Hello! I’m a licensed mental health counselor in Indiana with over 25 years of experience. I earned my Master's degree from Purdue University. My current focus is on helping adults who are seeking support to manage their mental health symptoms and enhance their overall quality of life. If you’re looking for guidance, I’m here to assist you on your journey. I offer teletherapy appointments with evening and weekend hours available.
In our first session, we will spend a little time getting to know each other and how counseling works. I will gather some information to understand what you feel is weighing you down and what you want to achieve in counseling. Together, we will agree upon a plan for treatment.
I am a genuine, "real" person who is committed to providing an experience where you feel heard, respected and hopeful.
I am dedicated to working with adults on their journey to transform their self-perception and make changes leading to a more fulfilling, content life.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a valuable tool that can assist you in recognizing and transforming unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. By bringing understanding into the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviors, you can be empowered to implement effective coping tools. This results in feeling "better" by improving your mood and quality of life.
Motivational interviewing is a counseling approach that focuses on the individual, helping you navigate feelings of uncertainty when it comes to making changes in your life.
