While originally from Rhode Island, I spent several years in Arizona before moving to Indiana 13 years ago. I love being a Hoosier and consider Indy my adopted home. From a young age, I knew I wanted to be a social worker, and that was solidified during my first college internship working with a grief program for children called “Tu Nidito”. I absolutely loved my time there and was so moved by the transformative power of therapy.

​

I went on to receive a B.A. in psychology with a minor in family studies from the University of Arizona, and then, when my now husband's career brought us to Indiana, I received my MSW from IU with a focus on children and child welfare. I spent several years as a home-based therapist working with children involved in the DCS system. There, I was able to work with a variety of clients and families, really honing inon my passion for preschool and elementary-aged children who struggle with Emotional Dysregulation, Anxiety, and OCD. I believe that all children can benefit from social-emotional learning, expanding their emotional vocabulary, and learning to effectively cope with the anxiety they will face throughout their lives. I love teaching from a growth mindset and helping kids reach their true potential.

​

While your child may be the reason you found your way to One Mind, I also love helping families become the best family unit they can be, and I find working with families as a whole during the therapeutic process extremely beneficial. Parent education is so important and beneficial to the mental health of the whole family. Therapy is a wonderful tool for everyone!

When I’m not working, you’ll find me being a mom to my three kiddos (ages 10, 13, and 14) and wife to my awesome husband, Clint. We have two Aussies, Indy and Etsy, who keep us busy! I also love to read, cook, and travel…especially anywhere with a beach and lots of sunshine! I hope to be meeting you soon!
