I am a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Indiana for almost 8 years. I have specific knowledge and experience working with individuals struggling with behavior and stress management, developmental disorders, anxiety, depression, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and trauma-related disorders.
I believe it is important to meet the client where they currently are to develop a strong therapeutic relationship. I strive to provide a warm and nurturing environment to support and empower my clients. I have experience providing individual, family, and group therapy.
My background is in art therapy, and I often utilize art therapy techniques with my clients; however, it is not a requirement to include art in the sessions if the client is not comfortable. I do believe visual expression can give a voice to the individual that they may not be able to communicate directly. With art therapy, I believe the process of art making is often more important than the final product. The use of art therapy can foster healing within the individual and is an alternative to traditional talk therapy. Aside from utilizing art therapy techniques with clients, I use an integrative approach, primarily utilizing Adlerian, CBT, and DBT, while adapting to the unique needs of the client to help overcome obstacles and to facilitate change.
Taking the first step to improve your overall functioning takes courage. I am here to support and empower you on your journey to healing if you are ready.
