Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Indiana

I am a licensed psychologist since 2017 and have worked in a range of settings consisting of inpatient psychiatric facilities, community mental health, private practice, and nursing and rehabilitation facilities. I have served clients with wide a range of diversities (race, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and socio-economic status).

I have a Master’s of Science Degree in Counseling Psychology with a focus on Children, Adolescents, and Families, from Chatham University in Pittsburgh, PA. I have over 20 years of providing mental health services to children, adolescents, families, and adults in inpatient, outpatient, and virtual (telehealth) settings. My primary areas of treatment focus are anxiety, depression, ADHD, parenting stressors, family conflicts, and recent life changes.

I’m glad you’re here. By considering counseling, you're taking a critical step towards healing and wholeness. Whether you have previously been diagnosed with a mental health condition such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD or are simply struggling with changes in your life and relationships, I’m ready to help you explore what’s going on and take your next steps in the healing process. I specialize in integrating spirituality into counseling, men's issues, relationship problems, and treating trauma, depression, and anxiety disorders. As a Certified Shame-Informed Treatment Specialist (CSTS) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) I have specialty training around trauma and shame.

We all have problems that need specialized help. We call a plumber when the house floods or a mechanic when our cars break down. However, when life pulls the rug out from under us we often keep it to ourselves and “press on.” There’s no time for a “life breakdown.” We reason that we should just know how to handle these life situations (even though we’ve never faced them before). On top of that, we try to conceal our troubles so that no one else sees that we’re struggling. When we finally address this inner turmoil we’re worn out from the original problem AND our unhealthy coping through isolation. It’s time to come out of hiding.

I have been working in mental health for over 20 years in a variety of settings from residential treatment to outpatient therapy in integrated primary care and traditional counseling practices. I am experienced in group, individual, couples, and family therapy. In addition to offering therapy, I am also a graduate counseling professor and clinical supervisor for graduate students and license eligible clinicians. My passions are counseling and educating clients, professionals, and students on the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness and improving mental and emotional wellbeing.

I'm an LCSW practicing in Indiana, Florida, South Carolina, New Mexico, Ohio, Alabama, Idaho, and Illinois. I specialize prenatal, childhood, and adolescent trauma, OCD, and ARFID. I currently see clients from infancy through adulthood. I'm available for telehealth services and offer virtual psychotherapy and play therapy sessions.
