Clients should know that I’m a real person first and a therapist second. I actually started my career in sports management, but life had other plans — and a series of lived experiences pulled me toward social work in a way that felt impossible to ignore. I went on to complete my MSW at Indiana State University in Terre Haute, IN, and I’ve spent the last ten years working in child protection, community health, and hospital social work in a Level 1 trauma facility.

I also spent years as a caregiver, which made me especially comfortable working with older adults and taught me that humor, patience, and a good cup of coffee can get you through almost anything. I’m nearing completion of my PST therapy certification, which adds a structured, problem‐solving lens to the work we do.

I take therapy seriously, but I don’t take myself too seriously — so you can expect warmth, honesty, and the occasional well‐timed laugh when life hands us something so absurd it deserves one.

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 Indianapolis

Searching for postpartum therapists in Indianapolis starts with finding someone whose training matches the support you want. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you review options, look for therapists who list perinatal mental health, postpartum support, or experience with new parents in their profiles. A certification such as PMH-C can also signal focused training in perinatal mental health care.

Indianapolis has a broad network of therapists, which can make it easier to find options across neighborhoods, schedules, and care formats. For new parents, practical fit matters: appointment availability, infant care, physical recovery, and commute time can shape what works week to week. Virtual sessions can expand access when getting to an office is harder, while in-person care may fit better if you prefer a dedicated space outside the home. Reading therapist bios can help you compare communication style, listed specialties, and whether a free phone consultation is offered before you book.

Therapy in Indianapolis can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before starting care. Headway makes it easier to search for postpartum therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.

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