From 1993 to 2002, I provided individual child, adolescent, and adult therapy, along with couples and family therapy, in private practice settings in Anderson and Carmel, IN. Because of my goal-oriented style and personality, I quickly became known for my life coaching as well. I have continued to develop and hone my therapy and life coaching skills over the past 20+ years.
In 2002, I started Lotus Group, a group private practice, providing therapy and psychiatric treatment, in the heart of Fishers, IN. Since its inception, Lotus Group has been recognized throughout central Indiana for providing a high quality of care. Lotus Group is now in its 17th year, and it continues to provide the same quality of care it has become known for. During my years at Lotus Group, I have continued to provide individual, couples, and family therapy. During these 17 years, it is at Lotus Group where I have had many clients who are executives, business owners, and higher-level professionals, allowing me to develop my Executive Coaching skills. This completed the three significant pieces I offer today; Executive Coaching, Life Coaching, and Therapy. This is why I refer to myself as a Performance Coach. I have the ability to mix these three different, yet overlapping skill sets, allowing me to meet all clients where they are — and take them where they want to go — in their work life or personal life or anywhere in-between. I am very confident in my ability to help a client perform better in life, work, or both.
In 2013, I started another mental health business called Indianapolis TMS. Indianapolis TMS provides a medical treatment specifically for the treatment of Major Depression in clients when anti-depressant medications do not help them. As a “second-line” treatment, it is very successful in the treatment of Major Depression.
Both Lotus Group and Indianapolis TMS continue to thrive as quality care providers in the mental health field. It is certainly one of my greatest privileges in life to serve as sole owner and President for both Lotus Group and Indianapolis TMS.
