Welcome
What an exciting and courageous journey you are embarking on in exploring therapy! The decision of who to work with in therapy is significant. It is essential that the person is someone you feel safe with, who will help you with the things most important to you, and who is skilled in approaches and theories that will help. I hope this site gives you helpful information along these lines as you decide if I may be that person .
About Me
I am a mental health counselor licensed in the state of Indiana (LMHC). I have provided individual, couples, marriage, family, and group therapy in Greater Lafayette, Indiana since 2004. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Arts from Grove City College, Grove City, PA; a Master of Arts in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, FL; and a Two-Year Certificate in Advanced Training in Adult Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy from The Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis, Chicago, IL.
I love the privilege and opportunity of joining you in such a valuable and worthwhile pursuit. I work to listen and attend to the many and varied parts of you with great care and sensitivity. While being empathic, compassionate, and emotionally-present to others is essential to being an effective therapist, it is also central to who I am as a person. In order for therapy to be as impactful as it can be, you will need to feel l know that I really like you and who you are and that I can accept, handle, and tolerate all of you. Ultimately, the quality of our connection and your increased capacity to self-regulate will be the source of your growth and healing.
