Hi there! I am a licensed counselor in both Indiana and Minnesota. I graduated from Purdue University Northwest in 2022 with my Masters in Mental Health Counseling, and have worked in community mental health, substance use recovery, and private practice settings since. I enjoy working with adults through various circumstances, issues, or symptoms, and utilize a mix of CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, and EMDR interventions during sessions.
My goal as a counselor is to assist you in finding what "works" for you. That may be learning new coping skills, it might look like processing events that have or are occurring, or it could be learning how to work on improving relationships. I let you, as the client, identify the goals, and I use that as our "road map" to navigate treatment.
In our first session I strive to learn as much as I can about you in order to understand how symptoms are impacting you, what you may have tried before, and what goals we can set together for our time moving forward. I like to give autonomy to the person in front of me, and ask that you share as much or as little as you are comfortable with in that first session.
