Every person has the tools to lead a fulfilling life, but those tools are at times temporarily inaccessible due to emotional, situational, and cognitive influences. I want to lead you through the process of identifying such influences removing them.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Indiana and a National Certified Counselor (NCC) intensively trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I also use a Trauma Focused approach.
Figure out what you need to be happier and more fulfilled, less weighed down by past events and by current stressors, more successful in relationships and your career, and more resilient and adaptive to life’s inevitable challenges.

We'll start wherever you are and work together to get you to where you want to be, focusing on your own values and goals, not anyone else's. My focus as a therapist is on mental health, not mental illness.
Talk about our childhood, to learn how we developed the patterns we use today. Shift the negative language we direct towards ourselves. Show grace and compassion to ourselves, as we do to others. Master the issues that have taken over our lives.

We often become the biggest barrier to our own success, solely because of the way we think. I encourage my clients to believe in, love and learn themselves again. Therapy work can be very intense, so I use humor and laughter as a tool in therapy.
By sharing your story and being curious, we help you connect the dots between your thoughts, emotions, impulses, behaviors and blind spots. We want to understand what shaped you and the patterns that contributed to how you see yourself.

Therapy is guided by empathy, understanding, and empowerment. I view therapy as encouraging people to view their life as changeable by their situation, in which they can identify realistic steps that promotes positive change and healing.
Together we will explore how your emotions, relationships, past trauma or even addiction and how it affects everyday life. We will practice coping skills like grounding techniques, relaxation, exposure therapy, healthy communication and more.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify any negative thinking patterns and help to challenge those thoughts. We will work to identify healthy coping skills to manage what ever you are faced with.
