About me

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Indiana with a Specialty in Marriage and Family Therapy from Indiana State University. I have provided counseling services to a variety of individuals , families, couples and youth for over 25 years. I am also a Licensed Addictions Counselor and have helped individuals receive help from a variety of addictions. I have worked in inpatient psychiatric hospitals for youth and adults as well as, Outpatient and Community Mental Health.

I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, addictions, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

I have specifically worked with individuals who have sought help over the loss of a significant loved one. I have personally lost a son. I know what it is like to experience loss, and yet not only survived the pain of that loss but to find joy and thrive in living after loss. If you have wanted to seek help after a loss of a loved one, a divorce, a job, etc, please don't hesitate to reach out. I know that it takes courage and I look forward to meeting with you.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines but not limited to cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!
