I am a licensed clinical social worker and have been working in private practice since 2017. I received a bachelors degree in psychology with a minor in sociology from the University of Southern Indiana. I then received a masters degree in social work from Austin Peay State University, graduating with honors.
I truly love what I do; making a difference in this world one person at a time brings me joy.
I am passionate about working with children, specifically through the use of play therapy techniques. Play is the way children communicate, thereby making it the best way to understand a child. I utilize evidence-based techniques to help children struggling with anxiety, behavioral issues, depression, transitions, trauma, divorce/separation, among others. I assist children and their parents to develop coping skills, improve self-esteem, and create strong caregiver/child bonds. When working with children, I require periodic parent consultation meetings where I provide support and psychoeducation of various skills to promote growth outside of therapy sessions.
Are you ready for change? Let's work together to create a plan, an action plan, of how we can get you to where you want to be. I provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insights into your behavior, and develop strategies for positive change. I specialize in treating anxiety, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, grief, stress, and trauma/PTSD through the use of exposure therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and internal family systems (IFS) informed EMDR.
My role as a therapist is to guide, support, and empower you through your journey of healing and reaching your potential. I would be honored to support you through your journey.
I accept several insurance plans, including: Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna and Evernorth, Optum, Tri-Care, UMR, and UnitedHealthcare.
I have a private pay rate of $120 per session.
I am also able to provide a superbill which can be used for reimbursement if I am out of network with your insurance provider.
Hi, I am so glad you are here! I fully believe that the bravest thing that you can do is to show up for yourself, over and over again. Your story deserves to be heard, and you deserve to be understood. My role as your therapist is to join you on your journey of growth by empowering and also challenging you to become the best and most genuine version of yourself possible.
Creating warm and healing spaces for clients to share their life journey is one of the greatest honors, and not one that I take lightly. I strive to provide a non-judgemental space for clients to ask and process the tough questions, as well as challenge and validate their internal thoughts. I can't wait to work with you! I offer both in person and telehealth options during the week and on week nights.
You might feel overwhelmed, isolated, or powerless. You might feel rushed, out of control, or even empty. But you shouldn't have to feel these things alone. My goal is for our time together to be both healing and helpful. Let's find new ways to alleviate some of the hardships of life and work towards creating positive and healthy change in your mind and body. I work with children, teens, adults, and couples who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral issues, anger, life transitions, and sexual issues. I am a great fit for someone who is seeking a warm, empowering, non-judgmental and comfortable space.
I offer an open and unbiased space to help you and your partner work through old hurts, address present concerns, and begin communicating in effective and efficient ways. By utilizing Narrative and Psychodynamic modalities, I encourage couples to bring their entire self into the room, so that your entire self can be celebrated in your marriage.
Sexual issues can be such an intimate and vulnerable aspect of your life, and they can also be the most isolating and discouraging areas of your life as well. They don't have to be! I work with individuals and couples struggling with sexual issues ranging from sex, sexual dysfunction, and gender issues. The most vulnerable parts of you are also allowed to be your most celebrated and empowering parts. Let's talk more!
