Licensed to practice in Indiana and accepts 39 insurances. Specializes in ADHD, Anxiety, Depression and 9 more.
Hello, I am currently a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Indiana. I received my master's degree from Indiana Wesleyan University in 2020. Prior to receiving my master's degree, I was a Licensed Practical Nurse in pediatrics. I have a passion for helping others and assisting them in making positive changes in their lives. I have experience in working with children and adolescents suffering from anxiety, depression, attachment issues, ADHD, ODD, trauma, and conduct disorders. I have experience in a variety of treatment methods such as CBT, DBT, solution focused, strength-based, and play therapy.
During the first session, I will begin by gathering as much information as possible to gain insight into your situation. We will work together to identify goals and develop a treatment plan. I encourage you to bring a list of questions and any concerns that you may have regarding starting therapy. I will be happy to answer any questions that you or your child may have. Therapy can seem scary, especially in the beginning. I will work hard to create an environment where you and your child feel safe and secure.
I am very passionate when it comes to helping others. In order to help others, there has to be an element of trust and a strong rapport. In order for therapy to be effective, there also has to be a strong therapeutic relationship with children as well as their parents. I work with parents to assist them with strengthening their bond with their children. I also assist them with modifying behaviors, discipline problems, and other issues that they may be experiencing.
I specialize in working with children and adolescents ages 6-17. I also work with parents that are struggling with keeping up with their child's emotional needs. Whether I am working individually with a child or partnering with parents to assist with difficult behaviors, my goal is the same. I work with my clients to provide them with the tools that they need to become the best version of themselves.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients challenge irrational thoughts and change their thinking patterns. Clients are taught coping skills and other new skills to learn how to manage their symptoms.
Play Therapy
Play serves as the natural language of children. Therefore, I often use play therapy techniques with the majority of my clients. While I am not a registered play therapist, I have attended a variety of play therapy trainings.
Psychoeducation
I work one on one with parents providing psychoeducation on behavior modification and discipline strategies they can utilize within the home.
