LGBT therapists in Indiana

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.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over eight years of experience serving the Lafayette and West Lafayette community. My work has spanned a variety of settings, including child and family services, support for individuals experiencing homelessness, and providing therapy to individuals, couples, and children.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology with a clinical concentration from Purdue University, and my Master of Social Work from the Indiana University School of Social Work. My professional journey has been deeply rooted in supporting some of the most vulnerable populations—through the child welfare system, community mental health, and with university students navigating life transitions.

Hello and congratulations for taking the first and sometimes hardest step of looking for a therapist. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of IN, KY LA, MO, NV, TX, WA and WV. I have the great privilege of working with adolescents and adults seeking assistance in improving their overall mental health and associated challenges. I’ve been in the behavioral health arena for over 40 years and have held numerous direct care and clinical leadership roles in a variety of settings. My joy comes from helping people navigate life's challenges.

I have 10+ years of experience doing this work. I'm naturally drawn to people, and bring curiosity regarding your story- diversity of background, personalities, and identities. My special interests include supporting neurodivergence, being queer, going through separations, transitions, and grief- I've worked collaboratively with families, couples, kids, and everybody in between- in schools, in private practice, and a nonprofit I'm passionate about. I'd love to hear your story and empower it.

I am a career changer, having worked with international students before moving to social work, in which my experiences include: psychiatric inpatient, medical (oncology), and mental health outpatient settings.

Put simply: my curiosity and empathy for people is what drives me through my career and through my current work with clients.

I have a Master of Social Work and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).
