EMDR Therapists in Peoria Heights, IL

My therapeutic approach is to provide a supportive and safe environment where problems can be explored and healing can be achieved. I use relationship-based intervention to meet clients where they are and partner together to explore barriers and create solutions to life’s challenges. I also use an attachment-based, trauma-informed lens to look at challenges in the context of a client’s life, relationships, and family of origin.

I look forward in working with you. Of course, I am well versed in typical cognitive/behavioral therapies as well.

"If you always do like you've always done You'll always get what you've always got..." That's just part of a quote attributed to many from Socrates to Einstein and many more.

Life is full of plot twists. It can be helpful to talk to someone outside of your family or friends to get a fresh perspective, new ideas, and objective feedback. Because no one has the same experiences, everyone has unique needs and challenges. Each person also has strengths and survival skills that have allowed him or her to get to this moment. Most people can't see their strengths and skills because they overlook, underestimate, or down play them.
