Let's Start Your Healing Journey, Together

Academic

My journey into understanding what makes us human and how to truly help others has been a deeply personal and inspiring one. My Bachelor of Arts in Humanities from Indiana University opened my eyes to the rich tapestry of human cultures and philosophies, sparking a real curiosity about the way we think and behave.

Driven by a heartfelt desire to make a positive difference, I pursued and earned my certification in grief and bereavement counseling from the AAHCP. This specialized training has equipped me with invaluable skills and a deeper sense of compassion, shaping how I connect with and support individuals navigating their own unique and often challenging experiences.

We believe in the gentle power of mindfulness, and it's a central part of how we approach our counseling. It's about helping you become more aware – noticing your thoughts, emotions, and experiences with kindness and curiosity. By weaving mindfulness into our sessions, we'll explore ways for you to better understand and navigate your feelings, nurturing a deeper sense of self-awareness and emotional balance. We've found that this practice really supports healing and personal growth, which is why it's such an important and heartfelt part of our holistic approach to your well-being.

We truly believe in the power of cultivating positive thoughts and imagining a brighter future. It's not just about getting through tough times; it's about building inner strength and opening ourselves up to all the wonderful possibilities for growth and healing that lie ahead. By gently encouraging you to focus on what could be, we hope to spark a sense of hope and motivation, guiding you towards a life that feels more fulfilling and filled with optimism. This belief in your potential is really at the heart of how we support you in navigating challenges and reaching for your personal dreams.

At the heart of our counseling is a deep belief in the power of connection. We really focus on building a strong and meaningful relationship between you and your counselor. We believe that by truly understanding your unique experiences and how you see the world, we can create a space where open communication and genuine trust can blossom. It's through this supportive connection that we aim to help you gain deeper insights and foster positive changes in your life. For us, it's all about creating a safe and trusting bond where real growth can happen.

One of the really powerful journeys we embark on together is transforming those negative thought patterns that can hold us back into thoughts that are more positive and supportive. It's not just about noticing those harmful beliefs; it's about gently guiding you to replace them with thoughts that feel healthier and more empowering. By focusing on this beautiful shift, we aim to nurture a mindset that's naturally more optimistic and resilient, which can truly lift your overall well-being and help you feel so much better.
