“I am passionate about helping individuals and families feel heard, supported, and understood. My 20 plus years of professional background includes working closely with children, adults, and families in both home and community-based settings, addressing concerns such as behavioral challenges, family conflict, trauma, and life stressors.
I have a special interest in supporting families, strengthening relationships, and helping clients navigate difficult transitions with confidence and clarity.”
My calling as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker allows me to partner with clients in their places of greatest need, with a focus on complex post-traumatic stress. I employ a combination of talk, somatic and non-verbal eye movement based therapies. We will do deep trauma work while still making room for safety, warmth, and even a little playfulness. Because healing doesn’t have to happen in cold, serious rooms. Sometimes it happens barefoot, holding a fidget, with a sloth nearby and someone beside you who truly sees you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Indianapolis
Finding addiction therapists in Indianapolis starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, prescription drug concerns, gambling, or other behavioral patterns. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction-informed care. Some people also work with a psychiatrist or other prescriber as part of their care team, especially when care involves medication management or coordination with addiction outpatient treatment.
Indianapolis has many therapy options, and the volume of choices can make it harder to narrow your search. Start with practical fit: whether you prefer in-person sessions near your neighborhood or virtual appointments, which times work with your schedule, and whether the therapist is accepting new clients. For addiction care, it can also help to read therapist bios for signs of a non-judgmental approach, experience with relapse prevention, and familiarity with recovery frameworks that match what you are looking for.
Therapy in Indianapolis can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway lets you search for therapists who match your needs, review bios, check insurance, see estimated costs before booking, and choose a time directly when you are ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
