Hi I'm Amy. I provide a warm and comforting space for my clients. I have 20 years of professional experience as a counselor and supervisor in various roles and settings. I enjoy working alongside of adults, families, and children by offering trauma informed support.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you felt prepared to deal with the stress of everyday life, traumatic experiences, or symptoms of depression and anxiety? It may seem like you have tried everything to take control back and don't know what else to do. You may feel like you struggle in every area of your life. It feels overwhelming, scary, lonely, and even hopeless at times.

Those who come to me for therapy are ready to try something different, and experience an authentic relationship with a therapist who is down to earth, warm and seriously appreciates humor. Through our therapeutic relationship you can begin noticing and reducing problematic trauma responses and process past experiences and cycles that are hindering the life you want to enjoy. My clients gain skills relationally to benefit the relationships they are already in and challenge themselves to build new healthy ones.

I love getting to know a person and their unique story and coming alongside in their journey towards holistic wellness. In the counseling room I work best with a warm person-centered style, a strengths-based approach, creativity, and trauma-informed. I use not just talk therapy, but also art therapy and somatic approaches. If this sounds like something that you'd be interested in, I may be a good fit for you!

I meet the clients where they are and get to know them and their strengths. My approach is trauma-focused and evidence-based therapy but I believe in empowering the clients.

It seems like everyone else’s child has it all together and you feel scared and alone. It feels like the situation is never going to get better and you worry constantly about the future of your child. You never thought you would be in this place and you can’t seem to find your way out. All you want to do is help your child. As a parent, one of the most difficult tasks we face is to watch our children and teens struggle. Parenting an adolescent who is struggling with anxiety, depression or behavior can you leave feeling like you failed.

As a therapist, I can assist you to better understand the connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. With this new insight, you can identify problematic ones and challenge, replace, or reframe them. The path to change starts with identifying your underlying needs and finding more effective ways to fulfill them. I work with adolescents, teens and adults from diverse backgrounds. I am specialized in treating anxiety, depression, life transitions, low self-esteem and grief with children, teens and young adults.

I specialize in helping adults heal from recent and past abuse, neglect, marginalization, and other painful experiences. I understand how these experiences cause wounds that impact relationships, work, and happiness, and are often the root cause of anxiety and depression. Together we create lasting change by lessening the impact of current symptoms such as anxiety and depression, while developing a deeper understanding of the root causes of each person’s struggles. I seek to understand each person’s experiences and the effect they have on their lives, past and present.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I strongly believe therapy is an important asset in life where one is able to talk about life challenges and work on solutions that allow individuals to be the best version of themselves. My goal is to create a natural experience by nurturing a safe and welcoming environment, establishing trusting relationships, and promoting a judgement free zone where one can express themselves freely, overcome their challenges, and find balance in their lives. I believe in the philosophy “give yourself space to evolve” (Krista Aoki).

I provide a warm space with unconditional positive regard. I use trauma informed interventions to help support my clients through complex experiences.

Navigating through a neurotypical world can be exhausting, confusing, and frustrating, especially for neurodiverse individuals. If you’re here reading this, you’re most likely hoping to connect with a therapist who “gets it.” As a neurodivergent therapist, I get it. In my practice, I am dedicated to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where my clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. By using a person-centered approach to therapy, I help my clients connect with their inner selves and find the strength and courage to overcome their challenges.

Creating a safe and nurturing space amid life's challenges is vital for healing and growth. I understand that seeking therapy can be daunting, especially when societal stigma or personal experiences hinder asking for help. My aim is to break down these barriers and offer a sanctuary where individuals feel understood, accepted, and empowered to embark on their journey towards well-being. With over a decade of experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, I've had the privilege of supporting teens and adults facing diverse challenges.

Welcome to your journey of self-discovery and growth! I'm passionate about guiding you on a journey of self-exploration and overcoming challenges. I offer a safe, trusting, and supportive environment creating space for genuine self-exploration and positive change. I believe true healing occurs when we can openly and authentically explore our thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. I specialize working with children and young adults in therapy for self-esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and multicultural and identity concerns.

Are you feeling out of control, overwhelmed, or unable to handle life's typical stressors? Has something really challenging or upsetting happened that is causing an inability to manage everyday life? Stress, transition and loss can cause low self esteem, difficulty in relationships, and feelings of being unable to manage day to day life. I aim to provide a safe space in which to process those stressors and learn to manage them in a healthy way.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Illinois and have 20+ years' experience working with adolescents, college students, adults, and families providing outpatient individual and group therapy. I have worked extensively in both community mental health outpatient environments and group private practice settings. I have my Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Social Work, both from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, IL.

I believe we all have the capacity to change and grow. Therapy offers a safe, supportive space to develop awareness and understanding of life experiences and provides guidance in facing the changes and challenges that can become overwhelming in our lives. It’s during these times that we can feel alone, misunderstood, and overwhelmed. I would be happy to partner with you to discover new strategies for healthy coping, challenge patterns of negative beliefs and behaviors, increase healthy relationships, and discover your strengths. I can help to provide support and resources that will lead to personal growth and fulfillment in life.

I am ready to listen, and here to help. Let's navigate this journey together. I offer sessions in the evenings and on weekends.

Those challenges may have led to stress, anxiety and depression or a combination of the three. I lead with an empathetic attitude that supports you in developing, prioritizing, and using coping skills and goals that will assist through your life changes
