Couples Counseling Therapists in Champaign, IL
Some of the theories I draw from include solution- focused therapy, the Gottman method ( couples), dialectical behavior therapy, trauma informed therapy, and multicultural counseling.
Sometimes life can seem overwhelming- whether we are held back by things in our past, experiencing present obstacles, or anxious about things to come. I am passionate about supporting others in overcoming life’s difficulties to reach their goals. I view therapy as a collaborative relationship between therapist and client. I value creating a safe and accepting environment where clients feel comfortable being their authentic selves. I have experience working with clients on a variety of presenting concerns- some of which include depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, interpersonal issues, mood regulation, and stressful life adjustments.

I operate from a strength-based perspective. I believe that people have innate strengths and skills that can be accessed and applied in times of challenges and transitions. It is my belief that the process of therapy/counseling involves the discovery or rediscovery of one's core sense of self in the world. I do not ascribe to the cookie cutter method of treatment. In other words, the methods and interventions are tailored to fit the individual rather than the other way around. Therapy is seen as a collaborative process

Life is full of transitions and they can be extremely difficult. It can be easy to feel overwhelmed, discouraged and like nothing will ever get better. Even when the transition is your choice - like a new job, going back to school or having a baby, it can feel like you will never settle into a new normal. That can be even more challenging when the transition is not your choice - like divorce, chronic illness, struggling with infertility, or trauma and loss. Transition can be even more overwhelming when it feels like you are going through it alone and don't have any support.

From time to time, everyone has struggles in life, whether it's adjusting to loss or transitions, coping with problems in relationships, or with balancing the demands of daily life. Though it can really help to talk things over with a professional counselor, sometimes people hesitate, fearing the possibility of being judged or not understood. I believe that providing a safe, trusting, and nonjudgmental environment is one of the most important elements of good therapy, an element that allows positive change to occur.
