I believe meaningful, lasting change happens through authentic connection, a collaborative approach and evidence-based care.
Hello, and welcome. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I am passionate about helping adults navigate anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and life transitions with compassion and evidence-based care. I often work with individuals who feel overwhelmed by worry, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or the lasting effects of difficult experiences. Together, we'll build practical coping skills, increase self-understanding, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to provide a safe, collaborative space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to move toward the life you want.
My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to your unique needs. Drawing from evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, and Attachment Theory, I help adults manage anxiety, ADHD, trauma, burnout, and life transitions by building practical coping skills, improving self-esteem, and emotional regulation to create the life you want to live.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, you’re not alone. Healing and growth are possible, and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself. When you’re ready, I welcome you to reach out and take the next step toward a more grounded and fulfilling life.

What support are you seeking?
You acknowledge that by submitting this form, you are providing what may be considered “sensitive data” and consent to Thriveworks Privacy Policy & Terms. By submitting this information, you consent to receive communication from Thriveworks about our services via automatic calls, artificial or pre-recorded messages, or texts at the phone number provided, or by email at the address provided. You have the option to opt out of communications.
We will contact you with availability updates based on the preferences you provided for up to six months.
In Munster, your cost depends on whether you use insurance or pay out of pocket. With insurance, most patients pay a copay between $0 and $55 per session. If you’re self-pay, rates vary by state—typically $200 to $240 for your first therapy session and $160 to $195 for follow-ups, or $300 to $375 for an initial psychiatry session and $210 to $300 for follow-ups. Contact our Munster office or visit our pricing page to learn more.
Yes, Thriveworks Munster accepts insurance to help cover services, including individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and psychiatry. Couples and family therapy aren’t always covered the same way, since some plans only cover sessions considered medically necessary.
We’ll verify your insurance and estimate your out-of-pocket cost for you before your first session, but it’s still worth confirming your specific benefits with your insurer, especially if your plan requires pre-authorization (advance approval from your insurer before certain treatments are covered).
Fit matters more than almost anything else in therapy. Research consistently shows the relationship between you and your therapist is one of the strongest predictors of whether treatment actually works, no matter their approach. Start by thinking about what you want help with, then browse provider profiles in Munster and filter by specialty, insurance, and availability to find someone who feels right for you. If your first session doesn’t click, no problem. You can switch providers anytime, no fees, no hassle.
All three support mental health in different ways. A therapist provides talk therapy to help you work through challenges; a psychologist also provides therapy, but their doctoral training lets them do psychological testing and formal evaluations; a psychiatrist is a medical provider who can prescribe medication.
Thriveworks Munster offers therapy and psychiatry together, so you can get the right type of care—or a combination—in one place. For more detail, see our straightforward guide to mental health care professionals.
Most patients at Thriveworks Munster see a provider within six days. We offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends. Book online or call our Munster office to find the soonest session with a therapist or psychiatric provider.
Yes. Psychiatric providers at Thriveworks Munster can prescribe and manage medication, and many patients pair that with talk therapy from a separate provider. Our team coordinates the two together.
Your first session is mostly about getting to know each other. Your therapist will ask what brought you in, talk through your history and goals, and start shaping a plan for care. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with—the first session is a conversation, not a test. Want more detail? Here’s exactly what to expect, step by step.
Yes. Thriveworks Munster offers both in-person sessions at our local office and online (telehealth) sessions, so you can choose what’s most convenient and switch between the two as your needs change.
