You don't need a name for it to know something feels off.
Most people who reach out to me aren't in crisis. They're just tired of carrying something they can't quite put into words. See if any of these land a little too close to home.
You're everyone's steady one
The person others lean on — and somewhere along the way, no one thought to ask who holds you up.
You've done "the work"
Read the books, listened to the podcasts, journaled about it — and still feel stuck in the same place.
You feel everything intensely
And you've half-wondered, more than once, whether feeling this much is some kind of flaw. (It isn't.)
Fine outside, frayed inside
You look completely put-together from the outside. Inside, it's a much more complicated story.
The same patterns, on repeat
You keep landing in the same dynamics, the same loops — and can't quite see why it keeps happening.
Always a half-step behind
That nagging sense that everyone else got a manual for this and you've been improvising the whole time.
If you saw yourself up there — you're in good company.
None of it means something is wrong with you. It means you're human, you've been carrying a lot, and some part of you is ready for a little support. That's a good place to start.
Where do you want to begin?
These two have a page of their own — start there if one fits. Everything below them is also very much my world; dedicated pages for more of these are on the way.
Trauma & Attachment Healing
For the part of you that learned long ago it wasn't safe to need things. Using Internal Family Systems, we get curious about your story instead of being run by it.

Smart, capable, and somehow always behind? There's a real reason it feels that way — and a way to work with your brain instead of constantly against it.

Individual therapy for adults
Self-understanding & healing
My primary focus — figuring out who you are underneath the coping, the masking, and the stories you were handed.
Anxiety
The worry loops, the bracing, the 2 a.m. mental rehearsals. We slow it down and find what it's protecting.
Depression
The flat, heavy, "what's the point" stretches — and the way back toward what actually matters to you.
Grief & loss
For the losses people expect you to be "over" by now — and the ones nobody else even names.
Life transitions
College to career, midlife, divorce, becoming a parent, perimenopause — the in-between, when you're between selves.
Relationship patterns
The same wall, the same dynamic, over and over. We work on your side of it so something can actually shift.
Bipolar
Steady, ongoing support for living well alongside it — not just managing the hardest days.
Maintaining sobriety
The unglamorous, ongoing work of staying with the change you've made — and building a life that supports it.
Don't see your thing?
Most people don't fit one tidy label. Let's just talk it through.
Reach out →The approaches I use
What I'm trained inInternal Family Systems (IFS)
You're made up of parts — the critic, the protector, the younger wounded one. None are the enemy. We get curious about what each has been trying to do for you.
IFS-trained (not certified).
Acceptance & Commitment (ACT)
Less about arguing with your thoughts, more about changing your relationship to them — so they stop running the show. Great for minds that don't respond to "just think differently."
ACT-trained.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Practical, here-and-now tools — structure that actually sticks, and catching the thought spirals before they take the whole afternoon. Woven in where it's genuinely useful.

“The problem is the problem. You're not the problem.”
“Guilt has an expiration date.”
“We're the authors of our own stories — even when it doesn't feel that way.”
“The weirdness is usually the most interesting part of you. Let's not sand it down.”
Hi, I'm Tiffanie.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years in mental health — community work, palliative care, training and supervision, and the last several years in private practice at Innisfree Counseling. I keep my caseload intentionally small, because I'd rather actually know the people I work with than rush a full schedule and hope something lands.
I hold an MSW from Indiana University and an MFA in Creative Writing — which sounds like an odd pairing until you meet the people I work best with: creative, sensitive, intellectual, a little sassy, the ones who feel everything deeply and sometimes wish they didn't. Warm and conversational is my default. A little humor is non-negotiable. And I genuinely believe the parts of you that don't fit the mold are usually the most interesting parts you've got.
No bots. No giant caseload. Just me.
A note: I can't promise specific outcomes, and anyone who does should give you pause. What I can promise is that I show up fully and take this work seriously.
Getting started is genuinely simple.
Reach out
Send a message through the contact page. It comes straight to me — no automated systems, no booking bot. Just a note saying you'd like to talk.
We have a free consult
I follow up personally to set up a short call — usually 15 to 20 minutes. You ask me anything, I learn a little about you, and we see if this feels like a fit. No commitment either way.
We get to work
If it's a good match, we book your first session and start making sense of your story — at a pace that's yours. If it's not, I'll point you toward someone who's a better fit.
A few things people usually want to know
Are you accepting new clients? +
Yes — I'm currently accepting new clients for both in-person sessions in Brownsburg and telehealth anywhere in Indiana.
Do you take insurance? +
I'm in-network with Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and UnitedHealthcare/UMR, with more on the way. I also offer a limited sliding scale, and superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. You can see the full breakdown on the pricing page.
Where are you located, and do you offer telehealth? +
My office is at 5724 Green St, Brownsburg, IN — just west of Indianapolis. I also offer telehealth to anyone in Indiana. Since I'm licensed in Indiana only, virtual sessions are available to Indiana residents.
What actually happens on a free consultation call? +
It's short and low-pressure — usually 15 to 20 minutes. We talk about what's bringing you in, you ask me whatever you want about how I work, and we both get a sense of whether we're a fit. There's no paperwork and no obligation.
Do you do couples therapy or ADHD testing? +
No on both — I work with adults individually, and I do therapy rather than testing or formal diagnosis. If that's what you need, I'm happy to point you toward someone who does it well.
