Female Therapists in Seymour, IN

Welcome! Finding the right therapist can be difficult due to the uniqueness of the relationship. By providing a compassionate, relaxed, and nonjudgemental environment, I hope to make this easier. It is a privilege that people choose to share parts of their lives with me as well as allow me to be part of their journeys of change and growth.

My ideal client is someone who acknowledges a problem exists, even if they don’t quite know what it is. The source of that issue can be discovered and processed through therapy, leaving the client with effective tools and skills to cope with and manage their emotions.

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 clinical practice is devoted to working exclusively with people looking for support with the stress of chronic illness or cancer. Nearly everyone facing chronic illness or cancer can use extra support at times to navigate the challenges. Seeing this to be so, I have been inspired to devote my practice of psychotherapy to providing that support in a compassionate manner to adults throughout Indiana. I have experience and special training to help with illnesses such as cancer, Long COVID, epilepsy, fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, lupus, functional neurological disorder (conversion disorder), and epilepsy (both neurologic and psychogenic).

Have you ever felt like you were one decision away from making lasting change in your life? Have you found yourself reliving or rethinking about a past event and can't seem to move past it? Together using Cognitive Behavioral, Trauma Focused and/or Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) , we can work through the situation and help you create a new path. It is my belief that everyone has strengths to manage life's challenges and regain control. I have training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe changed thoughts will lead to changed behavior.

I enjoy working with anyone age 13 or older with struggles in the area of self-esteem, setting healthy boundaries with others, learning how to be self-respectful in words, thoughts & feelings, stress & managing anxiety as well as anyone who is healing from loss of either a loved one or pet(s). I also enjoy helping people during seasons of transition whether in young adulthood to increase independence or later years to adjust to decrease in independence resulting from illness, injury or the aging process. I especially enjoy working to provide faith-based struggles.

My clients often are aware that something in their current lives is no longer serving them, want to understand how that came to be, and align themselves with the vision they have for their future. This often starts by noticing repeating patterns of behavior in themselves, or those they attract, and becoming curious about the reason why. They may also find that they experience certain physical and emotional responses (anger, anxiety, people pleasing etc.) and know that their body is trying to tell them something needs to shift.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges? As a compassionate therapist with over 10 years of experience, I’m here to provide you with a safe and cozy space to share your story and work towards a more peaceful and fulfilling life. My expertise lies in helping minority and immigrant individuals and families who are dealing with grief and trauma, as well as young women and mothers who are struggling with identity issues, depression and anxiety.

Do you feel stuck or worn down? Do you want to overcome the roadblocks that are standing in your way? Is there something that is holding you back from experiencing authentic joy? Therapy is a great first step. Therapy is an amazing way to gain insight, learn ways to challenge distorted thoughts, learn relaxation techniques, and develop new coping skills.

My passion is working with people as they rebuild after difficult life transitions or traumatic events, including but not limited to medical trauma and serious illness. I have experience working with dialysis, transplant, and cancer patients and their caregivers, and I have assisted many families as they navigate the widespread complications of medical issues, survivorship, and disability. I have also supported individuals as they learn to live with grief and loss.

Thank you for taking the first steps to exploring therapy options for yourself or a family member. Are you struggling with depression just going through the motions of life? Has there been an affair that you just can’t seem to recover from? Are you thinking about divorce? Maybe you need help processing the way you grew up-that now interferes with your relationships. Was there a previous trauma that you can’t seem to stop replaying? Or is your anxiety controlling your life and running the show? Is it hard to stand up for yourself? You know there has got to be a better way, but can’t seem to get out of these non-stop negative cycles.
