About

Life contains many challenges: sometimes navigating them alone feels overwhelming. Challenges may involve anxiety or depression, making it hard to move forward. There may also be past trauma which keeps knocking at the door interfering with every aspect of life. Stress at work and other frustrations with your life can make deciding where to go next a challenge. You may have a specific goal you want to achieve and need help choosing the best way to reach it. Receiving objective advice is not always easy, especially from family and friends, and deciding alone seems impossible. For over 30 years, I’ve provided safe, compassionate, affirming care to individuals. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy) and IFS (Internal Family Systems) help you explore your identity, accept yourself, and build resilience so you can heal and grow in a world that’s not always friendly. You deserve to be seen, heard, and valued for who you are. In therapy, we’ll address all aspects of your well-being – mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual – empowering you to live authentically and confidently. Let’s create a life worth celebrating… together. It’s easy to get started. Just give me a call, and I’ll offer you a free consultation. Credentials & Experience: I have over 25 years of experiencehelping adults and teens.I am licensed in both Ind and Ky and I have additional training in Trauma Therapy.

"I meet you where you are. CBT often to begin so I get an understanding of your story. Then I use a combination of IFS; EFT and mindfulness as needed."
