Therapists in Muncie, IN

I know that seeking help is not a comfortable space for many. I believe in the resiliency of every individual and appreciate the uniqueness of families. It is humbling to partner with you or someone you love as we address issues that cause distress and play out in different aspects of life. Our shortcomings are many, our strengths enormous, and our weaknesses reveal our humanity, regardless of life experiences, ethnicity, culture, age, religion, or sexual orientation. I am passionate about helping and supporting families and individuals find healing through approaches in my clinical training to help toward wholeness.

We all have parts of ourselves that we like, and we have parts of ourselves that frustrate, confuse, or scare us. I’m interested in the whole of a person - both internally and externally - and desire to create a safe space for all parts of my clients. It is my hope to help you create acceptance and safety for these parts of you as well. Being trained as a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) gives me a holistic, systems-focused approach to clients’ lives. My experience with clients has cultivated a passion for trauma-informed, attachment-based, and person-centered care.

When you have suffered trauma, you learn early on that you can not say "no". As a result, maybe you struggle with people pleasing, saying "yes" to whatever comes up to avoid conflict, and hopefully, demonstrate your value. Maybe you feel like you can't trust yourself, can't trust others, and are destined to live a life of powerlessness and shame. When was the last time you remember having good sleep? The last you felt good enough? Safe? Whole? Or maybe you are concerned about ailing relationships in your life; be they with family, friends, or your partner? Maybe you want to feel closer to others but don't know how? We can help.

I have worked with individual men and women dealing with a wide range of struggles. Some of the struggles that I have helped clients with include depression, anxiety, addiction to multiple different substances, borderline personality disorder and other personality disorders, and co-dependency. I also have a lot of experience working with couples as well. I have helped couples work through and heal from infidelity, addiction to various substances, conflict management, and improving communication skills.

My primary specialties are couples, ADHD-related issues, and men's issues. I work with kids as young as 9 years old to people in their golden years. I work with individuals experiencing attachment injuries/trauma, anxiety, depression, anger management issues, ADHD-related issues in adults and adolescents, and life transitions. I also specialize in working with couples who need help with communication and conflict management skills as well as different kinds of intimacy issues.

Are you struggling in life or a relationship? Perhaps you and your partner just can't stop arguing, or your new child has caused you to feel as though you have lost control of your relationship. Has your marriage been forever redefined by an affair and you're wondering what this means? Are you experiencing anxiety about a decision, unable to move through a transition, and feeling undefined in a world full of definitions? You are not alone. I have committed my life to helping people like you. Let me help reduce conflict, increase communication, and rebuild trust and healing.

Relationships are a tough, but necessary part of our existence; be it with your partner, family, friends, or even co-workers. By focusing on the ‘here and now’ you can strengthen those present relationships. It’s not that the past and future are irrelevant. The past is what has put you in the present and the present is what shapes your future. I offer a safe and supportive environment for you to focus on what has put you into the 'here and now' and how you can better the tomorrow.

Whether you're facing challenges in your personal life, relationships, or career, I am here to provide you with support, guidance, and practical tools to facilitate positive change. Together, we can work towards enhancing your mental and emotional well-being so that you can lead a more fulfilling and meaningful life!

Life can be difficult to deal with. Issues from our past or on-going relationship problems can cause us considerable stress. Issues of shame and guilt can make us to feel depressed and anxious and keep us from living to our fullest potential. If you relate to this, I would like the opportunity to help and empower you and/or your family to overcome these obstacles.

I specialize in working with couples and intimate relationships on communication skills, managing emotions, intimacy, and more. I also work with individuals on a variety of issues like depression, anxiety, minority stress, and self-esteem. I place high priority on the impact that society can have on marginalized groups. Helping people live authentically is central to my therapeutic approach.

We all need to explore our fears, insecurities and those places in your life of which you are not proud. My wish is to provide a safe place to allow my clients to explore those vulnerable places and allow healing. I chose to be a therapist to help clients understand that they are valued, and they can accept themselves, flaws and all. Our collaborative efforts will establish a strong therapeutic relationship focusing on goals to create healing. I am transparent in the active healing research-based approach we will use in sessions. I want to empower clients to increase coping skills as well as engage in healthy relationships.

Relationship TRAUMA? I primarily work with clients who have concerns of past childhood trauma, relationship trauma or religious trauma, which often cause struggles of depression, anxiety, toxic relationships, or relationship struggles, parenting problems, people pleasing, anger management difficulties, career challenges and adjusting to major life changes. I am SOGIE Affirmative and sex positive in my treatment. I am non-judgmental, direct, and empowering in my counseling style. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Like a treasured friend, I'll be your trusted source of support and a treasured confidant. As your therapist, I'll sift through the "tea" to find the barriers that are keeping you and peace at odds with one another! Together we will work through personal dilemmas, past traumas, and flawed thinking patterns. Challenges can feel like mountains, but you and I (with the help of evidenced based practice methods that are proven),will scale them all!

Tim has experience working with adults and adolescents in a variety of mental health needs including anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar, and more. He also enjoys marital and premarital couples counseling and is an EMDR trained therapist. Tim has been involved in various ministry positions for over 20 years, and is comfortable addressing spiritual concerns.

I believe that people often thrive when they prioritize their own individual health and are supported by their community. Challenges arise whenever our community is in chaos, our own health suffers, and the stories we once ascribed to no longer serve us. While these experiences can overwhelm us, make us feel powerless, or lose hope, I want you to know that you are not alone. She understands that being human is hard and relationships can be complicated, painful, and change the how we honor our authentic selves. That’s why I work to help empower clients by creating a space that is safe, open, curious, and built on advocacy.
