Most of us want to live life more fully and connected, but more often than not, stress, loss, disappointment, and unexpected transitions disconnect us from the life we want. I am passionate about helping clients find the tools to repair relationships, navigate difficult times, and find their way back to a place of comfort and satisfaction. As an affirming, open-minded, and curious therapist, I see each person as unique. I work with clients to discover their own individual path to the change and growth they desire. I work with individuals, couples, and families.

I use several techniques including cognitive behavioral strategies, biofeedback, DBT, and interpersonal therapy to best meet your needs. I am a member of PSYPACT, serving 39 states.

Progress is a professional passion of mine. I listen to you and help you discover your own solutions that will feel right to you. Practicing for almost 20 years, I use little 'therapy-speak,' but rather use my experience and training to have conversational style psychotherapy sessions in which we work to move forward in the direction you need to go. I bring a holistic approach to both individual & couples therapy where I draw on Cognitive Behavioral, Gestalt & Jungian, Trauma-focused, and Addictions therapies to create a safe space for growth.

I have been practicing therapy in Indiana for over 15 years, working with children, teens and adults to facilitate a healthier life. I work with clients ages 7+ to treat mood disorders, trauma, body image and more. Using a CBT approach, I facilitate individual and family therapy to develop healthy patterns and create lasting change. As an avid runner, I advocate that physical health is instrumental in the improvement of an individual's emotional/mental health. Research suggests that exercise can have a significant and positive impact on depression, anxiety, eating disorders, cognitive functioning and more.

Do you struggle with panic attacks, insomnia, or worry? Do you have difficulty standing up for yourself and saying no? Perhaps you are stuck in the cycle of perfectionism, where no matter what you do, it never feels like you are good enough? If these questions feel familiar to you, I am so glad you reached out for help. I work with people struggling with anxiety... high achievers who find themselves at a crossroads, where their perfectionism is no longer working for them, but against them. I love helping people find their self-worth from within, and find the skills to set healthy boundaries and live the life they want to live.

I realize choosing a therapist can seem overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be an anxiety inducing experience. One of the most important things to consider when choosing a therapist is the therapeutic relationship. That may seem obvious, but research shows that the relationship is just as important, if not more important, than the techniques used. That's why finding someone you click with is significant in your journey. I treat the relationship with care, building trust, respect, and understanding, but I will also challenge you in sessions because life isn't always easy so therapy won't always feel easy either.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
