Child Therapists in Waterloo, IL
I currently work with children (8 & older), adolescences, adults, and families with specialization in anger, anxiety, bipolar, depression, post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), relationship issues, and substance use.
My therapeutic approach varies with each individual and I believe it is my responsibility to provide clients with a foundation to make them feel in control of their personal situation(s). Every individual has their own story to tell and it is my personal goal to help clients identify their personal strengths, heal, learn skills to deal with stressful situations, and build upon their foundation.

Seeking change in your life can be an immense challenge, one that not many people choose to take on. Choosing to begin counseling can be an intimidating, frightening, and anxiety producing experience. From the moment you walk in to my office, I strive to provide you with a compassionate and understanding environment, where you feel safe to work through issues at your own pace.

Do you find yourself struggling with something you feel like no one else will understand, or perhaps there is no one you can confide in for fear of being judged? Keeping things bottled up creates interpersonal conflict, affects our relationships, and hinders the ability to change. I believe that individuals want to be heard and understood, all the while respecting their unique differences.

Often times life can get tough. It can affect you, your marriage/relationship, your family, your children, your ability to parent, your self-worth, and more than anything, your ability to overcome any obstacles you are facing. I believe within each of us we have the strength to overcome the impossible. Out of pain comes something stronger, better, and the ability to thrive. I believe you already have the answers you seek and you contain the ability to change the worst circumstances. Sometimes our paths are hidden by everything weighing us down, which can make us feel overwhelmed. This can prevent us from seeing a way out...
