Because all therapy takes place virtually, through messaging, live virtual sessions, or both, providers can communicate more frequently and casually in comparison to traditional face-to-face therapy. Talkspace treatment methods are supported by scientific research and are committed to non-judgmental care that is inclusive and respectful of cultural and other identities. Talkspace patients are matched with the best provider for them based on their needs and availability during the registration process. Once matched with a provider, patients may change at any time, and may contact support to request a specific provider. *The above is attributed to Talkspace and not the provider.*

Biography: Thank you for taking the time to view my profile! The field of psychology and behavior has been my academic and career path for over 10 years. My work is my passion and I enjoy watching others grown and flourish on their paths. I completed my Bachelors of Science in Psychology with concentrations in clinical rehabilitation and psychology of addictions in 2006 through Purdue University. While pursuing this degree, I aided in a longitudinal research study focused on intelligence and information processing through the Purdue Institute for Behavioral Sciences. While earning my Master's, I volunteered for Riley's Children Hospital as a behavior therapist with autistic children. During the same time, I also completed two practicums and internships (university setting and corrections), focusing my skills aiding adults with intense personal struggles and family dysfunction. While working with adults, I found my passion in those struggling daily with emotional concerns and addictions. My Master of Arts in clinical psychology was completed in 2008 at University of Indianapolis with a concentration in mental health counseling. Since then, I have worked in outpatient as well as inpatient settings, while also teaching psychology part-time as adjunct faculty for a local college.

Biography: I am delighted to be in a place in my life where the mental health of others is primary. I am an LMHC and have been so since 1998. I believe that counselors that can help others are born with the counseling gift; and the educational curriculum and specialties are supports in accomplishing their academic needs. I say this because even as a young woman riding the city bus, strangers would sit next to me and tell me their most horrible life experiences. In other words, I was born to do what I do. For the past several years I felt that my professional counseling days were over and in that time I completed several workshops, wrote a devotional, and looked forward to a time when I could relax and bask in a life well completed. That dream has changed as I have witnessed the world as a whole in the last several years. We are facing new and even greater challenges in our lives! (e.g., Covid-19, Mass Unemployment, Families on the brink of disaster, Mass Shootings, etc.) I am returning to the counseling world to do my part. I see there is so much that needs to be done. I cannot rest in my gifts anymore. I am here to listen and support your emotional health. We all need that kind of support, now more than at any time I have witnessed in my years of counseling interactions. I look forward to being of service in anyway I can. Never judging, listening, and always encouraging you to be your better-self! I'm here for you!

In addition to teaching, my main occupation is working with Veterans and military families as a Primary Care Mental Health Integration (PCMHI) Licensed Clinical Psychologist within the Department of Veterans Affairs, located in Cape Coral, Florida. Regarding my clinical background, I received my M.A. and Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Midwestern University Downers Grove Campus in 2022, after completing my doctoral internship in Health Psychology at Richard L. Roudebush VAMC in Indianapolis, IN. In 2023, I completed my Post Doctoral Fellowship in Neuropsychology & Geropsychology at the Bruce W. Carter VA Medical Center in Miami, FL.

I expanded upon my research with service members and dedicated my post-doctoral research to understanding the needs of veterans living with dementia, incapacitating neurodegenerative diseases, or physical illness, to improve healthcare services, quality of life, and communication with providers from multiple specialties and disciplines. Following the completion of my research, I was offered and accepted a leadership position within the Department of Veteran's Affairs as Webinar Coordinator for the Early Career Psychologist Special Interest Group (ECP SIG), and have utilized my position to build a PCMHI Memory Clinic for Veterans at the VA location where I am employed.

Biography: I am licensed in Florida with 10 years of professional work experience, but I've been in the mental health world for over 20. Every therapist is going to tell you they provide a safe and confidential place to share what is on your mind. That is something that should come standard with therapy like brakes on a car. You want to know if I can actually help you with your problems, and if we are going to "click." Many people give up on therapy, because they try once with a therapist they didn't click with. They didn't feel comfortable, or the personalities simply clash. I can't promise that I'm the therapist that can help you solve the issues you are bringing to therapy. I also can't promise that our personalities will not clash. Here is what I will promise. I'm going to be real with you. I'm not going to blabber a bunch of psycho babble that isn't practical to you. I also have a tendency to be blunt if I feel that is what is needed. Working with couples is my favorite, but at least half of my clients are individuals dealing with a wide range of general mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and social skills. I also love working with clients dealing with grief and loss.

I have intense experience in preparing psycho-social evaluations for those entering or being served in Special Education Services. I've done dropout and suicide prevention training within school systems. My Christian faith is my guiding force in life although I do not impose my views on anyone. I feel most effective in assisting in bereavement counseling and grief awareness as I am the bereaved mother of 2 children. I've spoken and written about grief awareness. I also feel versed in dealing with the complexities of being a special needs parent due to my daughter having endured a chromosome disorder. I've dealt with varying exceptionalities with students ages 0- adult throughout my 35 years as a school social worker as well as dealing with foster care students. Most of all, I strive to make the world a better place by assisting in the areas where I am most helpful and truly believe in the "Each One Reach One," philosophy. I don't view life as ever becoming perfect but I do believe that we can make it more meaningful despite our hardships; some of which exist throughout life. I have an impulsive Yorkie Dog and I believe in Pet Therapy! I was given her within a couple of months of losing my daughter; and named her "Hope," believing that she can be one of the ingredients of the world which will give me the hope to go on. I'd like to provide you with hope as well. Best to all!

Care Philosophy: Talkspace partners with care providers who find satisfaction in providing therapy in a way that prioritizes the client's convenience and preferences. Because all therapy takes place virtually, through messaging, live virtual sessions, or both, providers can communicate more frequently and casually in comparison to traditional face-to-face therapy. Talkspace treatment methods are supported by scientific research and are committed to non-judgmental care that is inclusive and respectful of cultural and other identities. Talkspace patients are matched with the best provider for them based on their needs and availability during the registration process. Once matched with a provider, patients may change at any time, and may contact support to request a specific provider. *The above is attributed to Talkspace and not the provider.*
