Relationship Issues Therapists in Monticello, IL

We strive for happiness and avoid discomfort. I am passionate about helping you with your discomfort using various theraputic methods to find your happier place. Working in a private practice allows me to utilize many techniques of counseling and psychotherapy. Clinically, I adapt a treatment approach based on client goals or goals we set together. I believe one's life story as it relates to his or her behavior is a fascinating self-exploration exercise that everyone should have the chance to experience - especially given the fact that understanding self is imperative to acceptance and/or change.

Hi! I’m a licensed therapist with over 6 years of experience helping individuals with issues such as anxiety, depression, women's issues, relationship issues, addiction, ADHD, stress, and more.

I specialize in perinatal (pregnancy, birth, and postpartum) & parental mental health and have spent more than a decade serving families in the Champaign-Urbana area. I rely on honesty and authenticity in my work and believe that a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship is essential. Allow me to hold space for you as you navigate the growth of your family, starting wherever you are in the process. I create a warm and encouraging space to discuss the challenges, fears, grief, and joy of parenting, from pregnancy through postpartum, and beyond.

I work with children, teens, and adults with life issues such as trauma, anxiety, anger, self-harm, and relationship issues.

With a focus on fostering resilience and emotional well-being, I am committed to tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each client, regardless of age.
