Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker LCSW based in Indiana. I attended the University of New England for my Masters of Social Work. I help adults healing from interpersonal trauma make lasting changes by boosting self-sufficiency, deepening inner wisdom, and building unwavering confidence. Together, we’ll cultivate thought patterns that nurture inner peace and resilience, empowering you to trust yourself, set healthy boundaries, and embrace your true, unapologetic self—no longer seeking validation from others. Let’s make that shift and help you thrive with unshakable confidence!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In your first session with me, you can expect a warm, welcoming environment where we take a holistic approach to your healing. Together, we’ll explore the different aspects of your life—emotional, physical, social, and spiritual—to create a sense of balance and resilience. We’ll begin by identifying your strengths and areas where you may feel disconnected, helping you embrace your authentic self and develop greater self-trust, rather than being defined by past wounds. Throughout our work, I guide you in exploring how emotions, memories, and energy are stored in the body, using powerful tools like brainspotting and breathwork to support emotional regulation and release. I also integrate nature and animal connection as a grounding force to promote emotional healing and stability, along with mindful movement and nervous system awareness to help you feel safer within yourself and the world around you. As we dive into the session, we’ll explore how your past experiences have shaped your beliefs and behaviors, and how they play out in your interactions with others. Together, we’ll uncover unconscious patterns and limiting beliefs that may be influencing your emotional and relational challenges. We’ll examine the roles you’ve learned to play in life, and how the parts of yourself that remain hidden can be brought into greater alignment with your authentic expression. Using reflective listening, body awareness, and clear communication, I will support you in deepening your self-awareness, helping you better understand your emotions and needs. By the end of our session, you’ll leave with a clearer sense of how to align your internal experience with your outward expression, creating a more true and fulfilling connection with yourself and others. My ultimate goal is to help you align with your most authentic self—mentally, emotionally, and physically—while fostering healing and growth.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I believe my greatest strengths as a provider lie in my ability to create a deeply supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can feel safe to explore their most authentic selves. I am skilled at integrating a variety of therapeutic modalities to meet clients where they are. I have a strong ability to hold space for clients as they process deep emotional work. I approach each session with patience and empathy, recognizing that healing takes time and that every client’s journey is unique. My commitment to reflective listening ensures that clients feel truly heard and understood, which can be transformative for self-awareness and growth. Additionally, I am passionate about helping clients uncover and embrace their authentic selves. I use Jungian principles to explore the unconscious patterns, limiting beliefs, and hidden aspects of the self that influence behavior. This allows clients to align more closely with their true desires and values, leading to greater fulfillment in their relationships and lives.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

"Are you ready to go from eager-to-please to self-assured and independent? Imagine shifting from always seeking approval to confidently standing in your own power. In this journey, we’ll work on building self-trust, setting healthy boundaries, and learning to embrace who you are without needing validation from others. It’s about empowering you to honor your own worth, trust your decisions, and fully embrace your unapologetic self. Ready to make that shift?"
