Great to meet you!

Hello, I am a therapist who holds a license in clinical social work (LCSW) in Indiana and Ohio. I received my Masters of Social Work (MSW) degree from Indiana University and my Masters in Clinical Bioethics from Loyola University in Chicago. I have been practicing for 24 years. I enjoy working together with individuals to help them become their best selves.

My approach to therapy

Having worked with individuals with a variety of needs and concerns for the past 24 years, I understand the importance of meeting the client where they are at. My ability to actively listen and provide structured feedback and tools to help you achieve your goals is my greatest strength. I am experienced in helping individuals with a variety of issues ranging from adjustment to changes in their life (career, school, family dynamics, loss) as well as issues with anxiety and depression.

What you can expect from me

In our first therapy session, we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and begin to gain an understanding of the circumstances that brought you to here. We will explore your concerns and set goals for our time together and start exploring the collaborative process of working towards positive change.
