Hi! I am a LCSW in the state of IN and FL with 22 years experience. I work with adolescents and adults who desire to understand, address, and heal from unhealthy patterns and behaviors that prevent them from enjoying life. I also specialize in end of life issues and grief/loss counseling.
In our first session together, we will start with getting to know each other, discuss the parameters of therapy that provide for the most positive and impactful experience for the client, as well as discussing the priorities and goals of therapy.
I am client centered. I respect and honor where clients are on their own unique journey. I bring compassion, understanding, empathy, and a true desire to help clients understand themselves better so they can feel more confident and secure in trusting themselves to make the changes they desire to see.
I love working with adolescents and adults who find themselves struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, parenting challenges, and other life challenges and transitions. I believe that clients are the experts in their lives and my goal is to help them connect on a deeper level with themselves that leads to a healthier and more balanced life.
My approach is client centered with the belief that clients are the experts in their lives. I believe having a compassion focused approach leads to clients feeling accepted and empowered.
I have extensive training in supporting those who are grieving death or life losses. I believe clients need to feel safe and understood for their unique grief journey.
I enjoy teaching and practicing mindfulness to assist clients in feeling a connection to their true selves.
