My Journey as a Therapist

My path to becoming a therapist began with a deep curiosity about how we relate to one another and how our inner worlds shape our lives. I’m continually moved by the resilience and beauty I witness as people grow, heal, and reconnect with themselves and each other.

​

Of course, life also brings pain, disruption, and uncertainty. In those moments, we sometimes need extra support—someone to walk alongside us as we process, learn, unlearn, and move toward peace and wholeness.

My Approach to Therapy

Life’s rhythms remind me of the ocean—gentle and restorative one moment, intense and unpredictable the next. As a therapist, I aim to be a steady presence through those changing tides.

​

I bring encouragement and hope as you navigate pain, trauma, grief, relationship strain, or life transitions. I also celebrate your progress, remind you of your worth, and help you anchor to your strengths and values. I consider it a privilege to hear your story and be part of the next chapter you’re writing.​​

Who Do I Work With?

I work with women, men, and individuals who identify as nonbinary in all phases of life. Many of my clients are high-achieving, introspective individuals who are actively seeking growth and meaningful change. I particularly enjoy working with:

 

  • College students and young adults

  • Mental health professionals

  • Physicians and healthcare providers

  • New moms and dads

  • Engaged couples seeking premarital counseling

  • Couples navigating connection, conflict, and transition​

What Concerns Do I Treat?

​I support clients with a range of challenges, including:

 

  • Stress and burnout

  • Anxiety and obsessive-compulsive tendencies

  • Perinatal mental health

  • Identity confusion and life transitions

  • Depression and mood disorders

  • Body image and self-worth

  • Trauma and post-traumatic stress

  • Infidelity and affair recovery

 

Not every client comes to therapy with a diagnosis. Many simply want to understand themselves more deeply, improve relationships, or make intentional life shifts. Therapy can be a place to pause, reflect, and realign with who you are and who you’re becoming.

​

Although I work well with a broad range of issues, I do not specialize in treating eating disorders, substance use disorders, or personality disorders; I recommend working with a clinician who has specific expertise in those areas.

Telehealth Availability

I’m licensed to provide virtual therapy to clients located in Indiana. This means we can meet online as long as you are physically in the state of Indiana at the time of our session.

My Specialty Areas

Trauma. Helping clients heal from trauma is one of my greatest passions. I’m trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a powerful and evidence-based modality that helps loosen the grip of painful core beliefs and supports the development of new, adaptive narratives. EMDR can be a transformative part of building emotional safety and sustainable healing.

Women. I love supporting women through all seasons of life, especially during the perinatal period. I have advanced training in maternal mental health and work with clients navigating pregnancy, postpartum, loss, identity shifts, and the complexities of motherhood.

Even when it’s beautiful, motherhood can also be overwhelming, disorienting, and different from what you imagined. I offer a space for you to show up fully—with all your grief, joy, fear, and hope—and feel supported and seen.

 

Fathers and Non-Gestational Parents. I also work with fathers and non-gestational parents navigating early parenthood. I’ve completed specialized training in paternal perinatal mental health and understand the invisible weight many dads carry. You might feel overlooked, pressured to appear strong, or unsure where to process the changes this season brings. Therapy is a space to tend to your needs, reflect on your evolving role, and reconnect with joy and presence.

 

Your mental health matters, too—and I’m here to support it.​

Couples. I work with couples in monogamous, poly, open, and LGBTQIA+ relationships, and I offer pre-marital counseling as well. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method to help couples identify stuck patterns, improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional intimacy. Together, we’ll work toward cultivating a relationship that feels secure, connected, and resilient—inside and outside the therapy room.

Summary of Training

I earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Ball State University in 2020. My graduate studies involved deeply examining cultural bias in the media against transgender adults as well as common micro-aggressions toward LGBTQ+ couples in therapy and how to prevent them. I have worked in community mental health for several years, providing counseling to high-need populations and adults ranging in age from 18 to 75-years-old. I have provided interpersonal skills training to a variety of populations, led psychoeducational groups, taught a two-day training on pre-marital counseling, and completed a course on emotionally focused therapy for couples (EFT). In addition, I am trained in EMDR (Eye-Movement, Desensitization, and Reprocessing) to treat trauma and process disturbing or painful events.

Theoretical Orientation

I practice from a person-centered and humanistic theoretical orientation, which emphasizes the importance of a positive client-therapist relationship based on empathy, encouragement, genuineness, and respect. I also incorporate research-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, Gottman's method for couples, and attachment approaches that consider the role of past and current relationships in our wellbeing.
