Integrated Behavioral Health

Practices In: South Bend
Patients Seen: All Ages

I was drawn to Inte­grat­ed Behav­ioral Health because I rec­og­nize the bar­ri­ers often present when attempt­ing to access men­tal health care and how impor­tant it is for patients to address phys­i­cal and emo­tion­al needs to func­tion at their best. I imple­ment a vari­ety of short-term coun­sel­ing tech­niques to help patients learn ade­quate cop­ing skills and increase their con­fi­dence in them­selves. I enjoy being col­lab­o­ra­tive with patients and am gen­uine in my care for each per­son. My hope is for my patients to thrive through evi­dence-based care and a team-based approach.

Clinical Interests

My spe­cial areas of inter­est include anx­i­ety and mood dis­or­ders, body image con­cerns, grief, trau­ma informed care, and cri­sis intervention.

Personal Interests

I love spend­ing time with my fam­i­ly, read­ing, and long dis­tance run­ning. Focus­ing on self-care out­side of work is incred­i­bly impor­tant and sus­tains me in all areas of my life.
