Introduction

I believe you have the capacity to heal from your past and create the future you envision. Taking a strengths-based, compassionate approach, I work with adults and elders in Indiana to address trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and chronic pain—drawing on your unique history, strengths, and resilience as sources of transformation. My approach integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), somatic therapy, parts work, Jungian experiential approaches, and cognitive behavioral techniques to help you process difficult experiences and reconnect with your body's wisdom. Whether you're navigating life transitions, identity questions, gender-specific concerns, or the intersection of emotional and physical pain, I'm here to support your growth. I offer individual sessions via tele-health (Indiana only) or in-person on the Northside of Indianapolis.
