As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 37 years of experience, I've observed how childhood trauma can develop coping mechanisms that may become dysfunctional and evolve into such things as depression, anxiety, codependency, problematic work relationships, substance use, and even addictive patterns of behavior that serve to dull and impair one's ability to express their needs. As you enter into therapy with me, I believe you will find someone who listens intently, paying attention to not only what you say but also to the underlying emotions and patterns of which you may not be aware .I I will respond with compassion, honesty and at times humor and odd ball references to music, books, sit-coms and movies ( I tend to lean toward fantasy and sci fi, just for the record). I hope to help you find what you have been missing. You bring the flashlight, I will bring the map. I think it will be an awesome journey.

“Shame dies when stories are told in safe places,” writes Ann Voskamp. In my work with clients, I seek to provide that safe place where those stories can begin to be told, healing can begin, and shame can die. I honor my clients’ stories and I value the collaborative relationship so necessary for healing and growth to occur, realizing, in the words of Lysa TerKeurst, that “there is this beautiful thing called imperfect progress – slow steps of progress wrapped in grace.” I believe strongly in the benefits of the therapeutic relationship as a catalyst for change. I work to collaborate with my clients - as individuals - to identify goals, draw upon intrinsic strengths, and journey with them as they do the courageous work of change. For the past 20 plus years, I have had the privilege of really listening to each of my clients’ own unique stories – and learning from them – as they begin healing and making their own steps of progress wrapped in grace. Licensed as a therapist in Indiana, I have a strong preference for Telehealth due to the relational value that both seeing and hearing one another adds to our work together as these stories begin to unfold. Areas Addressed: Stress, anxiety, depression, grief, coping with life change Therapeutic Constructs: I draw upon evidenced based interventions from various therapeutic constructs including CBT, DBT, and client centered therapy.

You may be struggling with anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, low self-esteem, or navigating a major life transition. On the outside, you may appear to be managing, but internally you feel exhausted, uncertain, or disconnected from yourself and what you want. You may be seeking relief, clarity, and a sense of balance, but aren’t sure how to get there on your own. Many clients come to therapy wanting to feel calmer, more confident, and better able to manage daily stressors. You may be looking for support that feels nonjudgmental, grounding, and practical—where you can talk openly, better understand yourself, and develop tools that create meaningful, lasting change. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your goals, helping you build insight, coping skills, and resilience. If you’re considering therapy, I invite you to reach out to see if we may be a good fit.
