About My Clients
My ideal client is someone whose anxiety or trauma has begun to interfere with daily life—sleep, relationships, school, or work. They may feel overwhelmed or disconnected but are ready to try therapy as a path forward. They want to feel calmer, more confident, and more at ease. They’re open to learning strategies that support healing while also having space to be seen, heard, and valued exactly as they are.
My Background and Approach
I’m a therapist with over 25 years of experience helping people move through anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate, straightforward, and human—I believe therapy should feel supportive but also real. I combine evidence-based practices like CBT, mindfulness, and somatic awareness with a collaborative style that adapts to your unique needs. Clients often tell me they appreciate that I balance warmth with honesty: I’ll listen deeply, but I’ll also help you see patterns and offer tools that make a difference in daily life. Therapy with me is about more than symptom relief—it’s about learning to calm your nervous system, rebuild trust in yourself, and create lasting change. Whether you’re a student, professional, professor, or longtime Bloomington resident, my goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, less alone, and empowered to step into a calmer, more connected life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that our super power is our ability to control what we do, think and feel. We can't control what happens to us but we can control our responses. By understand our brain and body better, we can work with them to get them pointed in the direction we want to go. We will be able to make better choices which means better outcomes. This ability will build confidence and gratitude for the good things in life.
