I am a licensed mental health therapist based in Indianapolis, Indiana. I received my master's degree from Ball State University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and have been working for a non-profit organization for the past few years. I have experience working with a wide-range of issues, including self-esteem, depression, anxiety/stress, grief, coping with chronic illness, and the LGBT+ community. I am fiercely passionate about the people I work with, and am truly invested in making sure that they find ways to live their life in a fulfilling way.
Therapy can be extremely intimidating, especially if you have no prior experience. To me, our time together is a team-effort; you come to me with your problems and together we decide what is important to work through and discuss. It's like we are in a car with you as the driver; you get to decide where is most important for us to go. I may make suggestions along the way, but ultimately you guide us. I am extremely genuine; you won't get the stereotypical therapist that you see in the movies (though I do enjoy wearing cardigans whenever I can). I also tend to use appropriate humor and metaphors to help put you at ease and feel that I am truly someone who wants you to make positive changes for yourself and your life.
To let you know a bit about who I am; I became a counselor to help people be who they are, and to live a fulfilling life in whatever way is best for them. I currently work for a nonprofit organization called Cancer Support Community in Indianapolis. We provide free programs and resources to people affected by a cancer diagnosis. I very much love the work that I do, and am so grateful to be there for people in their time of need, making a positive impact when they most need it. In my personal life, I enjoy playing video games, reading, Sci-Fi (HUGE Star-Wars and Harry Potter fan), and practicing yoga.
As far as my schedule, I do work a full-time job during the week, and will not always be immediately available. I will always respond within 24-hours of your message, unless there is a holiday or another predetermined event. I will be more available via messaging in the evenings and on weekends. I am available for telephone and video messages as well, if you are interested. These appointments will be available on the weekends, but there may be some times during the week as well.
If you have any other specific questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I look forward to working with you!
