Hi! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor(LMHC) based in Indiana. I received my Masters from Ball State University and have been practicing for over 40 years. I work to help people clearly identify their personal issues, explore those experiences in life and parts of themselves that contribute to the struggle, but more importantly those aspects that will help them set themselves on a healing path and eventually become the best versions of themselves.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Having worked with people for the past 40 plus years, I've learned to listen to a person's experiences and find the key pathways to person healing and growth that we can define, strategize, and implement.
