I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of IN, a National Certified Counselor, and a Certified Integrative Mental Health Provider. I am trained in modalities like Brainspotting, Trauma and Food & Mood connections, Pilates Movement Education, Trauma Research Foundations Traumatic Stress Studies and the Neuroscience & Yoga in the Treatment of Trauma. I enjoy utilizing art therapy and expressive art therapy modalities in sessions when possible and appropriate.

I received my undergrad degree in Communications from the University of Louisville as well as a Master of Science Education degree from Purdue University Northwest. Prior to my counseling endeavors, I earned a certification in Pilates/Movement Education in 2011 and I spent nearly 15 years in corporate America working in digital marketing and newspaper advertising.

My family is my main source of accomplishment. I am a wife of 14 years and a mother to 3 daughters ranging from 10-14. I love dogs and my fur baby Axel is my co-worker and shadow. You will certainly hear him snoozing in my sessions. Advocacy is also a passion for me and I love to promote the voices of the Down syndrome and disability community as well as for all of my clients, friends and fellow community members.

In practice, I focus on meeting the needs of my clients. Modalities and tools used can include various techniques and resources. All sessions are collaborative and integrative with the goal to become a partnership with provider and client so that we can explore what will work best for each situation.

I specialize in helping women and adults find relief, reconnection, and regulation through a holistic, body-based approach to mental health. Whether you're navigating the emotional storm of menopause, living with chronic health anxiety, or carrying the weight of past trauma, you're not alone—and you don't have to heal in isolation.

Our work focuses on the deep connection between the mind and body, using evidence-based and integrative modalities to gently guide you back to a sense of safety, resilience, and wholeness.

I support clients through:

• 🌿 Nervous system regulation and polyvagal-informed therapy

• 🌬️ Breathwork and somatic practices that reconnect you with your body

• 💡 Brainspotting to access and resolve stored trauma

• 🌸 Support for women in perimenopause and menopause, including mood shifts, identity loss, and anxiety

• 🧠 Treatment for health anxiety, generalized anxiety, and stress-related conditions

• 🧘‍♀️ Mindfulness, movement, and trauma-informed education that empowers lifelong healing

Healing is not about fixing what's broken—it's about returning to yourself. We create a safe, compassionate space where your symptoms are honored as messages from a nervous system seeking balance. Together, we'll explore what your body already knows: how to heal.
