New to Grow
I believe that when someone seeks therapy, they are reaching out because they want to move forward, feel less stuck, or find new ways to live well. I hold deep conviction that a meaningful, valued life is possible for anyone—even in the presence of disability, chronic pain or illness, depression, anxiety, trauma, or overwhelming life stress. I see psychotherapy as a collaborative space where we can discover the right pace and rhythm for facing those challenges: sometimes steady and gentle, sometimes more active and focused, always tailored to the person in front of me.
The initial intake session is a chance to gave information about what is bringing you in for care. This is also a opportunity to understand if we are a good match for a treatment relationship. I believe that being authentic, warm, and challenging helps folks feel comfortable in initiating care with myself.
I am a Hoosier native and completed my doctoral education at The University of Indianapolis. I have worked in mental health for 25 years and have been a licensed psychologist for 11 years in Indiana. I hold additional additional certification in trauma-informed care. I use primarily Humanistic and Cognitive Behavioral techniques.
