One Step Forward Counseling is a Veteran Owned private practice. It was opened in 2018 to serve the Indianapolis and surrounding area’s Veterans and First Responders communities.

My mission is to reduce human suffering. I believe in a holistic approach to healing, which includes lifestyle changes. I do not believe in psychotropic medications as a first plan of action and prefer to go that route last. I encourage clients to make changes in sleep, hydration, diet, stress and exercise. I usually request clients get current bloodwork, to help rule out underlying health issues. I am a Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider (CMHIMP). I am also a Certified Brainspotting Therapist.

I tend to be laid back, casual and less structured in my approach, than some in the field. I use the same skills I teach clients and know I am also a work in progress.  We are all equals in the therapy room and you can teach me as much as I teach you. I will also always be honest with you.
