- LMHC
As a licensed therapist in Indiana with three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients address depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions with compassionate, evidence-based approaches.
I am committed to creating an affirming therapeutic environment that honors each person's unique identity and experience. My approach is deeply respectful, focusing on understanding individual strengths and supporting personal growth. I particularly welcome LGBTQ+ clients and those seeking a progressive, non-religious counseling perspective.
Through collaborative and personalized therapy, I help clients develop meaningful coping strategies, process challenging experiences, and cultivate resilience. My goal is to empower individuals to understand themselves more deeply and create positive, sustainable changes in their lives.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
