compassionate, kind, straight forward, "tell it like it is."

I typically offer clients a choice between dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) or Internal Family Systems (IFS). Both of these strategies offer a holistic approach and assist clients in healing inner pain while addressing behavioral concerns.

Identify your goals and work toward reaching these. Often, my goal for you is to help you build a life you don't feel the need to run or hide from.

I particularly love working with people who feel their issues are "too much" or may have even been referred elsewhere by prior therapists. I really enjoy working with people with complex trauma, borderline personality disorder and addictions.

I love watching people find their inner strength. I enjoy walking alongside and encouraging individuals as they work through challenging times.

I offer both in-person (Fort Wayne, IN) and online counseling (IN, OH, KY, IA, SC).

I feel very strongly that my clients have the capacity for their own healing. I am merely a guide, providing space for you to tap into this capacity. I am fascinated by how culture impacts how we see and inter act with our world.
