About
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner and mother, I bring both clinical expertise and heartfelt understanding to help clients and families find balance, healing, and resilience.
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 17 years of experience supporting clients through life’s emotional challenges. I understand that healing begins with seeing the whole person, mind, body, and environment, and I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, mood changes, trauma, and behavioral concerns. Together, we explore what’s getting in the way of your growth and create a path toward clarity, balance, and emotional well-being.
I hold a Master’s in Nursing from Walden University. My approach blends evidence-based care with a calm, collaborative style that draws from mindfulness, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy, along with thoughtful medication management when needed. I strive to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.
You do not have to move through your challenges alone—healing is possible, and meaningful change starts with feeling supported. I aim to help you reconnect with your strengths and move forward with confidence and peace. When you are ready, I would be honored to walk beside you on this next step in your journey.

OCD counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach aimed at supporting individuals coping with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The goal of this counseling is to help clients manage and alleviate the distressing symptoms of OCD by systematically addressing their obsessive thought patterns and compulsive behaviors.
In OCD counseling, Thriveworks Munster therapists use cognitive behavioral techniques, including exposure and response prevention, to assist you in addressing and managing your obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. An OCD therapist will collaborate with you to identify and modify irrational thought patterns while gradually and gently exposing you to anxiety-triggering situations, helping to disrupt the cycle of obsessive-compulsive rituals and promote healthier coping strategies.
Thriveworks OCD counseling in Munster, IN is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of sessions for OCD counseling is variable, contingent upon the individual’s unique needs, the severity of their condition, and their progress during treatment. Typically, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), commonly used for OCD, comprises around 12 to 16 weekly sessions, but the exact session count can be customized based on the individual’s response to treatment and therapeutic objectives. Some opt for a more extended duration to comprehensively manage symptoms and address complex issues.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
