Waitlist for 5:00 or later appointments. As a Certified Sex Therapist, I help committed couples fix their sexual issues and create connected, happy relationships. My clients may worry about speaking to an outsider about their struggles, but I'm not afraid to tackle the hard things about relationships and intimacy with knowledge, humor, and compassion. A poor sex life can cause arguments, pulling away, and sometimes the end of partnerships. If you're ready to work for the sex life you want and deserve, I'd love to help you achieve it.

After working as a school counselor for over 20 years, I am extremely excited to engage in a partnership with my clients. I plan to facilitate client knowledge that within each and every client exists the potential and ability to make positive changes in their lives. I will help turn the huge task of "progress" into smaller, daily successes to be celebrated on the path to improved mental health.

Do you find yourself playing mind chess to figure out what if situations? Stuck in endless cycles of perfectionistic thinking, rumination, depression, and spiraling thinking? Let’s work together to reduce what if thoughts and the impact they have on your mental health. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, as well as Gottman couples therapy.

I am able to connect with those who are frustrated with their perpetual stress, questioning their pain, and seeking answers. I am drawn to working with adolescents and families who have serious emotional and behavioral problems. My background includes marriage and family therapy as well as counseling chronic mental health issues. I employ a variety of strategies and techniques to provide relief from symptoms as well as explore the root of the problem. I have experience helping with issues such as ADD/ADHD, personality disorders (utilizing DBT), child/adolescent behavioral issues, divorce, social skills, anger management, and grief.

I appreciate someone with an open heart and a willingness to explore their inner self. I value individuals who are ready to engage and connect in meaningful conversations. I know it can be hard to take the first step for help, and look for someone who is committed to their own growth and willing to collaborate in their goals. Trust, honesty, and a desire to change create a supportive connecting environment where healing and transformation can take place.

My practice focuses on teenagers and young adults who struggle with anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, phobias, panic and OCD. Our initial meeting will include a phone consultation where I will work to understand what is bringing you to therapy at this time. I am currently seeing clients both in-person and virtually. My office is conveniently located in downtown Bloomington within walking distance of Indiana University.

Are you feeling stuck in your life? Do you feel mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically exhausted, confused, or disconnected? It's easy to get stuck in our patterns, ways of functioning in life become habitual, and often these patterns become damaging to us- personally and relationally. What's more, it's not always easy to see exactly where we are getting stuck and how to move beyond that place. I offer support, encouragement, and trust as you begin a new journey toward healing and growth.

Trauma impacts us in ways we can’t imagine. It affects human development and rewires our brain. I remember seeing the impact trauma from childhood had for my adult clients. I remember seeing elementary school children and the impact trauma has on their ability to develop healthy relationships. Processing trauma isn’t something you need to do alone. I can still remember meeting with a teen girl and seeing her relief after processing her trauma and expressing how much better she felt. Working through trauma allows my clients to feel relief and feel a decrease in their daily triggers.

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.

Do you wish that your brain came with an owner's manual? Have your compulsive habits made a mess of your health and your relationships? Does a difficult past keep intruding on your present? I am here to help! My clients start counseling because they feel stuck in patterns of harmful behaviors and negative thinking. They can see where they want to go in life, they just can't seem to make the lasting changes that would allow them to get there. Frequently, they describe feeling overwhelmed and hopeless, unsure that things can ever really improve. Let me help you get unstuck!

Life is a journey. However, our journeys often include interruptions as a result of experiences such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, issues resulting from trauma, loss, divorce, relationship issues, parenting issues, and issues with aging, to name a few. These experiences can negatively impact our thoughts, feelings, and behavior and our overall quality of life. It is important to know that your life does not have to remain negatively impacted by what has happened to you.

I understand that life presents us with various challenges, and I am here to offer a safe space for individuals to explore and resolve their issues. My approach is rooted in empathy, conscientiousness, and a genuine curiosity to understand each individual's unique journey.

Life may seem overwhelming, as if you are alone and no one understands you. Maybe you have an issue with someone, but the thought of conflict makes you shut down and avoid the situation. Perhaps you are anxious or consumed with worry or afraid of disappointing others. I have worked with many patients who struggle to stay connected in relationships or effectively communicate with others. You could struggle with anger issues and use anger to defend and protect yourself from being hurt.

The path to healing is a spiritual, physical, and psychological process. Utilizing an integrative approach, my goal for every client is to help them discover healing through an intimate relationship with Christ. Together, I will walk with you as you discover areas in your life; in your thought processes and in your relationships, that require understanding, encouragement, and awareness in order to arrive at true healing.

Do you sometimes feel like your nervous system is failing you? Do you have emotional (or physical) symptoms that you suspect are rooted in some kind of shock, ongoing conflict, or trauma? Do you feel like you are constantly in "fight or flight" mode and wonder if you will ever be able to truly rest? Many of my clients have sought help from MDs, and even alternative health practitioners, only to discover the source of their pain and exhaustion was untreated trauma. But I would love to tell you, there is hope: there is treatment for shock and trauma.
