About me
Thank you for taking the time and interest in the journey to a better you! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Addictions Counselor (LCAC) in Indiana. I have 22 years of professional work experience in mental health and addictions counseling with 17 years of this being fully licensed. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem, depression/anxiety along with many mental health concerns.
I have experience in many areas not only including therapy for depression and anxiety but so much more. I have worked with families and children including parenting issues, family addictions, relationship problems, foster care, adoption, abandonment, trauma, neglect, abuse (child and adults), victims of domestic violence, mood disorders, psychosis, grief due to loss of family, aging, medical problems, and traumatic/unexpected deaths. I practice several types of pf psychotherapy including Psychoanalysis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Relational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), and Psychodynamic Therapy. We would work towards making short/long term goals and a treatment plan that is best for what you need. There also is always a need for better communication skills, relaxation techniques, mindfulness, meditation, self-care exercises, coping skills, positive thinking and goals that can be set to work towards with whatever is desired.
I have had many personal experiences in my life to add to my experience level in helping people with whatever they need. I meet you where you are and start on the road to a healthier and happier you. Copies skills and empowering yourself is the first steps to taking direction of your life and your journey. I am open to discuss anything you need to help make a treatment plan that suits you on an individual basis. No judgement, unbiased and here to support anyone who could benefit from having someone to talk to when things get rough to planning your future how you want to live it! No matter how big or little your current situation may feel.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
