As a licensed therapist in Indiana, I bring a decade of dedicated experience supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional journey is rooted in helping clients address challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem issues. I approach therapy with compassion, understanding that each person's healing journey is unique and deeply personal.
My therapeutic style centers on creating a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful strategies for emotional well-being. I believe in empowering individuals to discover their inner strengths and build sustainable paths toward personal growth and healing.
Through evidence-based practices and a trauma-informed lens, I work collaboratively with clients to understand their experiences, validate their emotions, and support them in developing effective coping mechanisms. My commitment is to walk alongside you with genuine empathy, respect, and professional guidance.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
