The core values that drive everything I do
Meeting You Where You Are
Being a midwesterner, I am practical and grounded. My goal is to listen to you with gentle ears, to understand your situation and help you take baby steps to your desired goals.
Collaboration
If you could have made positive changes already, you would have. This is where I come in. We will work together to figure out what you want to change and I will provide specific techniques for you to try.
Creativity
I tailor therapy for each person by employing the tools that will be most helpful to you. I have been trained in many modalities and incorporate joy whenever possible ☀️
Presence
My goal is to give you my undivided attention. You are not alone in the theraputic process. Together, we are a team empowered to make changes in your life.
Authenticity
"Care" is in my name. I bring my genuine self and life experience to our sessions. We have probably experienced similar things in our lives, and that gives me insight into your experience.
Belief in the Therapy Process
I have been a therapist for 25+ years and have worked with many clients who have made lasting, positive changes. Once you are aware of something, we can work on changing it for the better.
Cultural Awareness
I respect your race, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation and gender identity.
Ethics
I follow the guidelines set up by Indiana Professional Licensing Agency and the American Counseling Association.
