I’m a therapist with experience working with adolescents and adults navigating mental health concerns, substance use, trauma, life transitions, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, and other everyday challenges. My clinical approach incorporates evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing, while tailoring treatment to the individual needs and goals of each client.

My approach to therapy is grounded in authenticity, trust, and meeting people where they are. I strive to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients can be honest about what they are experiencing without feeling pressured to have everything figured out. At the same time, I believe therapy should help create meaningful change, and I am comfortable respectfully challenging clients when it can help them recognize patterns, develop new perspectives, and move toward their goals.

My background includes military service prior to becoming a therapist, which has influenced my ability to remain calm during difficult situations and appreciate that people can experience the same circumstances from very different perspectives. I ultimately chose this profession because I value genuine human connection and the opportunity to help people better understand themselves, develop practical skills, and build lives that feel more manageable and meaningful.

When life feels overwhelming, therapy can provide a space to slow down, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence. 21 years of behavioral health and psychotherapy experience, including 16 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).

I specialize in helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, grief, and life transitions. I particularly enjoy working with professionals, caregivers, and high-achieving adults who are often balancing significant responsibilities while putting their own needs last.

Clients describe me as warm, calm, practical, and easy to talk to. Using CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and strengths-based approaches, I help clients build coping skills, gain insight, and create meaningful, lasting change so they can feel more balanced, confident, and in control of their lives.

Therapist

I’m a therapist who believes real change happens when you feel both understood and challenged. I won’t just sit back and nod—I’ll help you make sense of what’s going on, and we’ll actively work toward shifting it.

My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I create a space where you can be honest without feeling judged, while also helping you notice patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I draw from approaches like emotionally focused therapy (EFT), parts work, and skills-based strategies when helpful, but I tailor everything to you rather than forcing you into a one-size-fits-all model.

I work with adults and couples navigating things like relationship stress, trauma, anxiety, identity questions, and major life transitions. With couples, I focus on helping you understand the deeper emotional dynamics underneath conflict—not just the surface arguments—so you can rebuild trust, connection, and a sense of security.

If you’re looking for therapy that goes beyond just talking and moves toward real, lasting change, we’ll likely be a good fit.

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 Merrillville

Searching for therapists in Merrillville starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, trauma, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address. Some bios may mention approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care, which can help you decide who may be a good fit.

Merrillville is part of northwest Indiana, where the number of nearby therapists may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Indiana. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether a therapist offers in-person or virtual sessions, and whether they provide a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, experience, and session approach.

Therapy in Merrillville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients, so you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
