About
Life’s struggles should not be battled alone. I promote a relational approach alongside a multitude of therapeutic modalities by meeting people where they are, cultivating a safe space, and empowering people to become agents of change.
I am a licensed social worker (LSW) with 2 years of experience working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, relationship issues, and other life challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on building trust so clients can explore their emotions in a safe space. I believe in helping individuals develop practical tools for emotional regulation, communication, and personal growth, while reminding them that healing is a journey, not a destination.
I earned my master’s in social work from Indiana Wesleyan University. My therapeutic style combines a strengths-based, relational perspective with evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and emotionally focused approaches.
Nobody should feel alone in their struggles. My goal is to provide an uplifting and supportive environment where clients can process difficult emotions, build resilience, and move toward lifelong change. I am here to walk alongside you through every valley and mountaintop because it’s never too late to reach out for help.

Struggling with depression can make people feel like they are alone and isolated in the world. They may misunderstand the illness, thinking they are simply feeling sad and should just try to “get over it.” However, depression can be a complicated and debilitating illness, drastically impacting the way people function and taking away enjoyment from the things they once loved.
Worse still, it can come without warning, even if you feel your life is otherwise going well. It can be hard to live your life normally when the weight of depression is dragging you down.
Fortunately, depression is treatable and is something you don’t have to face alone. Millions of people have sought depression counseling to alleviate their symptoms and regain control of their lives. Though it can be difficult to acknowledge the need for professional help, depression therapy can be the greatest gift you ever give yourself.
At Thriveworks in Lafayette, IN, our team of mental health experts can help you face anxiety, depression, and many other mental illnesses. We look forward to helping you live the life you want.
Though depression can cause numerous symptoms, it might look different from person to person. Additionally, the length of a depressive episode can vary greatly though it is defined as a period of at least two weeks.
Even during an episode, symptoms may be inconsistent depending on internal and external factors. Some people even experience drastic swings between highs and lows.
Treating depression can be an ongoing process. Many battle chronic depression throughout their lives, seeking treatment during difficult periods. While the number and severity of these symptoms may vary, the following are some of the most common signs of depression:
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, even if they are minor, it may be worth speaking with a mental health professional about whether therapy would be the right course for you. You don’t have to feel like there is any shame in seeking help to get your life back on track. Depression symptoms can be just as debilitating as a physical illness and a therapist can provide insight that can be difficult to find on your own.
Thriveworks Counseling in Lafayette, IN can provide stability and help you work through your depression.
Depression may be difficult to live with but it can be treated through medication, therapy, or a combination of both. In the case of therapy, speaking with a professional can help somebody living with depression to address any issues that may be contributing to their mental health.
Depression therapy centers around exploring the causes of depression, from family history to factors in early life that may affect your mental health. Often, treating depression involves discovering lingering issues in a person’s life and focusing on helping the client control the factors they can while learning to accept those they cannot.
At Thriveworks in Lafayette, IN, we use a variety of approaches to treat depression. The challenges you face are unique to you and we want to work with you to find a method that suits your needs and lifestyle. Counseling sessions allow a mental health professional to learn about your background and pinpoint causes and actionable steps to go with them.
For instance, a therapist might recommend cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to manage the patterns of thought that lead to depression, teaching a client to recognize these thoughts and process or adjust them in a healthy manner. The goal of therapy is not simply to find the quickest solution, but rather to formulate strategies that will lead to a more stable and fulfilling life in the long term.
Living with depression can have a serious impact on your ability to function. If you’re struggling with symptoms of depression or think you might be exhibiting symptoms, there’s no need to try to fight it on your own.
