About
I’m a culturally responsive therapist with experience supporting clients working through depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and grief, and I strive to offer a warm, grounded space where people from all backgrounds feel understood, supported, and empowered in their healing.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 7years of experience supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, obsessive-compulsive concerns, attention-deficit and hyperactivity challenges, grief, and major life transitions. I specialize in helping clients seek clarity, emotional relief, and practical tools for meaningful change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your needs so you feel supported every step of the way.
I earned my master’s degree in social work from Indiana University. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and other evidence-based practices to help clients build coping skills, process difficult experiences, and strengthen emotional resilience.
I am here to meet you with empathy, curiosity, and respect for your story. If you are ready to take the next step toward healing, I would be honored to support you. When you feel ready, I welcome you to reach out and begin this process at your own pace.

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Indianapolis, IN is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
