I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with over 25 years of experience providing counseling primarily in outpatient mental health and school special education environments. I take a non-threatening and non-judgmental approach to encourage clients to share their personal life story, and then compassionately challenge them to edit their life story to define themselves instead of being defined by past and current grievances.
Initial sessions will involve encouraging clients to share their personal story, openly and honestly because there will be no judgement. Then we will identify the client's needs to be addressed with goal-oriented counseling.
I strongly believe establishing a therapeutic relationship is vital and taking an "unconditional, positive regard" with each and every client is my best strength.
I enjoy a holistic, faith-based approach to helping teens and young adults face fears and challenge undesirable beliefs about themselves and the world.
I provide an eclectic, holistic, and relational approach to therapy emphasizing "unconditional, positive regard" to all clientele.
