Find a therapist in Merrillville, IN — covered by insurance

I'm glad you're here! I want to be able to work with you to help you move forward, through the challenges. I enjoy working with individuals through difficult life circumstances, and helping to instill hope. I specialize in grief and loss, depression, trauma, and anxiety. I provide talk therapy and can include art therapy in sessions if requested, to help process thoughts and emotions non-verbally. Art can provide further insight into expression that words cannot do alone. I work with teens and adults in the office and/or via telehealth.

Hello and congratulations for taking the first and sometimes hardest step of looking for a therapist. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of IN, KY LA, MO, NV, TX, WA and WV. I have the great privilege of working with adolescents and adults seeking assistance in improving their overall mental health and associated challenges. I’ve been in the behavioral health arena for over 40 years and have held numerous direct care and clinical leadership roles in a variety of settings. My joy comes from helping people navigate life's challenges.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe that prioritizing mental health is an integral part of quality of life. Congratulations on taking the first step towards self improvement! I have been practicing for 20 years with a focus on individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, and difficulty with life transitions. I am also passionate about working with couples who are experiencing disconnection, conflict, and communication issues.

I am passionate about coming alongside you to help reach your goals! I am honored to be a part of each client’s process for healing and change, and value addressing whatever needs and goals are specific to you.

I have been working as a mental health counselor for over ten years, and my favorite part of the job is seeing the resilience and transformation process with each of my clients. I have experience working with individuals of all ages, families, and couples with a variety of concerns including anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship concerns, and trauma.

I am an LMHC that specializes in treating trauma and I'm passionate about working with my clients to find the healing that they have been wanting. I also value being a therapist that is a BIPOC individual, and welcome my clients to bring their cultural concerns and racial trauma to work through in sessions.

Great to meet you. If you have been carrying more than most people realize, therapy can be a place to finally feel seen, supported, and understood. You may be navigating PTSD that still impacts your daily life, anxiety that fills every quiet moment, mood shifts that feel difficult to predict, anger that rises before you can stop it, depression, panic, grief, relationship stress, family issues, ADHD, OCD, substance use concerns, or the emotional toll of a chronic health condition. I work with adults, children, and seniors who want more than someone simply listening from a distance. My goal is to walk beside you with honesty, skill, practical tools, and a therapeutic relationship built on transparency and trust. Whether you are working through trauma, identity concerns, cultural stressors, women’s issues, LGBTQIA+ experiences, transgender issues, or major life stress, you deserve support that meets you where you are and helps you move forward.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider, I believe mental health is an essential part of overall wellbeing. Reaching out for help can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve always been the one others rely on for strength or have learned to “stay strong” while using coping strategies that no longer serve you. I commend you for taking the first step.

I have over six years of experience in behavioral health across diverse clinical settings, and I focus on working with adults navigating life transitions, ADHD, attachment and family challenges, and the lingering effects of childhood experiences. My approach is warm, collaborative, and person centered, helping clients gain clarity, improve emotional balance, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.
