Therapist

I believe that each person holds inherent wisdom needed to transform pain into healing. Although pain is a natural part of life, it doesn't have to define your future. My belief is that through a trusted relationship, you can access an inner sense of safety needed to heal wounds while honoring your unique journey.

I am deeply committed to supporting individuals on their life journey, fostering an environment for healing, transformation, and empowerment through providing accessible mental health services. I hold training and experience in children/adolescent mental health, and utilize the therapeutic powers of play to meet children where they are.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Wayne

Searching for therapists in Fort Wayne starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may fit your needs. People look for therapy in Fort Wayne for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Fort Wayne offers a mix of local therapy options across areas like Downtown, Northside, and South Side, with virtual sessions adding more choice when office location or scheduling matters. Some people prefer in-person therapy near home or work, while others choose virtual therapy for a schedule that fits their day. As you narrow your search, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that match your availability, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Fort Wayne can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can compare therapists in Fort Wayne, review bios, and book directly when you find someone who matches your needs, schedule, and insurance plan.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
