As a licensed therapist in Indiana, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on helping clients develop self-compassion, improve communication, and overcome challenges related to anxiety, self-esteem, and life transitions.

I have extensive experience working with young adults, women, and individuals struggling with eating disorders, social anxiety, and workplace stress. My therapeutic style is compassionate and collaborative, focusing on empowering clients to discover their inner strengths and create meaningful personal growth.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I provide a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, heal from past challenges, and develop healthier coping strategies.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
