Hi there! I was a teacher for about 10 years, working with students from preschool through high school. I realized it was time to change gears when I became much less interested in teaching curriculum and much more interested in the lives of the students and families I was working with. Once able to focus on the behavioral health path, I became a resiliency coach, school-based therapist, and was fortunate to be able to expand my scope of practice to adults struggling with substance use.

​

I often gravitate toward creative approaches, incorporating art and play-based interventions, mindfulness, mind-body connection, CBT, and DBT. I root myself in a strengths-based, whole-person stance to help guide and navigate the therapeutic journey. I encourage clients to take an active role in treatment and believe collaboration is the key to success.

​

I come to you from New England, growing up in Maine, living a good portion of my professional life in New Hampshire, and spending a year in Vermont before finding my way to Indiana. After living here for about 3 years, my family and I moved to Tennessee, but after a couple of years in the south, we found our way back to the Midwest.

​

Wherever you’re coming from, I’ll meet you where you are and walk beside you until we get to where you are going. We are not meant to walk through the tangle of life’s challenges alone, and I hope to support you in your journey.
