I am a licensed mental health counselor in the states of Indiana, Ohio, and Missouri. I want to be a safe place where you feel heard, valued, and supported in whatever you are experiencing in life. 

Do you ever feel stuck, hopeless, and alone? Maybe you have tried everything in your control to get through a challenging time, but feel defeated. Maybe you feel overwhelmed by stresses or changes in your life, and are trying your best to weather through situations outside of your control. Facing life whether you have support or not is difficult and you deserve to not just get through difficult times, but to find freedom, strength, and hope. You deserve to not feel constantly held back or feel that you are carrying a heavy weight on your shoulders.  

Maybe you want to be able to break free and move forward in your life, but don’t know where to start. Reaching out for help can be tough, but it’s the first step in re-igniting hope. No matter what you may be facing, I’m here to help you overcome the challenges ahead. I want to help you lift that weight from your shoulders and find freedom.

TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND EXPERIENCE 

I have received my Bachelor of Arts in Intercultural Studies and Spanish from Mount Vernon University, my Masters of Science in Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Dayton, and a Graduate Certificate in Play Therapy from Capella University. For over 8 years, I have worked with children, teens, and adults, primarily specializing in treating trauma, anxiety, and depression.  I also have specialized training and certification in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is an evidence-based treatment for various mental health concerns. I will often use EMDR in the work I do with clients, especially if the presenting concern is related to trauma and/or anxiety. My counseling approach can be described as an integrated mind-body-spirit approach to counseling that deeply values the therapeutic relationship, trauma-informed and mindful approaches, and evidence-based treatment that takes you into account as a whole person. It is important to me that you feel counseling is helpful and beneficial to you. When we work together, I will listen and collaborate with you so that your experience is individualized and tailor a course of treatment that is best suited for you.
