Fort Wayne, IN Therapy, Psychiatry, and Counseling

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and groups. My work has included private practice, correctional settings, and serving as a clinical director at an addiction recovery center. I specialize in helping clients navigate addiction, anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, ADHD, suicidal ideation, crises, parenting challenges, self-esteem, codependency, and relationship difficulties.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Indiana University. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, family systems, and motivational interviewing. I integrate these modalities to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs and goals.

I am committed to helping you build a healthier, more fulfilling life. I provide a compassionate yet direct environment, offering encouragement and tools to support your growth without enabling. My goal is to empower you to reach your goals while focusing on practical, lasting results that honor the value of your time.
