LCSW, 10 years of experience
Hi there! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in South Central Indiana, and I've been in the field now for over a decade. I received my Master's Degree in Social Work from Tulane University and specialize in trauma and neurodivergence. I am an Autistic and ADHD person, veteran, and proud LGBTQ+ Community member. When I'm not working, I love spending time with my partner and our animals in nature or with my nose in a good book.
During our first session, we will spend time getting to know each other and what goals you might have for working together. Knowing what your day to day challenges and experiences are will help us determine the right plan of action for helping you feel better.
A particular strength of mine is being able to see the patterns of behavior and environmental stressors that cause us to struggle while working with patients to determine safe and effective treatments for root causes of issues.
As a neurodivergent person myself, I enjoy working with other neurodivergent folx to figure out day to day challenges and how to work best with our brains. Trauma is another specialty of mine and working with individuals to overcome the experiences they've face is a particular privilege.
What surrounds us, shapes us, and I believe in taking a root-cause perspective when approaching trauma. We will work together to examine how what happened to you change your brain and behavior and find practical mind-body approaches for resolving stored trauma.
We are all humans struggling to do our best with the day to day, and that's okay. You're not alone in this, and we can figure it out together.
For healing to be necessary, we must connect brain and body in our work. I utilize both bottom-up and top-down processing and treatment modalities to ensure overall healing for mind, body, and spirit.
