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.

Also, while I recognize and understand that everyone's experience are different, I am able to empathize, as I too belong to the LGBT+ community.

Stress, change, and loss are a part of our lives. We often have the resilience to handle our emotions and problems, but it is good to have help when you need it. If you are experiencing an increase in anxiety, sadness, hopelessness, or past memories that intrude on your life, you can use mindful and evidence-based strategies to help yourself. Counseling can help you acquire skills that are tailored to your preferences, needs, and learning style.

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.

Parenting is so tough! Children face so many obstacles and sometimes we just don't know how to help them. It can feel like we've tried everything. When children are struggling they often act out behaviorally; or sometimes it shows up as stomach aches or problems sleeping. Allowing your child to come to therapy can give them the opportunity to learn more about themselves, their thoughts, and their feelings. Working with a therapist can also provide you, as the parent, the support that you're looking for. We can all work together to help your child realize how amazing they really are and be more successful in their daily lives.

It has been my honor to serve Central Illinois for over 15 years with a broad experience in working with patients through mental health concerns, relationship issues, infidelity and marriage issues, brokenness and low self-worth, behavioral issues, addiction recovery, and gay, lesbian and transgender issues, and much more.
Life can be hard, painful, confusing, scary, and challenging. Events happen that leave us reeling with brokenness, grief, disbelief, guilt, fear, insecurity, and shame. We don't know what to do or which way to turn or how we got here in the first place. We may hold onto false beliefs about our self-worth, negative thoughts that tear us apart, relationships that are toxic, and behaviors that are destructive. All in an attempt to somehow alleviate how we are feeling. I am here to partner with you in working towards wholeness and healing and to empower you to move forward, happily and confidently.

I have seen positive, long lasting results using a holistic approach with such issues as anxiety, depression, abuse issues, traumatic events, relational issues, parenting issues, childhood issues, grief and loss, personality disorders, women's issues, and marriage and family dynamics.
My philosophy towards therapy and, being a therapist,can be put this way.You can create positive change in your life. You can overcome difficult and even seemingly overwhelming obstacles. The first step is to believe that you are worthy of a better life no matter what the present situation tells you. The next step is to accept that, 'Life is a Journey'. I think there is incredible wisdom and hope in those words; a journey is on-going, and, life gives you opportunities to change as you choose! Sometimes we just need a little help figuring out how to start.

Marriage Counseling Therapists
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
