About
Every person's story is unique. The process of interpreting that story can be transformative. As your partner in this process, I bring my clinical expertise and diverse background to support you on your journey toward growth.
I am a talk therapist with 5 years of experience supporting teens, adults, and seniors. My practice focuses on helping clients manage depression, anxiety, addiction, and trauma. This work is informed by over 20 prior years in community health, giving me a deep understanding of diverse client needs. My approach is collaborative and practical, targeting current symptoms and their effect on daily life. I believe strongly that "laughter is medicine for the soul" and I like to bring humor to my sessions when appropriate.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Simmons University. I employ a flexible, client-centered approach, drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities to best support my clients. These approaches include Emotionally Focused Therapy, Psychoanalytic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Christian Counseling, and Motivational Interviewing.
I foster a relaxed and encouraging space where you can safely explore life's many struggles. While I understand the importance of the past, my focus is firmly on your present strengths. I will partner with you to take an active role in developing a personalized plan for your healing. If you're ready to begin, reach out to me today!

Psychologists are mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy services and diagnoses for their clients. They have more research-focused training than most therapists, as they are more medically educated and receive a more general education about therapeutic approaches and theory.
Thriveworks psychologists in Munster, IN provide standard psychotherapy services, tailoring treatment to each client and their unique concerns. However, they can also provide diagnoses to clients when appropriate, something that therapists and counselors cannot do. Finally, in some states in the U.S., they are allowed to prescribe medication.
Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Munster is very individualized and specific to each client, which means that the duration of treatment is often varied depending on a client’s condition or disorder, the state of their symptoms, and their specific goals.

Here are a few common reasons to seek out the help of a counseling psychologist:
This is by no means a complete list. If you’re struggling with a mood disorder or another mental health issue, the licensed professionals at Thriveworks Counseling in Munster, IN can guide you toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.
When treating mental disorders, clinical psychologists typically utilize some form of talk therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT. Under the supervision of a licensed professional, CBT can provide an in-depth look at how your thought processes and beliefs impact your emotions, behaviors, and social interactions.
During therapy sessions, psychologists can teach their clients lessons that last a lifetime. You may learn coping mechanisms to deal with common stressors, relaxation techniques to calm your emotions, or self-care tactics to more effectively tolerate distress.
Individuals who have undergone therapy often leave with improved communication skills and the ability to make healthier choices in their lives. You may also leave with a better understanding of the events in your life that have shaped you into the person you are today.
