I am a Licensed Mental Health therapist in the state of Indiana with over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, sexual maladaptive behaviors, sexual abuse, neglect, OCD, PTSD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced trauma and emotional abuse. My therapy style is warm, safe, and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client centered, strength-based, and motivational interviewing. In addition, I specialize with working with adolescents/youth with sexually maladaptive behaviors and those that have been sexually abused. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you
