I thoroughly enjoy walking with others through this thing called life. I believe everyone is doing their best with the information they have and therapy is one of the ways to gain perspective and tools to better navigate life’s challenges and transitions. Change and growth can be uncomfortable and overwhelming, so I value meeting my clients where they are, being trauma-informed, and being an emotionally safe space to process thoughts and restore healing. You are the expert on your own life and I want to empower autonomy in your change.
As a new mother myself, I have a newfound passion for working with children and parents, helping to form meaningful connections. I utilize a combination of approaches and modalities to help my clients develop and build upon skills used to manage and cope with trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions including using strength based approach, focusing on unconditional positive regard, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practices.
I graduated from Indiana State University with my Bachelors in secondary English teaching and after some career exploration as a high school teacher and intellectual disabilities professional, went on to get my Masters in Social Work from Indiana University, recently graduating in May 2022 and receiving my license as a Licensed Master Social Worker shortly thereafter in July.
Though I am a new graduate, I have years of both professional and lived experience in the mental health and addiction fields. Areas of speciality include adult men and women with addictions, anger management, and mood/personality challenges. I am dedicated to growing in my practice through extensive training, research, supervision, and self-reflection.
