Anxiety Therapists in Warsaw, IN

Life as a human can be an extremely challenging experience. Have you ever felt like you were made for something greater? You are a person, and as a person your life truly matters. I believe that we were created for something so much greater, and one of our great longings is to experience some of that greatness here on earth. Our experiences in life help to shape the way we view the world, and when bad things happen to us that can harm the way we see. I would love to walk alongside you to regain what seems lost. It is my hope to help all of my clients to optimize the person they were created to be! I look forward to meeting you!

When you're ready to grow and create positive change in your life, I can help you find your way to create that change.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Mindfulness to help you create realistically achievable goals that are specific to your needs. I have worked in rural, suburban, and urban settings with people from all walks of life.

With sensitivity and compassion, I will work with you to help you identify your strengths and achieve your goals.

I believe the client is the expert. You know your self better than anyone. You know how you feel when life happens, you know what frustrates you and what makes you angry. You know what is upsetting and what makes you sad, and you know when something isn't right or that something is off. The problem is that sometimes you don't know why, and if you don't know why, you can't fix it. I take an approach that starts with uncovering what you believe, because so much of what you believe becomes reality whether it's through our behavior or through some kind of a self fulfilling prophecy.

Anxiety can be a controlling force that keeps us from living the lives we want. I work with adults struggling with anxiety; which can look like excessive worry, self-critical thoughts, or struggling with life change. I help people acknowledge and process anxiety in a safe space at their own pace. My passion is to help people become unglued from anxiety so that they can live meaningful lives; lives that are inspired by their values and the people they care about.

Those who seek therapy services are understandably looking for some type of change, whether it is to work towards a goal, reduce suffering, or develop new perspectives to move them forward on life’s journey. I work collaboratively with individuals to address their specific needs in a supportive and therapeutic manner, backed by tested treatment approaches.

We all have parts of ourselves that we like, and we have parts of ourselves that frustrate, confuse, or scare us. I’m interested in the whole of a person - both internally and externally - and desire to create a safe space for all parts of my clients. It is my hope to help you create acceptance and safety for these parts of you as well. Being trained as a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) gives me a holistic, systems-focused approach to clients’ lives. My experience with clients has cultivated a passion for trauma-informed, attachment-based, and person-centered care.

I am a compassionate professional with dual certification as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist & Board Certified Behavior Analyst both in the states of California & Indiana.

Everyone has a need to be seen, heard, and connected. Sometimes, we struggle to communicate our needs. Other times, it can feel like even when we do communicate, our needs are not being heard and continue to go unmet. All of us have a need for connection and community. Learning to navigate healthy communication and connection is what counseling is all about. Let me come alongside you and help you engage in meaningful conversations that help you feel seen, heard, and connected with those you love. Together, we can help you identify ways to become the best version of yourself and to live your best life.

For almost 20 years I’ve come alongside individuals, couples, and families struggling with a variety of concerns.

Together we will work towards rebuilding the way your mind and body responds to your experiences in life and will equip you with the right tools so you feel confident to pursue your goals towards healing.

If you are ready for some positive changes in your life for optimal wellness, let's work together! I am goal-oriented and solution-focused. I want to develop a strategy with you to get to the root of the concern, not simply surface-level change.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with families, couples and individuals. I have experience working in day treatment settings, in-home as well as residential settings. I believe in treating the individual, not the masses. That meaning, I believe each client's experience is unique and what works for one does not work for all.

I know therapy can sometimes be intimidating, and I strive to create a calm, inviting environment that allows clients to process freely and openly. I am very passionate and intentional about creating a safe environment and providing people space to be themselves and share without fear or judgment. I welcome clients of all ages with different stories! I'm excited to walk alongside you!

Does my child have autism? Does my child have a learning disability? Maybe you are a parent who is frustrated or overwhelmed with how to approach learning or emotional/behavioral issues with your child.
