Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Lafayette, IN

Hi, my name is Sara! I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over five years of experience working alongside individuals as they navigate their mental health journeys.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Temple University and my Master of Social Work from Indiana University. With over 10 years of experience, I support individuals in managing anxiety, navigating depression, and healing from past trauma.

My approach blends evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness with a spiritually grounded perspective. While therapy is rooted in clinical skill, I also create space for deeper connection—often integrating spiritual awareness into the work for those who are open to it. I believe healing is not just mental, but also deeply internal and, at times, spiritual.

What empowers people to change? A clear direction and the tools needed to succeed. Thats why my counseling approach focuses on YOU and taking steps toward your own definition of success. With a mixture of existentialism, family systems, and cognitive therapies, we will work to discover what you hope to change in your life and walk through the steps needed to get there. Whether you are struggling with aspects of your relationships, identity, life stressors, grief, trauma, or you just need some general direction, we will focus on what matters to you.

I'm an LCSW practicing in Indiana, Florida, Ohio, Colorado, Alabama, Virginia, and Illinois. I specialize prenatal, childhood, and adolescent trauma, OCD, eating disorders, and ARFID. I currently see clients from age 2y through adulthood. I'm available for telehealth services and offer virtual psychotherapy and play therapy sessions.

I'm a licensed clinical mental health therapist that specializes in healing depression, anxiety, PTSD, disruptive behaviors, childhood trauma and various personality disorders. I have extensive experience with adolescent and family therapy but also work with wide range of age groups.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Indiana and Colorado, and I have been working in mental health since 2014. I have a bachelors degree in Psychology from Indiana University and a masters degree in Social Work from the University of Denver. I was born and raised in southern Indiana but spent 7 years in Colorado where I obtained my masters and provided psychotherapy for children, teens, families and adults. I returned to Evansville in 2023 to be close to family again.

I’m passionate about supporting clients as they navigate life’s challenges. I believe everyone deserves to have someone by their side through both the highs and the lows.

I take a person-centered approach to therapy, meeting you exactly where you are and creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported—especially during vulnerable moments. I show up as my authentic self in sessions so that you can feel comfortable doing the same. My goal is that each time we meet, you leave feeling at least a little lighter—whether that comes from feeling heard, gaining insight, or simply having a space to release what you’ve been carrying.

With over 15 years of experience, I bring both professional knowledge and genuine compassion into my work. I’m known for being kind, approachable, and deeply committed to the therapeutic process.

I’m also a certified yoga instructor and enjoy incorporating mindfulness and grounding techniques into sessions when it feels helpful. I believe in the connection between mind and body and strive to support clients in feeling more balanced, present, and connected to themselves.

It’s truly an honor to walk alongside my clients as they heal, grow, and move forward.

I have over eighteen years of experience working with a diverse population seeking recovery from a great range of issues and needs. Over this time, I've assisted individuals seeking help with serious mental illness, anxiety, trauma, substance use, and stressors relating to housing and/or income stability, legal issues, divorce, grief, and religious trauma.
