I am licensed in Indiana with 30 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. Many of my clients have struggled with relationships – relationships with children, parents, partners, self, jobs, or the world in which they live. I believe that people have been doing the best they know how even at their most troubled moment. Our job together is to help you find new ways of coping with life’s challenges. I provide a safe, non-judgmental place for you to share your thoughts and feelings. I will respect you for the person you are and honor your values and beliefs. We will work together on the goals you set for treatment, capitalizing on your unique personal strengths.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
