Therapists in Plainfield, IL
When your child or teen needs support it's important to find the right fit for them. They need to be comfortable with a therapist and you as a caregiver should feel confident with that provider as well. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults on a variety of issues they may be struggling with. Depression, family or marital stress, behavioral issues, lack of motivation or school refusal, healthy relationships, excessive anxiety and self-esteem are common struggles people may tackle through therapy. Additionally, I work with the LGBTQ community including teens with gender identity issues.

I work primarily with adolescents (ages 10-25), marriages, and men's issues. I currently supervise a team of therapists through Unbroken Family Counseling. I work within this team and, when necessary, work with schools, psychiatrists, and other community resources to help my clients. My ideal client is a teen who doesn't think he/she needs counseling, a marriage that is on the rocks, or a guy dealing with guy stuff (guys know what I'm talking about). If I cant help you I can help find someone who can.

An ideal client is ready to find practical solutions to their issues. They may not necessarily want to spend a lot of time delving deeply into past traumas/root causes but are more interested in useful strategies that can bring about positive change in their present & future. They experience challenges with life transitions, anxiety or depression, with decisions or feeling stuck, & a desire for personal growth. They need clear & goal-oriented guidance with actionable steps & brief interventions. Concrete gains, resolution of specific challenges, & visualizing a preferred future are key goals.

You get complimented on having it together and doing it all so well. People say you make it look easy; but if they only knew how you really feel. To you, life feels chaotic. In spite of appearing to do it all seemingly well, it feels as though you’re failing or barely keeping up. You’re being pulled in multiple directions, it’s hard to prioritize. You don’t want to let others down, but the thought of doing one more thing causes you to panic. You oscillate between needing to do or control everything and wishing you could walk away to get the break you desperately need.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative space for individuals to gain insight and coping skills that best suit their journey of self-growth. My goal is to provide a non-judgemental, safe, and supportive environment for individuals to become empowered and overcome personal obstacles. I believe that counseling can be compared to the metaphor of how a flower grows. You are the seed, and counseling is the soil and water. The seed already knows exactly how to grow and blossom into a beautiful flower – but it's also important for the seed to have the right type of environment to grow and prosper in.
