When you are feeling depressed, it feels like you are moving in slow motion, or swimming in a swamp. Without treatment, depression can continue to get worse until you feel like you are being drowned in that swamp. East Chicago counselors know how this feels and they are trained to help you with these feelings

The town of East Chicago was initially a swamp that was not suitable for farming, which was how people made their living back then. With help, the town was able to drain the swamp and make it livable for everyone. Let one of the counselors in East Chicago help you drain the swamp, so you can start getting back on dry land again.

My goal is to provide you with insight, tools, and techniques to help you gain self awareness to help you create lasting change. I believe we can use the difficult people and difficult times in our lives to help us change and grow personally, or we can allow them to keep us stuck where we are.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with the state of Indiana and am also a certified life coach. I have almost 30 years of clinical experience working with all ages and their families in a wide variety of areas within the mental health field. This includes depression, anxiety, stress management, communication skills, abuse recovery, grief and many others. Practice locations have included both inpatient and outpatient settings as well as a private practice. In my work with clients, it is my intention to help you find that balance between needing insight into past experiences and current thinking and behavior patterns that influence those experiences, while also empowering you to move beyond them into a sense of healing and purpose. I also emphasize a continuous connection between mind, body and spirit. Each of these aspects of ourselves influences the other and learning how to nurture each of those parts of ourselves can go a long way toward helping someone feel whole again. As we work together, it is very important to me that a client experiences a sense of safety and acceptance for who they are and where they are in their lives. I am especially dedicated to embracing diversity and inclusion. These concerns are not solely from clinical experience but also from personal experience as a woman with a lifelong disability and extensive experience with adapting to life changes as necessary in order to have a fulfilling life. It is very important to me to come to you from a place of authenticity. I incorporate many therapeutic approaches depending on individual needs. I look forward to working with you and am honored by your trust.

Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed by their emotions, stuck in painful relationship patterns or are unsure of who they are becoming. I work with teens and adults who want a space to better understand themselves, build healthy relationships and grow from trauma. My approach is warm, collaborative and non-judgmental. I often help clients explore the different parts of themselves that hold difficult feelings, past experiences or protective patterns so we can understand them with curiosity rather than criticism. Together, we work at a pace that feels comfortable, focusing on practical insight, emotional regulation and meaningful change. What Sessions with Me Are Like Our sessions are meant to be a supportive and thoughtful space where you don't have to filter or perform. I aim to create an environment where you feel safe being honest about what you're experiencing, even if it is confusing, painful or difficult to put into words. In our work together, we'll slow down and explore what's happening beneath the surface of your thoughts and emotions. Rather than judging or trying to "fix" parts of yourself, we focus on understanding them with curiosity and compassion. This often helps people develop emotional clarity, self-trust and healthier ways of responding to challenges. Some sessions may involve reflecting on patterns in your relationships or past experiences while others may focus on practical tools for managing emotions, communication or stress. My goal is for therapy to feel collaborative, respectful of your pace and genuinely helpful for you to build the life you want to live.
