Schedule through my website to get a free consultation! Are you tired of waking up every morning wondering how you’re going to make it through another day? Do you get so anxious that it makes you physically sick? When you’re at your breaking point, you need someone on your side. As a mental health therapist for over 8 years, I see it as my privilege to take the time to understand what it's like to be you and to do my best to help you feel more in control of your life. I use scientifically supported techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, schema therapy, and solution-focused therapy. My specialities include working with adults who are going through hard life changes, family of origin issues, depression, anxiety, or who are just trying to figure out who they are. I really enjoy getting to know what makes my clients unique as people and then using this to help tackle whatever is sucking the fun out of life. One of the first things we can do in therapy is explore how you view the world and what the ingredients are to the problems bothering you. We'll make a plan together that feels right to you and is at the pace you need it to be. During each session, I want you to feel heard and cared about. My aim as your therapist is to support you in creating a more fulfilling life - a life you want to wake up to.
I’ve spent the better part of the last two decades working as a clinician with a diverse array of clients facing a wide range of issues. Common themes throughout my carreer have been recovery from substance abuse, trauma, existential crises, and managing life when the multiple factors that are out of our control become overwhelming.
If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or weighed down by past experiences, I see you. Maybe you have thoughts like, "Why can't I just let this go?" or "I'm so tired of feeling this way". Perhaps you wonder, "Am I too broken to heal?". Or maybe you feel exhausted from trying to please everyone, feel like you're constantly walking on eggshells, and wondering why it feels like you're never "enough". Whether you're navigating the impacts of childhood trauma, relationship wounds, difficult life transitions, or grief, you're not alone—and you're in the right place. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are. Together, we'll gently uncover the patterns holding you back, process the painful moments that still feel heavy, and build tools to help you feel grounded, confident, and empowered. I utilize trauma-focused therapies like EMDR and CPT, along with strategies from CBT and DBT. If you're ready to take that next step, I encourage you to reach out. I’m here to support you as you work toward finding relief and feeling more in control of your life. We'll create a plan that feels aligned with your unique needs and goals. Call or text 317-316-3181 today to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.
