Hi! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana. I received my Masters from Indiana University - Purdue University and have been practicing for 4 years. I have a passion in assisting teens and young adults, as well as adults through difficult times in their lives as well as working through self-harming behaviors to build on more positive coping skills. I also assist individuals in addressing and working through trauma, depression, and anxiety.

I have a special place in my heart for highly sensitive persons, and those seeking to step into their personal power. As a therapist, my intention is to hold safe and comfortable space to help you feel heard and unconditionally accepted. I draw from broad career experience including traditional counseling, trauma-informed yoga, art therapy, hospice and loss of loved ones, addiction recovery, classroom education, and personal empowerment.

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 24 years of experience in providing mental health treatment. I am based in Indiana. I have had the privilege of working with individuals of all ages and backgrounds. My goal is to provide a safe and accepting environment to encourage individuals to be their authentic selves which will lead to long lasting change.

I am a licensed clinical therapist who believes everyone deserves a balanced, happy, and healthy life. I hold the strong belief that everyone deserves to be heard with an open-mind, regardless of background or history. I believe that absolutely everyone deserves help. I operate from a stance of non-judgment and want all of my clients to feel comfortable and safe in therapy. My utmost goal as a therapist is for my clients to feel they have control of their own treatment. I work with my clients to build a better quality of life and to improve overall wellbeing.

Are you looking for your life to be different somehow, but you aren't sure exactly what that would look like, or how to make it happen? I can help you identify your most pressing issues, then help you identify solutions that you believe will work and support you while you start to implement changes. I believe you are the most likely person to be able to identify your best solutions, and perhaps all you need is encouragement and acceptance to get started. I work from a background of existential theory (the idea that our human experiences are shared and we are all looking for meaning, purpose, satisfying relationships, and personal freedom), and I blend cognitive behavioral theory (CBT), motivational interviewing, radical acceptance, and humor into therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a method of learning the connections between our actions, our feelings, our thoughts, and our physical sensations. Motivational interviewing (MI) is a way to encourage positive changes without it feeling overwhelming or scary. I believe every person deserves care, concern, and a safe space to explore their feelings without judgment or fear. I aim to be easy to talk to, an excellent and attentive listener, and always supportive. I sometimes recommend helpful assignments in between therapy sessions to help you practice new skills and learn hidden truths about yourself. I help people who have been codependent on their partner to become freer to make their own decisions and to trust their partner to do the same. I can help you learn specific techniques to lessen the symptoms of your anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC) with experience in working with a variety of issues including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, trauma, child abuse/neglect, ADHD, conduct disorder, behavioral disorders, personality disorders, and adjustment disorders.

I have extensive experience working with families involved with child abuse and neglect and is trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT). I am also certified in Nurturing Parenting and is passionate about helping parents navigate the challenges of parenting and co-parenting. I utilize a Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) approach, but also incorporate additional approaches such as mindfulness, play therapy, expressive arts, and other techniques as applicable to the client's need. I am committed to providing a safe non-judgmental space in which clients feel validated and comfortable. I earned my MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Purdue University Northwest which incorporated expressive arts training as well.

I have served over the years an ethnically and culturally diverse population. I work with all ages in private practice regarding many different concerns anything from: severe mental illness, complex trauma, PTSD, struggling with life changes or direction, family related distress, Parenting and developmental concerns, and couples counseling to name a few. Over the past 10 years I have worked with students (K-12) in a school setting as well, tackling again many different concerns such as: ADHD, Autism, mood disorders, family concerns, bullying, LGBTQ+, depression, anxiety, and more. I practice trauma informed care in everything I do, as my background is in trauma treatment specifically. I am comfortable working with dual-diagnosis or co-occurring disorders. I approach each and every client with dignity and respect. I am easy to talk to always with the goal to create a safe and non-judging environment. I want to meet clients where they are at presently and work at a pace that is comfortable for them towards their desired conclusion or goal(s). I know that trusting a stranger with your biggest struggles is a difficult thing to do.

I work very hard to respect these truths and provide the help that is needed in a very authentic and genuine way.

I know that starting therapy can be scary or overwhelming. You are taking the first step in ensuring you have the resources and tools to help you succeed.

I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Indiana and received my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have been a counselor for 9 years, with 5 years of experience working in community mental health and I also worked at a private practice. I work with individuals who struggle with issues such as anxiety, depression, bipolar, and trauma. I also deal with faith based related issues and spirituality. I collaboratively work with clients to set and achieve their goals. I am passionate to help those who are hurting, those who seek healing, and those who desire to change. I also offer phone sessions if you are not comfortable with video.

I have been working with families and teens in crisis for over 40 years and now though semi-retired I choose to use my skills to reach out through online therapy to support others. I come from a unique perspective that life is one of balance or imbalance. Balance is needed in our physical, emotional and spiritual lives and when out of balance life is just not right, we know it and sense it. Three main areas of imbalance are areas of power, perspective and pain. If you are powerless, your reality is off and can't think with clarity, if filtered through trauma one is left not knowing which area to begin "fixing things" and one feels overwhelmed not knowing how to grow or change. When balance is returned, trauma is on the road to healing, the mind is clear and empowerment comes, life is good and peace returns. I count myself a "theological therapist" or a "therapeutic theologian" as some things have to go deep to the soul level to heal and sometimes we need to realize some of our greatest pain comes from our greatest growth and it comes not from figuring things out at the head level, nor standing up for ourselves in an instant but from doing the deep soul work that leaves one finding joy again and resting in a peace that passes all understanding. I learned much of life and therapy on the front porches of the little town I was raised in and the little church on the corner that helped raise me. Of interest, I live on a mountain in South Carolina with my wife and four dogs. Licensed in Indiana since 1993.

I believe that starting therapy is a healthy and deeply rewarding experience. I strive to create a compassionate atmosphere for my clients while taking a collaborative approach to help clients reach their goals. I have experience working with clients with depressive and anxious symptoms in a hospital setting for many years. I have utilized cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) to great effect with many clients. I’m passionate about letting clients feel understood in a non-judgmental setting and helping them strive to be the best versions of themselves.

Do you often feel overwhelmed with life? Or do you feel that something from your past is keeping you stuck? I can help with anxiety, depression, past trauma, negative self talk, relationship issues and more. I have found great success with walking along side the people I work with to help them move from where they are to where they want to be…wherever that might be! I’m nonjudgmental and accepting of all walks of life- LGBTQIA+ individuals are welcome. I didn’t get into therapy to “fix” people, I use my practice to guide and help find new ways of doing or looking at things. I love being able to track the progress my clients make when they utilize the skills we’ve talked about in session. I use a mix of Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for most cases. For those suffering from PTSD, I use my Certified Clinical Trauma Professional training which includes somatic (body) work along with narrative work, all of which is grounded in the neuroscience of trauma. I have my Perinatal Mental Health Certificate as well, meaning I am aptly trained to help with anyone transitioning into new parenthood. I’m not overly concerned with labels and diagnoses, I’m just here to help you make changes to function and feel better day to day. If you think my approach sounds like it would help you, please reach out and we can schedule our first session to determine if we’ll be a good fit to work together moving forward. I genuinely can’t wait to meet you.
