Children therapists in Indianapolis, Indiana IN

My practice focuses on listening to people's stories of their lives. Through a narrative therapy approach, I and my client re-story problems into unique outcomes that provide a future of hopes and dreams. I trained at Ackerman Institute for Family Therapy in New York and the Dulwich Centre in Australia. Individuals, kids, teens, couples, and families use my service for personal growth and relational satisfaction.  

No matter how difficult a situation we face, it helps to find our internal and external strengths to overcome it. This means that we bring our whole selves to therapy and not just an injured, problem-centered part of ourselves. Emphasizing abilities is not a way of dismissing difficulty or underestimating the challenges of relationships, traumas, and even our unique ways of processing information. It is a way to build hope while also facing our greatest obstacles.  

I specialize in depression, anxiety, relationship issues, sleep issues, stress, infertility, and life coaching. What can you expect out of therapy? 1) Reducing your symptoms: We’ll work together to help you feel better as soon as possible by reducing your symptoms, whether it be feeling anxious or sleep problems. 2) Figuring out the root of your challenges: We’ll explore what caused you to feel this way in the first place so you can anticipate and prevent these challenges in the future. 3) Building your confidence going forward: You will learn and practice new skills that will help you feel confident overcoming future challenges.  

**WE ARE CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** We have therapists who specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults. We have the most expertise and passion in helping clients with: (1) Eating disorders; (2) Behavioral weight loss; (3) Relationship issues / couples counseling; (4) Behavioral health (insomnia/sleep disorders, chronic pain, coping with illness, substance abuse) (5) Anxiety/stress (general, social anxiety, phobias, panic disorder); (6) Depression; and (7) Trauma/PTSD. We carefully tailor evidence-based psychotherapy (EBPs), which are treatments that are based directly on scientific evidence from several large-scale clinical trials.  

I am a compassionate and perceptive listener who in the course of a professional relationship strives to facilitate efficient and satisfying progress toward the personal goals of each client. I attempt to facilitate personal exploration and understanding while encouraging independence and strength.
