I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, teens, families, and groups as they navigate big life changes and tough emotions. I’m especially experienced with relationship issues, anxiety, depression, self-harm, grief and loss, spirituality, parenting, stress, and major life transitions.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Temple University and my Master of Social Work from Indiana University. With over 10 years of experience, I support individuals in managing anxiety, navigating depression, and healing from past trauma.
My approach blends evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness with a spiritually grounded perspective. While therapy is rooted in clinical skill, I also create space for deeper connection—often integrating spiritual awareness into the work for those who are open to it. I believe healing is not just mental, but also deeply internal and, at times, spiritual.
The degrees I have acquired are a BS and MS in Education k-12 and Counseling Education. Also a MA and Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology. I have applied these degrees over the past 35 years in Universities as a psychologist, program director and faculty. Also as a psychologist in Correctional Institutions and the Veteran Administration. The later work years has been as a recovery coordinator for "those who are seeking house" and a Community Mental Health therapist. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor across 3 states. Currently my focus in therapy is to assist adults 18- 90+ and couples in reestablishing life back toward the center of their fullest potential. I do not do family therapy.
When you've spent so much time trying to hold everything together, it's easy to lose sight of who you are beneath the anxiety, painful experiences, or expectations placed on you by others. Whether you're navigating trauma, relationship challenges, questions about identity, or simply feeling emotionally exhausted, you deserve a space where you can show up exactly as you are without fear of judgment. Meaningful healing is possible, and you don't have to go through it alone. I partner with clients experiencing anxiety, LGBTQIA+ concerns, women's issues, trauma, and PTSD so they can build confidence, strengthen relationships, reconnect with themselves, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling. I work with adolescents, adults, and children because every person deserves to feel accepted, understood, and empowered.
I am a Psychiatric nurse practitioner who specializes in eating disorders, personality disorders, and chronic suicidal ideation. I enjoy working across the lifespan with individuals of all ages using patient centered care. I have experience helping those who also have physical conditions navigate the complexity of mental health. And as a part of the LGBTQ+ community I do my best to provide compassionate and gender affirming care to others in the community who have not found it. I believe each person is the expert of their own experience.
Having lived experience with mental illness, I went into the profession wanting to give my patients the care the care that took me so long to find. I never want anyone to feel rushed or misunderstood when seeing me. I want my patients to feel free to ask questions and get the answers they need.
I have worked in a variety of settings and have experience treating a wide range of diagnosis from anxiety disorders to psychotic disorders.
I’m a therapist with experience working with adolescents and adults navigating mental health concerns, substance use, trauma, life transitions, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, and other everyday challenges. My clinical approach incorporates evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing, while tailoring treatment to the individual needs and goals of each client.
My approach to therapy is grounded in authenticity, trust, and meeting people where they are. I strive to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients can be honest about what they are experiencing without feeling pressured to have everything figured out. At the same time, I believe therapy should help create meaningful change, and I am comfortable respectfully challenging clients when it can help them recognize patterns, develop new perspectives, and move toward their goals.
My background includes military service prior to becoming a therapist, which has influenced my ability to remain calm during difficult situations and appreciate that people can experience the same circumstances from very different perspectives. I ultimately chose this profession because I value genuine human connection and the opportunity to help people better understand themselves, develop practical skills, and build lives that feel more manageable and meaningful.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience primarily working with families, teenagers, women's issues, medical and behavioral health focused as well as crisis support. I am also a dog lover, a concert goer and enjoy silly-goose humor. I'm here to offer guidance and support from my training and years of experience. I have many years of experience in medical settings (NICU, PICU, child and adult ER) as well as Behavioral Health (SMI and EAP). You are the expert of your life and I want to see you live it to the max.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Evansville
Searching for therapists in Evansville starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. A therapist may help with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists in Evansville, Indiana, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match what you want to address. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or other methods that may fit your goals.
In a smaller city like Evansville, local therapist availability may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Indiana. If in-person care matters to you, consider office location, commute time, and appointment availability. If your schedule is limited, virtual sessions or evening openings may make therapy in Evansville, Indiana easier to fit into your week. Before booking, read each therapist’s profile to understand their communication style, session structure, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Evansville can be a significant cost without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. Headway accepts a wide range of insurance plans nationally, and you can enter your plan details to confirm coverage for your location and benefits. From there, you can compare therapists, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
