My Approach
Therapy with me is equal parts compassion, real talk, and practical tools you can actually use in your day-to-day life. This isn’t a space where you just vent and leave feeling temporarily better. This is where we slow things down, get honest about what’s actually going on, and start creating meaningful change. In our work together, we focus on: • Untangling the thought patterns that keep you stuck • Processing past experiences that still show up in your present • Building boundaries that actually stick—without guilt • Learning how to regulate your emotions instead of being overwhelmed by them • Strengthening your sense of self so you feel more grounded and confident Because understanding yourself is important—but applying that understanding is what changes your life. Affirming & Inclusive Care Feeling safe in therapy matters. I provide an affirming, nonjudgmental space for individuals in the LGBTQ+, kink, and ENM communities. You don’t have to explain or justify your identity, your relationships, or your lifestyle here. You will be seen, respected, and supported—exactly as you are.
I’m not a therapist who just sits back and nods.
If that’s what you’re looking for, I’m probably not your person—and that’s okay.
But if you’re ready to understand yourself on a deeper level, shift the patterns that keep repeating, and learn tools you can actually use in your daily life you’re in the right place.
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing virtual therapy for adults across Indiana, with over 10 years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, and relationship challenges.
Most of my clients are used to being the strong one.
The dependable one.
The high achiever.
The one who keeps it together—even when it’s costing them.
On the outside, they’re functioning.
On the inside, they’re overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted.
That’s where our work begins.
I specialize in working with deep feelers, people-pleasers, and those carrying unresolved experiences that continue to haunt them.
In our work together, I won’t just validate what you’re going through—I’ll help you connect the dots, challenge what’s not working, and support you in creating real, lasting change.
Reaching out for help isn’t easy.
Maybe therapy hasn’t clicked before.
Maybe you’ve been telling yourself “it’s not that bad.”
Or maybe you’ve been holding everything in for so long, you don’t know where to start.
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just have to be willing to reach out. Lets get started.
I can help with...
Anxiety
Anxiety is your brain hitting the panic button for situations that don’t actually require sirens. It shows up as overthinking, tension, poor sleep, irritability, avoidance, and being exhausted from fighting imaginary fires all day. Therapy can help you turn the panic button down and understand your anxiety. You’ll learn practical tools to calm your nervous system, set boundaries, and stop letting anxiety run the show.
Depression
Depression isn’t just sadness—it’s feeling numb, low energy, unmotivated, disconnected, and exhausted by even the smallest tasks. It can look like low energy, sleep changes and loss of interest in things you once enjoyed. Therapy helps you unpack the weight you’ve been carrying and stop beating yourself up for struggling. With support and practical tools, you can slowly rebuild energy, clarity, and a sense of purpose again.
Relationship Issues
Relationship issues often show up as the same arguments on repeat, feeling misunderstood or emotionally alone—even when you’re not single. It can look like poor communication, resentment, boundary confusion, or constantly questioning whether you’re asking for too much. Therapy helps you understand your patterns, communicate your needs clearly, and set boundaries without guilt. It gives you tools to break the cycle of frustration.
Stress Management
Poor stress management shows up as feeling constantly overwhelmed, frazzled, and on edge, like life is one big to-do list you can’t catch up on. It often comes with irritability, tension, trouble sleeping, and leaning on quick fixes that never actually help. Therapy can help you learn to hit pause, sort out what’s truly urgent versus what’s noise, and build healthier ways to cope. You’ll learn tools to manage overwhelm, set boundaries, and finally stop letting stress run your life.
Self-Care
Struggling with self-care looks like running on empty, saying yes when you really mean no, and ignoring your own needs until you crash. It shows up as burnout, irritability, and feeling like life is constantly taking more than you can give. Therapy helps you uncover why your needs keep getting ignored and teaches you how to actually prioritize yourself without guilt. You’ll build routines, boundaries, and habits that make self-care feel doable, not optional.
Trauma Recovery
Trauma recovery means untangling the impact of past wounds so they stop running your present. It can show up as anxiety, emotional triggers, difficulty trusting, flashbacks, or feeling stuck in fear and shame. Therapy helps you process painful experiences safely, build coping skills, and reclaim a sense of safety and control. It guides you in transforming triggers and pain into understanding, resilience, and self-compassion.
