Heartland Wellness Center’s Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers structured, meaningful support while allowing participants to maintain their daily routines. Located in Northwest Indiana, our program helps individuals continue their journey toward recovery while balancing personal and professional responsibilities. We meet people where they are, providing guidance in a way that feels safe, accessible, and rooted in genuine care.
An Intensive Outpatient Program bridges the gap between inpatient treatment and traditional outpatient therapy. It provides structured treatment sessions multiple times per week, focusing on mental health, substance use, or dual diagnoses. IOP allows individuals to practice new skills in real time while maintaining the stability of home, work, and community—an approach that often supports long-term success.
IOP is especially valuable for those who want consistent support while staying connected to their community and daily environment.
Heartland Wellness Center offers personalized care tailored to your unique needs. We believe people matter, and our dedicated team takes the time to understand each individual’s story. Through a holistic, compassionate approach, we help participants build a foundation for lasting recovery while connecting them with supportive resources in the community.
Recovery begins with a single step—one that does not have to be taken alone.

I grew up in a family deeply affected by addiction. My stepfather died by suicide after a long struggle with alcoholism, and my father has battled addiction throughout my life. These experiences inspired me to support others facing similar challenges.
As an EMT in emergency healthcare, I often worked with individuals experiencing the same struggles my family endured. These encounters strengthened my commitment to helping those impacted by substance use disorders and their loved ones.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in biomedical science with a minor in Ethics from Bradley University, where I also developed a strong interest in comparative religious studies. I’m currently pursuing my Clinical Addiction Associate License and will earn it upon graduation from Purdue Global University.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), with a focus on holistic healing through spirituality and mindfulness. My background in biomedical science informs my understanding of addiction as a disease affecting both mind and body.
I live by and teach the principles of radical empathy and acceptance for all clients. I believe Heartland is a space where individuals can safely express vulnerability and learn how to carry that openness into the world. I am deeply passionate about recovery as a journey of healing, not just for the individual, but for the entire family unit.
