Attachment-based Therapists in Peoria, IL
As a therapist, I work from a relational model that considers both individual and systematic aspects of life to create a better understanding of what is brought into session. In collaboration, I'm a firm believer in showing up authentically as a queer/neurodiverse therapist and welcome clients to do the same as we work together. Therapy is work, but it's not something you have to do alone.

I specialize in helping people sense into what is beneath the surface to better understand what is driving the problems they haven’t been able to solve. Perhaps you've been unable to make progress on a goal, feel stuck in unfulfilling relationships, or can recognize recurring patterns in your life. You may be trying to disrupt intergenerational cycles of abuse of simply wanting to connect more deeply with your family and loved ones. I work with people who are establishing healthier behaviors in their life, coping with grief or trauma, exploring changes during the perinatal period, or seeking more fulfillment in their relationships.

Feeling like your relationship is on the rocks? Maybe you’re stuck in the same old arguments, feeling miles apart even when you’re right next to each other, or trying to pick up the pieces after a trust-shattering betrayal. The frustration, confusion, and heartache can feel overwhelming, leaving you wondering if things will ever get better. I get it—relationships can be messy, complicated, and sometimes exhausting when things aren’t going smoothly. It’s easy to feel lost or isolated in these moments. But here’s the thing: you don’t have to go through this alone.

Life is full of plot twists. It can be helpful to talk to someone outside of your family or friends to get a fresh perspective, new ideas, and objective feedback. Because no one has the same experiences, everyone has unique needs and challenges. Each person also has strengths and survival skills that have allowed him or her to get to this moment. Most people can't see their strengths and skills because they overlook, underestimate, or down play them.

We all want to be happy and feel hopeful about the future, but sometimes life's stressors can make it quite challenging. Therapy can help. I work with clients to teach them healthy coping and how to change their perspective. A new way of thinking can truly make a significant impact on how a person feels. I am trained in EMDR therapy, a powerful treatment for trauma and PTSD. I graduated from Bradley University with a masters degree in Human Development Counseling and have over 10 years experience providing therapy.
