Therapist & Coach
My Practice
I am a Staff Therapist and Co-owner of Stillpoint, where I have the privilege of practicing as a psychotherapist. My work focuses on supporting individuals and relationships as they navigate life's challenges. With a deep commitment to the therapeutic process, I strive to help clients cultivate awareness, foster growth, and practice integration as they navigate life’s opportunities through meaningful connection and healing.
My background includes a Master's Degree in Community Counseling from Xavier University, completed in 2009, following my undergraduate studies at Hanover College. Having grown up in Indiana, I have spent years cultivating a systemic understanding of the mental health community in Indianapolis. My experience spans urgent psychiatric care, community mental health, and private practice, allowing me to offer informed and comprehensive care. I specialize in trauma, developmental concerns, self integration, spiritual practices and relationship transitions.
As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Grief and Imago Therapy. The modality I find to be primary in my practice is Brainspotting, a powerful brain-body relational therapy that helps clients process blocks stored in the non-verbal part of the brain. This approach allows individuals to experience greater freedom and relief from past burdens. It would be an honor to support you on your journey toward healing, and I hold great hope for your growth. I invite you to take some time to get to know me better and explore the path to well-being.
My Story
When I meet you in therapy, I consider it a sacred space where you are seen, heard, and accepted as you are. I want you to feel safe and know that you are enough. Therapy is an opportunity to cultivate awareness, growth, and integration — to rediscover connection, purpose, and peace. While life’s burdens may feel overwhelming, I hold hope for your healing and have witnessed incredible transformations through this process.
My journey as a therapist has been shaped by meaningful experiences and relationships. From rural Indiana to studying abroad, pursuing my Master's in Community Counseling, and navigating life’s transitions of marriage, children, health and death. I’ve learned that growth often follows cycles of uncertainty and change. Pivotal moments have come when I have witnessed loved ones experience trauma and grief, when I have experienced my own loss of children and fertility, and when I have learned how to partner and dissolve relationships - further inspiring me to offer authentic support. This path leads me to my own healing and being a supportive guide in others stories and journeys. I am captivated by human resilience, meaningful relationships, and the power of connection to something bigger than ourselves.
A profound influence in my journey has been meeting my colleagues, who see my true self and are committed to supporting my development as a therapist and leader. Stillpoint Consultants is an ever evolving space for healing, curiosity, and possibility. I’m grateful for the partnerships formed who share a dedication to helping others choose hope and transformation. Together, we are committed to creating a space where you can explore, heal, and embrace the life you desire.
