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.

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 Lafayette, 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 Lafayette 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.
The licensed psychologists at Thriveworks in Lafayette, IN are experienced in helping people work through their mental and emotional problems. Our psychologists work with clients of all ages and backgrounds to overcome mental health issues that are interfering with their lives.

For many clients, gaining an outside perspective is a critical part of working through difficult emotions and feelings. Some of the most common reasons clients seek the guidance of a licensed psychologist include:
If any of these apply to you and you wish to seek diagnosis and treatment from a mental health counselor, consider making an appointment with a Thriveworks psychologist in Lafayette, IN.
Many psychologists use talk therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), to treat a variety of conditions. CBT addresses your own thinking patterns, acknowledging the limitations of these patterns and building new, healthier ones.
In the short term, a licensed psychologist can help you work through issues or stressors you may be experiencing in your daily life. But in the long term, a psychologist can help you work through deep-rooted problems and build coping skills for ongoing life issues.
Working with a psychologist can build a number of ongoing benefits in your life beyond what you might expect. While treatment can address existing mental illness, it can also help improve self-worth, confidence, and communications skills. A psychologist can also help you work through fears that you’ve experienced throughout much of your life.
We offer services tailored to your needs, including evening and weekend sessions, and also accept most major health insurance plans. If you feel that emotional or mental issues are keeping you from fulfilling your goals and living life to the fullest, the clinical psychologists at Thriveworks in Lafayette, IN are here to help you take back control.
