What It’s Like to Work With Me

I view therapy as a collaborative process, where clients feel empowered to explore challenges, build on their strengths, and take meaningful steps toward growth. I believe that everyone already has the resources within them to create change, and my role is to help clients uncover and strengthen those tools.

I also integrate physical movement and personal training principles to explore alternative ways of processing emotions, increasing autonomy, and fostering resilience. The mind-body connection is a powerful tool in therapy, and I work with clients to incorporate strategies that improve both mental and physical well-being.

Qualifications & Training

I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling from Indiana University and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana as well as a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I am currently training to become a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) through the National Academy of Sports Medicine, allowing me to bridge the gap between mental and physical health in my therapeutic work.

I integrate a variety of evidence-based approaches, including:

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help process traumatic memories and reduce emotional distress

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge negative thought patterns and develop coping strategies

  • Person-Centered Therapy to foster self-awareness and personal growth

  • Strengths-Based Therapy to build confidence and resilience

  • Family Systems Therapy to improve relationship dynamics and communication

My Philosophy

"Healing and growth happen when we learn to trust ourselves. Therapy is about strengthening that trust, gaining insight, and taking action toward the life you want."
