Trauma Focused Therapists in Moline, IL

I have 30 years experience as a licensed clinician and believe all behavior is communication. Whether it’s a child having meltdowns at school, an angry teenager, or an adult with anxiety – each contains a message that therapy can help decipher. I believe everyone is doing the best they can with the tools they currently have but sometimes that isn’t enough. By collaborating with you, the client, we will look at the bigger picture of things that may be influencing your challenges and make adjustments/learn new tools so that more effective strategies can shine through.

Welcome! Whether it be depression, anxiety, relationship problems, stress, parenting issues, work/life balance, or transitions in life, I am here to assist you and to provide you with a safe space to explore your current issues and challenges in life. I believe in a collaborative therapeutic process, that includes open, honest, non-judgmental, and empathetic interactions. Helping you process, problem solve, work towards solutions, and overcome problems in life are my priorities. I utilize a trauma focused approach that includes empowering you and joining you in this journey to healing, wellness, and improved life satisfaction.

Part of being alive is to experience fear, doubt, depression, and a multitude of events that bring about suffering. Of course, there are varying degrees, as some people are just having trouble adjusting to a circumstance in their life and need a little support in the right direction. For others, the problem may be chronic such as PTSD or depression. Most certainly, the state of American politics and the world today, have raised most people's base level of anxiety or depression.

I take an active, collaborative, holistic approach to therapy which aims to highlight and enhance your own strengths, supports, insight and self awareness. I work primarily with anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, relationship and interpersonal difficulties, grief/loss, and I treat substance use and behavioral or process addictions through a Harm Reduction approach. I enjoy working with clients experiencing spiritual or creative blocks, family or relationship issues, and life transitions. I am specialized in work with clients who wish to work on recovering from traumatic experiences using EMDR or Prolonged Exposure therapy.

Engaging in therapy with me requires honesty and openness. I meet you where you are in each session, tapping into your resilience for transformative change. Empowering clients to gain self-insight, new coping skills, and self-discovery is central to my approach. Progress can be seen in improved sleep, setting boundaries, or simply pausing to breathe deeply. I prefer working with clients willing to be accountable, open-minded, and dedicated to self-connection.

The ideal client for me is someone that wants to learn about themselves and grow. They are someone that may be looking for answers, progress, improvement in their lives, and to learn about themselves. Their goals are what they want and need, and/or them not knowing what they want or need in life.

Navigating today's rapidly and changing complex issues along with our own personal struggles can sometimes feel overwhelming. Having someone who can assist you go deeper into developing an understanding and insight into yourself can quickly help alleviate the anxiety and stress associated those challenges. The past few years has been tough for many of us, and a lot of unexposed and unaddressed issues have come to the surface. Know that you are not alone, and that normalization of those feelings can help you feel better.

Asking for help can be hard and initiating counseling can be difficult. My goal is to provide a warm & welcoming environment and develop a strong partnership to meet goals you have for yourself. Relationships are important for humans - including the relationship with our self. I work from a strength-based approach to empower people to become experts in their own healing & wellness journey. Discovering strengths & capabilities can assist in a deeper understanding of ourselves & our relationships to make necessary changes for improved quality of life.

My priority is you, and what you need to feel successful in your life. I believe in the holistic approach. This allows you to heal by taking all of your life experiences into consideration during the treatment process. Beginning therapy can be scary, and you may find yourself unsure, but you do not have to be. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy. I strongly believe in nonjudgmental therapy, and a trusting relationship. It is a true privilege to work with each of my clients, and I honor the relationships and the trust placed with me.

Much of my work aims to understand the underlying concerns that are causing stressful situations and maladaptive behaviors. Through active listening, empathy, and from a non-judgmental standpoint, my objective is for us to create trust within the therapeutic relationship and to work together; creating both short- and long-term goals, recognizing triggers, and creating positive coping skills to assist you on your journey to healing.

I am continually amazed when people take the courageous step of hoping for change and asking for help with that change. I have been in the helping field for 36 years in various capacities. I have experiences that are rich and varied. I am able to draw upon those experiences to assist those adults, adolescents or couples who are ready to take the plunge! Are you ready to dive in together?

I employ a variety of therapeutic techniques: Traditional "talk" therapy; Art as therapy and Creative/Expressive therapy techniques; I use the client's own perspective to elicit change and growth. As an existential counselor, it is my job to assist clients in giving meaning to their experiences and moving forward to live a meaningful life. My therapeutic approach is successful in addressing all types of mental health / mental illness concerns, especially: trauma, children and adolescents, stage of life concerns, mood disorders and disruptions (stress, depression, anxiety etc.), parenting, and relational issues.

Clients consistently report that I create a calm and safe therapy space that is dynamic with an intuitive, 'down to earth' style balancing being kind and diplomatic, with being quite direct and clear with feedback and tools. I treat a variety of mental health conditions, and additionally offer support and guidance around a vast array of life issues. I am passionate about finding and tailoring what works for YOUR needs. I specialize in anxiety, trauma (including complicated grief), interpersonal issues, and mood disorders. Again, focusing in and utilizing the tools that serve you best.

***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS!*** I consider people to be the experts of their own lives. My role is to assist people by creating a safe and relaxed environment where they are able to grow trust and comfortably identify and work toward their goals. I am here to listen non-judgmentally, pose questions and ideas to foster positive changes to thinking and behavioral patterns, support the growth of healthy relationships, and assist in the improvement of daily functioning, emotional regulation, and the use of healthy coping mechanisms.

Counseling allows individuals to better understand themselves and others, set personal goals, and work toward desired change. Counseling is a collaborative process that involves a confidential and professional relationship between client and therapist. We work objectively to clarify issues, gain insight into thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and to deal effectively with these obstacles in a healthy way.

All of us experience times in our lives when we are overwhelmed, anxious or depressed. These times should not define us. When these times arise, we need someone to listen to everything that is being said as well as hearing what is not being said. The ability to work through these tough times is necessary for all of us with the goal of being stronger as a result.

Life comes with many changes, and sometimes these changes do not always seem to be for the better. During these dark times it can feel like we lack the strength to continue on, or it feels like the path forward is too cloudy to know which way to begin to start walking. However, many people experience depression, sorrow, anxiety, grief, anger, and loss at different points in their lives and the journey through these times do not have to be done alone.
