About

Have you been experiencing emotions intensely or noticing the absence of emotion? Are there aspects of your life and relationships you’d like to improve? Perhaps you want to understand yourself better, recover from traumatic experiences, or increase your resilience in these challenging times.

My approach to therapy is psychodynamic, person-centered, and integrative. I am also an EMDR-trained therapist. I build trusting relationships with clients and accompany them as they explore and heal parts of themselves that may be hidden or wounded. It is my honor to hold space without judgment for clients to better understand the source of their distress and discover more adaptive ways of living.

I am a licensed mental health counselor (Indiana) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (Ohio) with both a master’s in clinical mental health counseling and an MDiv. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), spiritual direction, and yoga/mindfulness. I am a former hospital and college/university chaplain. I hold membership with the American Counseling Association and the Association for Spiritual, Ethical, and Religious Values in Counseling.

“The most common form of despair is
not being who you are.”

—Søren Kierkegaard

My Practice

I provide psychotherapy for individuals located throughout the state of Indiana and Ohio (telehealth) and in Richmond, IN (in-person). My clinical areas of focus include: anxiety, depression, grief/loss, individuation, spiritual integration, PTSD and trauma recovery, hoarding, coping with chronic illness, and adolescent development.

I am experienced in working with young adults and teens (16+), BIPOC, survivors of sexual trauma, and members of the LGBTQ+ community as well as their families.

How to Get Started

Consultation

It can feel overwhelming to find the right therapist for you. Reach out if you think we might be a good fit. We’ll schedule a free 15-minute phone call so that I can hear what you are seeking help with and answer any questions you have about my practice. If you decide to more forward, we’ll schedule your first appointment and send you a link for completing intake forms online.

First Session

The intake session is 90 minutes so that I have time to listen in depth to what is bringing you into therapy and why now. We’ll explore your current symptoms, background, family relationships, and goals for therapy. You’ll get a better sense of my therapeutic approach and have a chance to ask questions and reflect on the session. If we continue to find that we are a good fit, we will make plans for future sessions.

Ongoing Sessions

Ongoing sessions, held weekly in most cases, are 50 minutes in length. Consistency, especially in the beginning of our work together, creates the momentum needed to make and maintain therapeutic change. Session fees are $120 per hour. Superbills are provided for those able to use FSA, HSA, or out-of-network benefits.
