Grief Therapists in West Lafayette, IN

For thirteen years, I've worked with teenagers (15+) and adults of all ages to address a multitude of concerns: self-esteem, life transitions, grief, anxiety, interpersonal problems, chronic illness, loved ones struggling with addiction, depression, and issues specific to LGBTQ+ folks. I also strive to consider the importance of race, disability, body size, gender identity, sexuality, and many more intersecting, marginalized identities within sessions. I'm committed to counseling that is anti-racist, is queer friendly, and rejects diet culture.

Life can be stressful! When relationships struggle, work feels exhausting, and home life is chaotic, it's easy to break down, give up, or bury how you feel. Questioning your decisions, who you are, what you’re doing with your life can be paralyzing. Our emotions can be so intense and overwhelming that it's like walking on eggshells around our partner, family and friends, coworkers. These experiences can make daily life stressful and lead to more long-term problems if people avoid working through them.

You matter and your story matters. I don't want you to walk through this pain alone. I work with anxiety, relationship concerns, moving from insecure attachment to secure attachment, people-pleasing, setting boundaries, practicing self-care, letting go of perfectionism, healing shame, building confidence, divorce, grief/loss, regulating emotions, improving communication, and building a healthy relationship with yourself and others. If you are struggling, I would love to support you on your journey towards growth and healing.

I am a Life and Wellness coach to help you obtain your unique goals. Whatever you are seeking is possible. Improving your health and mood, having a positive outlook with self-confidence, achieving a successful academic and career path, satisfying relationships, and overcoming difficult obstacles are common aspirations for my coaching. Together we will work for you to make the best decisions to transform your life. My skills are about knowing the right questions to ask and teaching you how to use effective tools and techniques. Coaching has no judgments, defective labels and is 100% confidential. Invest in yourself and enjoy life.

When we work together we’ll discuss your concerns and how it’s impacting your life. We’ll focus on building both insight and skills to help you create the change you’re looking for. While we may discuss difficult topics and have impactful conversations in session, I believe a lot of change happens between the times that we meet. I often give something to do/try/think about in-between sessions. I find that honest feedback from you on those skills or ideas is important, and while that can be easier said than done, I find that the most successful sessions are ones where we are both honest with each other.

The world can be a frightening place, often causing us to have self-doubt and lose our way. I have been in the human services field for over 28 years because it is my belief that everyone can find their way again and sometimes it requires a little help from someone who genuinely cares. I chose this profession because helping others live their best life is what I am most passionate about. I provide a safe, compassionate, relaxed, and non-judgmental space for you to find your way and rediscover hope and purpose in your life.
