Gottman Method Therapists in Westfield, IN

Is shame preventing you from fully experiencing life? Do you keep falling into unhealthy relationship patterns? Is life feeling more unmanageable with each passing day? If any of these questions resonate with you, I'm here to offer a safe space where you can speak your truth. I'm an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) trained therapist who specializes in complex trauma. I'm also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP). I'm trained in the Gottman Method (Level 2) and utilize this knowledge to guide my work with couples.

The world is a broken place and my goal is to help clients walk through their brokenness in order to thrive. I cannot take the pain away, but I can walk with you through it and give you tools to take with you on your journey. I have a heart for good marriages and want to encourage you as a team in order to work together and not against each other. Relationships are vital to our community and our health and my desire is to empower you to build long lasting healthy relationships.

I prefer to work with adults and older adolescents struggling with addictions, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and trauma. I have a vast amount of experience working in the field of trauma. Due to my experience working in community mental health, I also work well with those with intense mental health and substance abuse treatment needs. I have worked both inpatient and outpatient experiences, resulting in my flexibility to help stabilize in a crisis and to work with individuals at any level. A client who desires to accept partnership and engage in being open to change is the most ideal client.

You want something to change, but don't know where to start. Maybe it's how you feel: Sometimes your thoughts, feelings, emotions, stories, and sensations try to get in the way of moving toward what's meaningful to you. Maybe it's how your relationship feels: Sometimes the communication patterns between the two of you can erode trust and commitment, leaving your relationship bond damaged or broken. Maybe you're haunted by your past: Like broken glass, many traumatic memories can be fragmented and jagged, stored in your mind and body, emotionally wounding you over and over again, until you're left dejected and exhausted... or alone.

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.

At some point, most of us come to a point in our lives where we feel stuck. You might be at this point right now. You've tried everything you can think of to shift things, but nothing seems to be working. The gap between where you want to be and where you actually are can cause great pain. I help people Get Unstuck, Live Better and Move Forward. I do this through various experiential therapies that utilize EMDR, Creativity and Movement. Check out my welcome video on our website www.yellowkeycollab.com to see if I might be a good fit for you.

I believe that every human is inherently good and worthy. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions, I am here to help you rediscover the goodness inside of you. I work with women and couples to help them get to know the important parts of themselves and how those parts might be making it difficult for them to be their truest selves.

I specialize in adult/individual counseling, marital/couples counseling, adventure therapy, divorce support, trauma, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorders, spiritual development, and men's issues. I work to equip and empower my clients as we journey together towards healing, clarity, and wholeheartedness.

It takes courage and strength to seek out support during difficult times. Life can be stressful, scary and complicated. Our society puts pressure on us to fit into a mold that can leave us feeling overwhelmed and helpless. We all internalize messages from our peers, family, and the media. Healing happens when we invest in the messages that empower us and challenge the ones that reduce us. Practicing this builds feelings of wholeness, peace, and contentment. If you want to heal but have a hard time figuring out where to start, therapy provides a safe space to support you on this journey.

As a therapist, my goal is to provide a safe space for exploring and facilitating change through support and empathic listening so my clients can work through life's challenges with the goal of improving their overall mental and emotional wellbeing. I believe in a collaborative and integrative approach which is tailored to the needs and strengths of the individual, couple, or family.

“Together we will cry and face fear and grief. I will want to take away your pain, but instead I will sit with you and teach you how to feel it.”- Brené Brown We are often met with experiences in life that shape us and create patterns of responding to our environments in both healthy and unhealthy ways. We may feel alone in moments of darkness, confusion or in the presence of the unknown; you are not alone! We will work to trust the process of sitting with the uncomfortable, embracing uniqueness and vulnerabilities and identifying thoughts and feelings that prevent us from seeing our best selves.

I believe times of frustration, stress, and pain can lead to positive growth and that we can flourish in a compassionate, nonjudgemental environment, with gentle challenging from a trusted individual. In the context of the therapeutic environment, one can safely work through vulnerable emotions, fears, and dreams, and it is an honor to be able to facilitate this process. No one is an island; if our relationships aren't going well, it is likely we are not feeling our best. I would like to help you improve how you relate to and view yourself, others, and the world around you, identifying strengths and natural supports.

As a Bilingual (Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy in Indiana, I am passionate about helping clients move towards a greater emotional well-being. I provide a warm environment where clients are able to feel safe to express themselves and tell their story. I have worked with individuals for 10 years and have helped many clients realize that life is all about growth and change, which isn't always easy or comfortable. I have extensive experience helping clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, phase of life transitions, stress (finances, work or home life), grief and loss, family conflict, ADD, etc..

Life can be difficult. A marriage that's just okay. A chronic illness that has stolen the life you thought you would live. A shining star in your sport now succumbing to anxiety and doubt. You don't know who you are anymore and what purpose you have. You want to be able to see the good in life and not dwell on the negative. You want a significant marriage or relationship. You know you have what it takes to be the best in your sport “if only”. You're ready to LIVE and learn how to find purpose in your suffering. You want hope. You want to understand YOU better and in return have more fulfilling relationships.

All of us face painful and challenging experiences at some point in our journey. And sometimes, we need extra support to move through the struggles, to grow, to heal, to learn and unlearn, and to find peace and harmony again. I am passionate about walking alongside you through the ebb and flow of life, as you process pain and trauma, relationship strain, grief and loss, and other hardships that accompany the human experience. A central part of my practice is to provide support and encouragement in these moments while also helping you to move toward greater clarity, calm, and well-being.
