LCSW, 28 years of experience
Hi, I'm Christy. I have over 25 years of experience working in the mental health field. I am licensed in Indiana, Ohio, and Florida. Are you dealing with anxiety, depression, aging, self-esteem, or relationship issues? Feeling overwhelmed by the constant news cycle? Struggling with anxiety or frustration due to politics? Let’s talk about strategies to navigate stressors, regain control of your mental health, and have emotional balance. Seeking therapy can be scary, but you are making the first step to a healthier, more positive you. I will provide a safe space for you to heal and grow. I accept Medicare in Indiana, Ohio, and Florida.
In our first session I will gather information and we will discuss the challenges you are experiencing. We will make a plan together to start working on a healthier, more positive you.
I am warm, authentic, and easy to talk to. I'm open minded and non-judgmental.
I enjoy working with adults of all ages. My clients are often feeling anxious or depressed about life changes. My clients are having family conflict and estrangements. My clients are concerned about aging, having purpose in life. Many of my clients are dealing with different kinds of stressors: caregiving, financial, work, relationships, politics and current state of the world.
Reframing and changing thoughts can help improve mood, decrease anxiety, increase self esteem.
Help to accept our thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations, rather than trying to control or avoid them.
Practicing mindfulness can reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, enhance self-compassion, and promote overall wellbeing.
Focusing on solutions can lead to positive change in a relatively short period.
Empower people by helping them recognize and build on their positive traits, skills, and past successes.
