If you've been holding everything together for a long time and quietly wondering why something still feels missing — you're in the right place. I work with women ages 13+ and couples who want somewhere honest to land. Not a place to perform, or explain yourself perfectly, or leave the hard parts at the door. One client told me, "This is where the ugly me can come out." She was right. Bring all of you. Unfiltered. I became a therapist because I believe people are worth fighting for. Including the parts of you that you've written off, hidden, or learned to manage instead of heal. The way I work is called Internal Family Systems, or IFS. In plain terms: I'm not here to fix you or tell you what's wrong with you. The anxiety, the people-pleasing, the shutting down, the self-criticism — those aren't flaws. They're parts of you that showed up to protect something tender. We get curious about them instead of fighting them. My faith shapes how I see you: as someone with real worth, real capacity for change, and a story that isn't over. How much it shows up in session is completely up to you. Some clients want faith woven all the way through. Others just want to know their whole self is welcome. Either way, you belong here. I'm licensed in Indiana and Michigan and I see clients virtually. If that gives you pause, here's the truth: it works. No commute, no waiting room, just real conversation.
The first session isn't the deep end. It's the getting-to-know-you. We'll handle the practical things first — paperwork, confidentiality, how this works. It's quick, but it matters. Clarity up front makes everything after it safer. Then I mostly want to hear about you. What's going on right now. What you've already tried. What you're hoping looks different a year from now. I'll ask about your history too, but not like a checklist. You don't have to tell me everything on day one. First sessions can feel vulnerable and I don't take that lightly. Share what you're ready to share. What I hope is that you leave feeling heard, not evaluated. And with enough of a sense of me to know whether you want to come back. Trust takes longer than an hour. That's okay. We'll build it.
I'm not going to hand you coping skills you could've found on Pinterest. And I'm not going to nod along for an hour without going anywhere. My clients come because they want something to actually change. So we go underneath. Most of what brings people to therapy didn't start where they think it did. IFS helps us find the belief driving the behavior — and that's where change sticks. I pay close attention to patterns, especially the relational ones that formed early and now show up everywhere. In your marriage. Your parenting. The way you talk to yourself. Understanding where something started doesn't excuse it. It does make it workable. Two things clients tend to say about me. First, that they finally feel understood — not just heard, but seen. Second, that I'm direct. I'll name a pattern I'm noticing. I'll gently ask about the thing you keep circling. I do that because I respect you too much to let it sit. The goal isn't just feeling better. It's a life you're not white-knuckling your way through. Women who are tired of holding it all together. From the outside, you're doing great — good mom, faithful friend, dependable partner. Inside, you're anxious, exhausted, or carrying something you've never quite had words for. You're ready for real work, and you want someone who'll be honest with you. Teen girls, 13 to 18, sorting out identity, body image, friendships, belonging. A lot of them come because Mom made the call. They stay because the space turns out to be theirs. I'm not there to correct behavior. I'm there to help them understand themselves. Couples who've hit a wall. Communication broke down, distance crept in, or something specific cracked what used to feel solid. You're not ready to quit. You just need help finding the way back to each other. This works best when you're both willing to look at your own patterns, not only each other's. Underneath all of it, the people I work with share something: an innate desire to be known. I help give language to that longing. There are a lot of therapists to scroll through, and it can be overwhelming. I'm proud of you for getting this far. If any of this sounds like what you're looking for, reach out and let's have a conversation about whether I'm the right fit.
My ideal clients are women who are tired of holding everything together — and quietly wondering why it still feels like something is missing. They're often high-functioning on the outside: good mothers, faithful churchgoers, devoted partners. But on the inside, they're anxious, exhausted, or carrying wounds they've never quite been able to name. They come to therapy ready to do the real work, not just vent — and they want a counselor who will meet them honestly, without sugarcoating. I also work with teen girls — typically between the ages of 13 and 18 — who are navigating the complicated terrain of identity, body image, relationships, and belonging. These young women are often brought in by a concerned mom, but they quickly find a space that genuinely belongs to them. My work with teens is collaborative, respectful, and rooted in helping them understand themselves rather than simply changing their behavior. For couples, I see partners who have hit a wall. Communication has broken down, distance has crept in, or a specific wound — an affair, a loss, a season of chronic stress — has fractured what once felt solid. They're not necessarily ready to quit, but they need help finding their way back to each other. I work best with couples who are willing to look honestly at their own patterns, not just their partner's. Across all of these, my clients tend to appreciate that my faith informs how I see people — their worth, their capacity to heal, their need for honest grace — without requiring that they share my beliefs. Whether faith is central to their story or simply somewhere in the background, they're welcome here.

We naturally think in terms of parts because we are made up of parts. There are no bad parts; they just need to be understood.
I am a Christian counselor, however, these are your sessions so faith is integrated as much or as little as you prefer.
Our thought life is the key to most of our inner struggles.
