“I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor located in Indianapolis, IN. I specialize in child and adolescent trauma and have received an award for my work with children involved in the Department of Child Services and Wraparound Services. I found a need in our inner city schools, that are often written off and not given much attention, for more engaged and consistent mental health care so I began a private practice with my clinic in a school to be fully partnered and incorporated into the system I am working to create change in. I work to create a culture of mental health and trauma awareness to not only support the students and family but to support the teachers and staff as well so the students have the best possible opportunities for positive outcomes and the breaking of the trauma cycle.”
