As a licensed therapist in Indiana, I bring over a decade of compassionate counseling experience to supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding and respecting each client's unique journey, with particular expertise in helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma recovery, and significant life transitions.
I offer a welcoming, faith-affirming therapeutic environment that honors diverse experiences and identities. My practice is committed to creating a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their emotions, develop resilient coping strategies, and move toward healing and personal growth.

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.
