My style is to listen thoroughly, yet to interact with my clients. I think that your past may offer clues to understanding the current obstacles to happiness, but I do not dwell there. I like to think that a solid relationship between my client and myself is the key to progress.I believe change occurs when people are willing to try new ways of acting with support. My primary focus is to develop a solution-based plan to foster positive progress. Additionally, I am trained in Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT) and use this to help families realize their strengths and accomplish their goals.

We learn by doing, not by talking about doing! My practice is centered around Experiential Therapy which means that I believe in the power of personal experiences to facilitate change. I'm a firm believer that nature and adventure is a catalysts for healing and I integrate adventure-based therapy sessions with individuals and groups. Through immersive, hands-on activities and techniques, I guide clients in uncovering underlying issues, fostering self-awareness, developing healthier coping mechanisms, breaking free from their comfort zones, building resilience, and discovering new perspectives on life.

During times of transition it is hard to keep moving or even hold your ground. There are times you might feel alone or lost. Worries may come and keep you up at night or lead you to places you never thought you could go. If you are facing these moments of uncertainty and hopelessness, know that there is hope. Throughout counseling I cannot promise less heartache, pain, and loss. I can promise to sit with you throughout your journey and together find ways to provide hope for the future.

I transitioned a couple of years ago from Texas to Indiana and have empathy for anyone going through a transitional process. I am still seeing Texas clients virtually; still taking TX BCBS. I am currently taking new clients at my Bloomfield, Indiana, location. I am also certified to see Indiana clients virtually. I grew up northeast of Bloomfield. It has taken several years to get back, but I am excited to be offering my services in my hometown. I believe that coming along beside a person, and walking with them in their journey, is a step of trust. Exploring the situation together can make the journey easier.

Life can be full of stress, stress can bring chaos, and chaos can oftentimes result in traumatic experiences. During those moments, it can be difficult to see what the next step and how to take that next step. All we can do, is take it one day at a time, one step at a time, and live each day the best we can. If you are an adolescent or an adult fighting anxiety, depression, or PTSD, if you want to improve your relationships, or work on other areas of your life, I am here for you. There is always hope, and the fact that you have made it this far means you are still taking those steps. Let me help you keep taking those steps.

You may be struggling with anxiety, relationships, self esteem issues, feeling stressed or overwhelmed. My clients come to therapy because they are experiencing some or all of these challenges and are looking to feel better. Therapy can bring a different perspective to the difficulties you are experiencing and can provide you with the direction and confidence to achieve your goals, live in accordance to your values, and feel better. You are not alone and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. I would like to help.
