Hi! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Indiana. I received my Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University and my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from University of Central Florida. I have been practicing for five years and have had experience with clients from all age groups. My specialty areas are LGBTQ+, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Women's Issues. I use a Feminist Theory perspective to help my clients be the best versions of themselves.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I am highly skilled in building relationships with my clients to that they feel comfortable sharing their struggles with me. I also prioritize in meeting my clients where they are at and tailoring treatment to their specific needs.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy makes space for what we can change and what we can accept to exist at the same time. I am certified in this modality and I have been using it for the last five years of my practice.
I have been EMDR trained since October 2022 and I am working towards certification. EMDR is incredibly helpful for processing trauma in a healthy and creative way.
