I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with over a decade of experience supporting individuals navigating complex mental health needs, trauma, and systemic barriers. My clinical practice is grounded in trauma-informed care and draws from evidence-based approaches including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and motivational interviewing. I specialize in working with adults managing anxiety, depression, PTSD, complex trauma, substance use, and co-occurring disorders. I also have extensive experience supporting individuals living with persistent mental illnesses—including psychotic disorders and mood disorders—particularly those involved in the justice system or impacted by high-conflict family systems, generational trauma, or chronic stress. My approach is collaborative, structured, and rooted in respect. I offer a space that is both candid and compassionate—where we can explore patterns, build emotional regulation skills, and create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. I believe meaningful change happens when insight is paired with action, and when clients feel safe enough to be honest—especially about the parts they usually hide. Whether you’re in crisis or simply tired of surviving on autopilot, I’m here to support you in building a more stable, empowered, and authentic life.
