What
is your counseling philosophy?
My
focus is designed to help individuals realize their strengths and potential.
By emphasizing individual choice and responsibility, my clients can, with
minimal assistance, effectively address and resolve issues that hinder the
development of personal strengths. My understanding nature, paired
with my strong desire to see individuals succeed, allows my clients to grow
in a safe environment conducive to the achievement of optimum life
potential.
What
is your counseling experience?
I
received my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Law and Society from
Purdue University. As an undergrad, I gained valuable experience
working with adolescents. Upon graduation, I worked in the Mental
Health sector, working with children, adolescents and adults. I
received my Masters of Social Work degree from Indiana University,
Indianapolis, where I focused my studies on relationships and families.
I currently work in conjunction with adult men and women to help them make
positive choices and better their quality of life. I actively attend
workshops to stay current in the field and gain valuable insight on
counseling techniques that are effective with today's society.

Do
You Accept Insurance?
I
will offer receipts for all clients requesting one so that you can submit
claims to your insurance company for reimbursement. I request full
payment for services at the time of each session. I do accept Check,
Cash, Visa or Mastercard, and Money Orders. To inquire about the
reimbursement you will receive from your insurance company, simply contact
the customer service number on the back of your card and state the following
to your company's representative.
"I
am seeking counseling with an out-of-network, MSW, mental health provider
and I would like to know what my coverage is, and where I need to submit
my receipts for reimbursement."
They
should be able to provide you all of the information you need based on that.
Also
accepting MC/Visa.
