Accepting Clients

I have several years of experience helping various people find healing.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Ladoga, IN

About My Clients

My clients have usually never attended therapy and don't know what to expect or have been disappointed with past counseling services due to a lack of improvement. Most clients report that I am easy to talk to and leave each session confident that we have accomplished something. I serve children, teens and adults with varying issues of depression, anxiety, anger, past trauma, or sexual behavior issues.

My Background and Approach

I take a client-centered approach to therapy, grounded in the belief that each person is the expert of their own experience. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore their goals, challenges, and values at their own pace. I collaborate with clients to identify what they want to work on and tailor the therapeutic process to meet their unique needs. Depending on the client's goals and presenting concerns, I draw from several evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) for healing from trauma, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help reprocess and reduce the impact of traumatic memories. By integrating these approaches, I aim to support clients in building insight and resilience.
