I graduated from Indiana University South Bend's Counseling and Human Services - Mental Health program with my Masters of Science in Education. I have been working with adolescents, their families, and their support systems through various roles over the years and found it to be one of my favorite populations. I also enjoy working with people of any age that may struggle with trauma, attachment, anxiety, depression, life transitions or adjustments, and chronic illness or pain. I am always continuing my education and keeping myself updated on the best ways to provide treatment
My approach to counseling is unique to you, the client. Every person's needs, stories, and personality are different and those factors should be taken into account when building a relationship with a counselor and establishing a treatment plan. You are the expert in your own life and have invited me to sit with you and help hold certain parts. While the work comes from you, it is my pleasure to create a space where you can be yourself and begin to heal. I understand that the healing process can be complicated, so I also encourage collaboration with other providers who serve you.
You will always be treated with respect, positive regard, and intentionally listened to. We will work together to meet your goals, whatever they are!
