Hello! All persons and abilities are welcomed here! I am so glad you have taken the first steps in bettering your mental health and taking time to prioritize yourself. I know therapy can be scary - but I am here to help you feel safe. I am a master's level, licensed clinical social worker in the state of Indiana. I have eight years of experience as a behavioral clinician specializing in supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities with co-occurring mental health diagnoses and their family unit. Within this experience, I have also helped people overcome trauma and parenting challenges.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will spend time getting to know each other and walking through some of the challenges you are currently facing. Together, we will discuss your expectations for therapy and create a plan for upcoming sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Over my years as a professional, I have created an environment for people I support to be themselves, feel safe, and take action toward mental health. I have an innate ability to see people beyond their diagnosis and meet you with a sense of acknowledgment for your struggles.

Psychoeducation
Psychoeducation therapy combines talk therapy with education. Knowledge is power and I believe when you have a better understanding of what is going on in your mind and body you are better able to overcome the obstacles you are facing.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-Based Therapy assists you in learning how to become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and environment. This type of therapy aims to assist you in changing your automatic responses and be in a more peaceful headspace. During our time together, we will walk on a journey of your life and find peace within to heal from your past.
Strength-Based
You are here because you are a survivor. Strengths-based therapy is used to talk through your experiences and focuses on your resilience and strengths. We all have a story and it is easy to drown in those struggles. Together, we will find your strengths and use them to overcome your biggest obstacles.
Family Therapy
Family life can be complicated. In therapy, we can work to restore some peace and structure to your family unit. Family therapy is utilized to bring back harmony and balance within the family system. It may target issues such as changes in family structure, communication difficulties, or parenting challenges.
