Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who enjoys working with a variety of ages and challenges. Whether you are working to heal from trauma, experiencing mental health struggles (like depression, anxiety, or PTSD), sorting out relationship issues, exploring yourself, or wanting to make a positive change- I am here to provide support in a safe and non-judgmental environment. Therapy can be helpful in many ways and is highly individualized- there is no "one size fits all" approach; I try to walk alongside you to help you reach your goals and work on what is important to you because you are the expert on you/your family!

Being a human is hard work! In therapy, we can learn, grow, and play with our experiences as a team. Together, we can learn to accept and value both the amazing and difficult things that come with a rich, meaningful life. Sometimes the challenges of life get in the way of our ability to access our individual and collective power to heal. Therapy offers a space to discover the parts of us that have become burdened and lovingly invite them to reconnect with our truest selves.

In life, we all come to stages, at times, where we acknowledge that we need support. If you are frustrated, anxious, sad, confused and/or unsure of where your relationship or life is headed, I can help! Whether you are experiencing health concerns, relationship issues, personal conflicts or any other life transitions, learning to cope can be a game changer and you can gain the skills for better clarity and peace. My service is provided via confidential online therapy only.

I have over 25 years of experience working with at-risk youth (10 years old and up), adults, families and couples. I partner with them to help them overcome significant difficulties and trauma from the past, including sexual, physical and emotional abuse and neglect. I firmly believe that identity (who you are) and behavior (what you do) are two distinct things. Your behavior does not determine your identity. I help my clients to examine core beliefs that are contributing to their current difficulties, to help them to decide which ones are true and helpful, and which ones are not, to bring about true and lasting change.

If you want relief and answers quickly, you need a highly trained expert in the field. As a doctor who has been successfully treating clients for twenty years, as well as, an author for Psychology Today and a national expert who has appeared on major networks and written for national publications, I am a therapist who can help quickly so you can progress to a happy, peaceful, and fulfilling life.

You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning. It's time to heal and feel better. Counseling is like a visit to the spa for your soul. I want to help you refresh and renew yourself as you move through the hustle and bustle of life. I bring over 10 years experience working with individuals, couples, and families. You have the answers, I am just going to help you find them. Take some time for you.

An ideal client is someone who is willing and ready to work toward bettering herself/himself/themselves. The reality is that we all struggle to get to the point to take steps to work on ourself. Most of us are haunted by past experiences, child trauma, personal grief, self doubt, and insecurities. Sometimes, we are also dealing with mental health disorders such as Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Mood Disorders, and/or disruptive behaviors. All these while jiggling every day ups and downs that life throws our way. It is easier to help and support everybody else than feel vulnerable and let all that out.

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.

This is the first step on a journey of self discovery and change for a better tomorrow. Let me take this journey with you by walking beside you, and meeting you right where you are. A journey of a lifetime has countless steps, it is what we do with those steps in this moment that matter. The past is behind us, the future in front of us, and this precious moment all around us. Working together you and I will embrace this moment by engaging in mindfulness, meditation, and by starting with the most important piece-you!

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Is your family in crisis and don't know where to start? You have already done the hard part by reading this profile. Calling a therapist can be dreadful but I am here to tell you it doesn't have to be. My main goal is to help you and your family get to a place of 'peace.'

Hello and welcome! You are taking the first steps to improve your mental health, so let me be the first to say that is amazing! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who strives to meet individuals where they are and walk alongside them in this uncertainty called life. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, boundary setting, communication, and a multitude of other varying concerns. I am passionate about working with individuals who are wanting to improve their lives and learn how to better cope with emotions, deal with daily life, and have a more positive self-view.

Many couples struggle with having differing backgrounds that create issues around communication. I help to create a new frame which fits for their unique relationship. Attraction can come from their compatibility of interpretive systems.

Some of my specialty areas are Anxiety, Depression, Trauma and PTSD, Self-esteem, OCD, Domestic Violence, and Child Emotional Neglect. Are you struggling with self-esteem, self-trust, shame, and guilt, which is why change does not occur? I provide psychoeducation to all clients to help them recognize why change is so difficult and understand how the mind works. An ideal client takes notes and follows through on exercises throughout the week. There are 160 hours in a week, and as a therapist, I only see you 1 hour a week, which means work outside of a therapy session is key to making positive changes in your life.

My ideal client would be someone who is committed to their healing journey and willing to reach their mental health and personal goals. My clients would be ones who may have anxiety, depression, substance use/abuse issues, and crises.

I specialize in helping those with anxiety, depression, & relationship issues. Whether it is a relational, work, school, or family issue, talking about it with someone often aids in clarity and change. I want to help those individuals/families who are struggling to make sense of the chaos, look for understanding insight, and make those changes that will help them to start feeling more hopeful and excited about life again.

As a therapist, I am most excited to see clients motivated to explore their unknown strengths, widen their horizons, increase their abilities to make informed decisions and lead a life of meaning as they define it. Everyone I have worked with brings to therapy a foundation upon which to grow. Regardless of the problem, an enhanced sense of self is possible. Instilling hope of something better in life is one of my greatest motivations, and assisting others in achieving their goals drew me to this profession.

My ideal client would struggle with diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, or mood-related issues. This client would be self-motivated and have identified goals that are being held back or complicated by their mental health issues. The client would be able to identify areas that are strengths and weaknesses for themselves and would be willing to put forth the effort that is growth and change. Also, this client would be open to new and different suggestions for coping strategies or ways of thinking about difficulties they may experience in order to learn and grow.
