Waitlist for new clients
There is no correct or easy path through trauma and the problems it creates in our lives. It is true when they say that the “only way out is through.” As someone who personally and professionally has experience with trauma, I am able to therapeutically guide individuals through the healing process without judgment. I want others to know it's okay to feel their feelings and that sometimes we need a little help to feel safe doing so. Therapy should be a space that you can create with your therapist, as all of us define safety and comfort in different ways.

My ideal client is anyone who feels brave and willing enough to take the journey into self-discovery. Regardless of their issues clients need to know and experience positive regard, attentive listening and judgement free interactions. Clients need to feel that their concerns or needs can be met by a clinical professional. The goals of any client would come from collaboration and would hopefully be deemed realistic, worthwhile and attainable.

Licensed in IL and IA. I often feel lonely in a crowd, even in a crowd of my friends. I often feel like nothing I do will be good enough. When I walk into a room, I often try to avoid eye contact for fear that I will be seen, yet all I really want is for someone to see me. Does this describe you? If so, you are not alone. Lots of people feel this way, especially those who have experienced difficult childhoods. No matter how successful you may appear on the outside, it's hard to shake the "I'm not good enough" feeling.

Life is challenging and the unexpected happens. Issues from the past often play a role in the choices we make. We tend to repeat patterns, often unconsciously, which may no longer be helpful in our effort to move forward.

Many of us lead busy lives with little space to breathe, think, and make choices with clarity. We hold ourselves to unsustainable standards in our careers, relationships and as individuals. We move from day to day with anxious thoughts, or float numbly with disconnection and over-scheduling as a way to avoid pain. Often our expectations, goals and circumstances come at the expense of our own healthy well being.
