I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Indiana with my doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I believe that change is possible if the client is ready. Recognizing that change may be difficult, I am here to support, encourage, gently challenge, and assist my clients in their process on their journey.
My approach
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and feminine counseling that is specific to each client's needs and treatment goals. I utilize various modalities including talk therapy, Mindfulness Meditation, narrative therapy, and CBT techniques to further a client's processing.
My focus
I primarily work with adults focusing on various concerns including anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, career/job challenges, and end-of-life concerns. I also specialize in concerns that are a result of healthcare diagnoses such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and neurocognitive issues.
My communication style
My counseling style is open, nonjudgmental, and interactive, treating all clients with respect, dignity, and compassion.
My journey to mental healthcare
I enjoy helping clients discover their individual path to healing, recovery, discovery, and relief from mental health concerns.
My goals for you
I work collaboratively with my clients to identify the goals they wish to achieve and then discuss a path forward using smaller achievable steps that build toward the identified goals.
My first session with you
In the first session I review the Informed Consent and answer any questions the client may have and include my approach to therapy. I then ask the client to describe what brought them to therapy and what they hope to achieve.
