Hi, I'm Jenae! Ever feel like you're carrying the world on your shoulders, thinking you have to handle everything alone, only to feel suffocated by it all? It's a common struggle, believe me. But here's the scoop: counseling isn't about getting a to-do list or being labeled "weak" for reaching out. It's about finding a cozy spot to unpack what's on your mind and in your heart. It's a sanctuary where you can just be you, no judgments or expectations. So, if you're feeling overwhelmed, know this: seeking help is a brave move towards healing. You're not alone in this journey. I'm here to guide you towards understanding your thoughts, emotions, and actions better. With an authentic, easygoing, and even enjoyable approach, I create a safe, judgment-free zone where you can freely talk about your concerns. Together, we'll develop a roadmap towards a more fulfilling life that aligns with your values and desires. If you're feeling the weight of stress in any area of life – personal, relational, familial, professional – I assist you in understanding the impact emotionally, physically, & mentally. You'll discover how to leverage your brain's capabilities to navigate life more effectively. Let's turn current problems into growth opportunities!

Hello. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and have been providing mental health services full time as a licensed professional in the state of Indiana for the past 6 years. I have enjoyed a variety of experiences over the course of my career serving homeless teenagers and families, caring for individuals with mental and physical disabilities in group homes, facilitating substance abuse groups, working with children, adults, and geriatric patients in the inpatient setting, and engaging in individual mental health counseling. The most impactful education I've received has been from my patients. I strive to meet people where they are, and move at their own pace to meet the goals they have for themselves.
