Couples Counseling Therapists in Champaign, IL
I have counseled couples and families in family dynamics and structure as they navigate different stages of life, and individuals on how to navigate co-parenting.
I am a native of Urbana, IL. I earned a Bachelor degree in Biblical Studies with a focus in Pastoral Counseling from SUM Bible College and Theological Seminary, and a Master degree in Social Work from the University of Illinois. While working with at-risk youth, I began to find interest in their journey and valued creating a space where they could share. I became interested in learning more about counseling and supporting others with developing tools for success. I value the opportunity to walk with clients as they share their journeys. I have a relational approach combined with a solution-based focus.

Waitlist for new clients
I provide attachment focused trauma and sex therapy to queer people, trans people, non-monogamous and polyamorous people, sex workers, and kinky people. I love working through attachment repair work with people who have felt like they are "too much" or "not enough". Many of my clients resonate with experiencing "big emotions" or have a history of feeling misunderstood in romantic or sexual relationships. I also often work with individuals and couples who are aiming to unpack sexual shame, who are experiencing pain with sex, or who are navigating desire discrepancy.

Clients can expect me to balance compassion, humor, and radical empathy within the therapeutic relationship.
Life's most challenging moments can cause distress, discomfort, uncertainty, and stagnation. However, with support, these challenges can also lead to self-reflection, growth, and change. I work with adolescents and adults that are seeking support while they navigate difficult life transitions, heal from trauma, explore identity, or live with depression, anxiety, and family conflict among other challenges. It is my hope that we can work together to identify patterns in your life that no longer serve you, develop realistic and values-guided coping skills, and foster deeper connections with yourself and with those around you.
