For some of us our internal dialogue with ourselves could be described as anything but kind. We can be critical, self-deprecating, or devaluing of our experience due to past traumas that have informed a part of who we are, shame or guilt associated with our identity, or fear of experiencing ourselves as selfish. At times we can be so angry with ourselves for feeling that we are trapped in a cycle of attempting to do enough for others to finally have permission to be ourselves. This anger can give way to burn out, isolation, depression, and resignation. It can feel impossible to break out of that space.

My ideal client is someone navigating life's overwhelming demands, much like I've experienced myself. They might feel misunderstood, struggling to express emotions and communicate their needs effectively. I envision working with individuals or couples facing issues with depression, anxiety, or relationship challenges. They seek guidance to understand themselves better, manage their mental health, and improve communication for a more balanced life. Their goal, much like mine, is to achieve mental and emotional wellness, nurture healthier relationships, and gain empowerment in navigating life's complexities.

I have created a supportive environment that services clients that struggle with all facets of eating disorders that include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and emotional eating while addressing the mood components that occur along side disordered eating from a self-regulatory position. When struggling with disordered eating it is difficult to find treatment that will fit your needs wherever you are on your journey. If you are new to treatment, continuing on your treatment journey or if you have recently been discharged from treatment I offer individual and group services to meet you where you are at.

Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change."- Jim Rohn. People seek counseling when their emotional pain becomes too much to bear on their own and they want to be free of it. How we deal with life's pain defines who we are. While we don't choose to undergo misfortune, we do decide how we react to those events. I have found that negative experiences can also trigger something positive within us. Crisis offers opportunity for change, and pain can be the catalyst for transformation.

Conflict with your partner or spouse? Unproductive communication? Recurrent episodes of anxiety or depressed mood? Overconsumption of alcohol and/or substances in an attempt to self medicate against your out of control emotions? These and many other mental health challenges are both treatable and resolvable. In my 35+ years as a therapist to residents of the greater Fox Valley area I have observed that most of my clients choose therapy when they have utilized and exhausted all coping tools and problem solving strategies. As therapist it is my role to facilitate the increase of both coping tools and problem solving skills.
