Therapist

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely heard, supported, and accepted. Whether you are navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, parenting challenges, or simply feeling overwhelmed, my goal is to help you discover your strengths and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, young adults, college students, student athletes, and adults. I have advanced training as a Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH C) clinician through Postpartum Support International and as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I also have specialized training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF CBT).

I enjoy helping children build confidence, emotional regulation skills, and resilience. I also have a passion for supporting individuals during pregnancy and postpartum, helping new and expecting parents navigate the emotional challenges that can accompany this season of life. For young adults and student athletes, I provide support for managing stress, performance pressure, relationships, identity, and life transitions.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Indiana, Florida, and Missouri. I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Ball State University and my Master of Social Work from Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). My professional experience includes working in schools, hospice care, psychiatric hospitals, and private practice, allowing me to support clients across a wide range of life experiences.

No matter what brings you to therapy, I strive to create a welcoming space where you can feel safe, understood, and empowered.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Fort Wayne

Finding postpartum therapists in Fort Wayne starts with looking for care that matches your specific postpartum needs. Postpartum support can include counseling for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity changes, and relationship strain after a new baby. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience in perinatal mental health, postpartum depression counseling, or working with new parents. The PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health care.

In Fort Wayne, a local therapist may be a good fit if you prefer in-person sessions or want care close to home. Virtual appointments can also expand your options, especially when your schedule changes often, infant care affects timing, or physical recovery makes travel harder. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their style, the concerns they work with most often, and what a first session may look like.

Therapy in Fort Wayne can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected payment before you book. Headway helps you search postpartum therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review detailed profiles, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs after your insurance is verified. You can compare therapists, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

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