Great to meet you!

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 11+ years of experience working with teens and adults. I help people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, and major life transitions, with a particular focus on self-worth, healthy boundaries, understanding the patterns that shape our relationships, and finding our way back to ourselves.

A lot of the work I do is about figuring out who you are, what you want, and what healthy connection actually looks like—whether that's in dating, marriage, family, or friendships. Sometimes we lose ourselves trying to keep everyone else happy, and part of the work is finding your way back.

I'm laid-back, honest, and easy to talk to. I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation, not like you're being judged or talked at. We'll have real conversations, find the humor when we can, and make space for both the hard days and the growth. You don't have to have everything figured out before you start therapy. You just have to show up as you are—or wherever you are in the process of figuring out who you are.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, laid-back, honest, and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation where you can be yourself, be honest, and not worry about being judged.

We'll work together to understand what's going on, recognize patterns, and figure out what feels right for you. I'll support you, challenge you when needed, and gently call you out when you're settling, avoiding, or getting in your own way. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, feel more confident in your choices, and find your way back to yourself.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy. You don't need to have the perfect words or know exactly where to start—we'll figure that out together.

I'll ask questions, listen, and get a sense of what you're hoping for. You can expect a relaxed, judgment-free conversation where you can start showing up as you are. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, comfortable, and like you've found a good place to start. And yes, there may be a little humor along the way.
