Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in South Bend, IN

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Indiana and Michigan. I graduated with my Bachelor's in Social Work in 2021 and with my Master's in Social Work in 2023. Since 2018, I've supported adults through a variety of healthcare settings including older adults, adults with developmental disabilities, survivors of domestic violence and substance use, and adults living with serious mental illnesses.

I am currently accepting new clients with Saturday all day availability! I am seeking clients who often feel like their emotions are too much for other people. They struggle to speak up and feel confident in themselves. As a result, they keep a lot in and just try their best to put a smile on their face to keep going. Often they wonder if other people feel this way or they think that there is something wrong with them for having a big heart and caring too much in a world that seems scary and cruel. It may be difficult to feel connected to others and lonely. They're not sure if anyone really cares as much as they do.

I am a compassionate, open-minded therapist who values direct communication and builds genuine connections through honesty. I work effectively with teens and adults navigating identity, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Therapy is a collaboration to help you get where you want to go. As a social worker with over a decade of experience working with individuals, families and groups, I know that every person's journey is unique. That is why I draw on an eclectic collection of therapeutic skills including approaches from motivational interviewing, DBT, CBT, solution focused and attachment based therapy to help others grow.

I am a seasoned psychotherapist and psychiatric provider with nearly two decades of experience in the behavioral health field. After earning a Master of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Louisville in 2006, I became licensed by the Kentucky Board of Social Work. I also hold national certification in case management (CCMC), am a licensed supervisory-level addictions specialist (CADAC-IV) through the International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium, and a licensed marriage and family therapist through the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT).

My academic journey continued with a Doctorate in Behavioral Health from Arizona State University, specializing in integrated medical and behavioral health services, followed by a Post-Doctorate Master of Science in Clinical Psychopharmacology from Fairleigh Dickinson University. I further expanded my scope of practice through a Master’s Entry in Professional Nursing (BSN & MSN) from the University of Louisville in 2020, a Post-Master’s Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Northern Kentucky University in 2021, and a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Duke University. I am board certified as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, licensed to prescribe and manage medications.

In addition to clinical practice, I have led multidisciplinary teams and supervised clinical operations, enhancing quality of care, staff development, and patient outcomes across diverse systems. I am deeply committed to lifelong learning and delivering compassionate, evidence-based, integrative care to individuals and families in both Kentucky and Indiana.

I explore a patient's need for external validation and identify old, negative motivators used to inspire achievement-based goals. I teach self-care and self-regulating practices while modeling healthy attunement. Together, we explore conflict-avoidant behaviors and healthy dependency. Being a highly sensitive person is not a weakness but an empathic strength. I explore the guilt, shame, and fear that cause "analysis paralysis." I analyze unhealthy habits and teach clients to build trust and reconnect with a traumatic body that no longer trusts. You are the expert and I am your guide.
