I see each person as valuable in the eyes of God, so I approach therapy with that same value on each person. I use a variety of therapy techniques to show grace, confront hard truths, and build strengths in each person with whom I work. I help you identify connections in your life that may not be so easy to see, and I work with you to help you build up the strengths that you already have. I approach therapy from a holistic point of view, starting with the presenting issue, and moving outward from there. 

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Complex Trauma professional. I received my Bachelor of Liberal Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Illinois at Chicago and my Master of Social Work degree from Indiana University South Bend. I have extensive experience working with those recovering from distressing life experiences, such as trauma, addictions, life transitions, interpersonal and or/relational dysfunction. I am trained in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapy, Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Our therapy sessions are meant to feel safe and supportive, so you can feel comfortable exploring your feelings and experiences. I hope therapy feels as pleasant as sharing a good cup of coffee with a friend, in that we chat, we discuss, we brainstorm together, and you leave each session feeling empowered, hopeful, and secure in who you are and who God created you to be.

I believe everyone experiences seasons in life when they need extra support, encouragement, and practical tools to navigate the challenges they face. My desire is to provide a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you feel seen, heard, and valued. As a Christian counselor, I believe every person is uniquely created in the image of God with inherent dignity, purpose, and the capacity for growth and healing.

I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Huntington University and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) in Indiana. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, and other emotional difficulties. Together, we will identify practical coping strategies, build resilience, and uncover the strengths God has already placed within you.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for support in this season of life, my goal is for you to leave each session feeling encouraged, equipped, and hopeful. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they pursue healing, discover renewed purpose, and experience lasting growth.

I believe true healing addresses both the heart and the mind. My desire is to create a safe, welcoming space where clients feel known, understood, and supported as we explore your story through the lens of God's truth and grace. I believe lasting change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship, built on trust, compassion, and genuine curiosity about each person's unique experiences.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Christian Social Ministries and my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Campbellsville University, where I developed a strong foundation in integrating faith with compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. I integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Structural Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic principles, with biblical truth to help you navigate life's challenges, develop practical tools, and experience healing rooted in your identity in Christ.

It is a privilege to walk alongside individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, life transitions, and emotional stress as you pursue hope, healing, and the freedom found in Christ.
