Family Therapy in Marion, IN

In the moments, when you feel stuck, unsafe, or overwhelmed; I'm here to help. My goal is to work alongside you as you interact with your own inner strength, self-worth, and capacity for love as you grow toward the best version of yourself. Perhaps trauma, an eating disorder, or depression has made you feel disconnected, lonely, and empty. My work with individuals, families, and found families helps people to reconnect, or connect for the first time, with themselves, with others, and with the world around them as their true, authentic selves.

I enjoy working with individuals of all ages in a setting that allows me to empower others to live more fulfilling lives. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy in a private practice setting in both Howard County and Grant County. I offer later appointments and flexible schedules. I have experience in multiple areas including grief/loss, anxiety disorders, depression, sexual abuse, spirituality, and women's issues. I also have experience working with families/children which include school difficulties, adoption, divorce, and sibling conflicts. I enjoy working with those facing issues surrounding the teen years and early adulthood as well.

I work with clients who feel stuck and overwhelmed by negative experiences (traumas). Trauma often manifests as physical symptoms you don't understand or emotions that shut you down when you least expect it. Maybe you feel numb or can't seem to stop feeling too much. Difficulty with memory and attention are often side affects of a person trying to mange life under great amounts of stress. Feelings of overwhelmed, anxiety, depression, and irritability, anger and even physical pain are our mind's way of saying something is wrong.
