LMHC, 8 years of experience
Hi! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana. I received my master's degree from Purdue University, and I have been practicing for 8 years. I work with individuals who feel paralyzed due to past traumatic experiences; those that feel crippled by anxiety; couples who are wanting to strengthen their relationship as well as those individuals who are struggling in their grief.
Our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, and discuss your story and what brings you to therapy. We then look into the specific challenges you're currently facing and what you want to do differently. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. I will then share a little about my therapeutic approach and answer any questions that you might have.
I spend time building a relationship with my client to help them feel a sense of safety and trust in the therapeutic process. Most of my clients have deep wounds that have made it difficult cope in their day-to-day life. I am here to listen and help you find that strength, safety and trust in yourself.
I help individuals with trauma, complex trauma, dissociative disorders, Personality Disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, couples’ issues and life transitions. I work with clients to heal the past so they can become their best self.
I have been trained in EMDR therapy for 5 years and have found that it is very effective for many presentations and works well in conjunction with other therapies.
I am certified in Gottman Couples therapy and use many tools in sessions with couples to help identify the strengths and challenges of each relationship.
I have found that helping clients have an understanding of the polyvagal system helps them to better learn how they can gain control and regulate themselves in various times of distress.

She’s honestly amazing, it took so long to find somebody I felt comfortable with and I found it with her. Could not recommend her enough!!

Hillary never makes me feel bad about the way I'm feeling. She's non-judgmental and relatable. Sessions with her are like talking with a friend, except the friend wants you to be better and reframe the way you see things. She helps me without making me feel "managed". She's taught me to stand up for myself without feeling guilty. I'm a better version of myself now than I was before I started seeing her and that's largely because of the help she's given me.
