Therapist

Virtual • Indianapolis, IN


Looking for a therapist can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. I provide virtual therapy for adults throughout Florida, Ohio, and Indiana, offering a warm, supportive, and collaborative space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, OCD, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship challenges, trauma, eating disorders, chronic pain, infertility or IVF, and major life transitions. Together, we’ll better understand what’s keeping you stuck, strengthen coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and help you move forward with greater confidence.

I have a special interest in supporting adults living with chronic pain, chronic illness, infertility, IVF, and other medical conditions that impact mental health. These experiences can affect every part of life—including relationships, identity, self-esteem, work, and daily functioning. You deserve a space where those challenges are understood and where you don’t have to carry them alone.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I believe therapy should feel like a genuine conversation where you feel comfortable being yourself while also feeling supported and challenged to grow.

I earned my B.A. in Psychology and my M.Ed. in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from Florida Atlantic University. With more than 11 years of experience helping adults, my goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to your unique needs.

If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to support you.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

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.
