I view therapy as a collaborative journey, and I strive to build a strong, genuine connection by deeply understanding who my clients are. For me, that begins by creating a warm, welcoming, and affirming space where you feel truly heard and supported. I take the time to learn about your unique background, values, and cultural identity. I work with individuals ranging from young adulthood into later life.
As a generalist, I am trained to help with a wide variety of concerns, but my main focus is on supporting clients through depression, family of origin concerns, relationship difficulties, trauma, anxiety, meaning and existential questions, and life transitions. My approach is culturally informed and thoughtfully personalized for clients. I draw intentionally from humanistic, interpersonal, and existential traditions, as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, to best meet client needs.
I earned my PhD from Ball State University and completed my internship with Butler University’s Counseling and Consultation Services. I have been actively working with clients since 2015 and entered private practice in 2020. Born and raised in Muncie, I love spending time with my family, traveling, playing music, and getting outdoors whenever I can.
