lead them to this point in life and an especially unique story yet to tell. I collaborate with clients using both humanistic and existential approaches empowering them to develop self-awareness and understanding to actualize in a healthy direction while also taking responsibility and exercising choice to live a meaningful life.

Currently accepting NEW clients! I strive to get clients in within two weeks to ensure getting the help you want ASAP. + E-mail is quickest form of communication + Life can be hard and relationships can be complicated. Figuring out how to navigate all of it without losing ourselves, is one of the greatest challenges we will endure. Add trauma, loss, self-esteem issues, relationship conflict, addiction, depression, and our whole world view changes. With 10 years of working in the social work field, my goal is to help you navigate the journey, find and speak your truth, and help you live the life you are happy and at peace with.
