I’ve always felt called to walk alongside others in their healing journey, and my own experience with mental health has deepened my compassion and sense of purpose as a therapist. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Ball State University and completed my Master’s in Social Work through Indiana University’s accelerated advanced standing program, with a focus on mental health and addictions. Since that time, I’ve had the privilege of working in both private practice and school settings, where I’ve supported children and teens facing a wide variety of challenges. My passion lies in creating a safe, validating space where clients can explore who they are, navigate life’s challenges, and recognize their inherent worth and resilience.
When working with families, I believe that collaboration is key. I value open communication and view parents and caregivers as essential partners in the therapeutic process. I aim to keep you involved and informed throughout your child’s journey in therapy, regularly checking in on goals and progress. Together, we’ll explore strategies that help your child build emotional regulation skills, strengthen relationships, and improve overall well-being. My approach is always individualized, strengths-based, and focused on meeting each child where they are developmentally and emotionally.
Outside of my work at Mini Minds, I enjoy spending quality time with my husband, Quentin, and our families. I love traveling, hiking, building Lego sets, trying out new coffee shops, and deepening my faith through church involvement. I also find joy in creative outlets like reading and painting. These personal passions keep me grounded and energized, so I can show up fully for the clients and families I serve.
