Using a personal, integrated approach I would be honored to meet with you, your child or family to create a treatment plan that would draw from my knowledge of "parts" work, play therapy, a specific type of cognitive behavioral therapy called Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), the interventions named above and others.
Pain. It finds us. Whether it's the result of the loss of love, health, or security, pain finds us, and it can be overwhelming. Licensed in Illinois and Missouri, I offer support to hurting children, adults, and families by providing emotional safety, sharing compassion, and helping my clients to learn and apply new skills as needed. Passionate about issues that have resulted from attachment and relational wounding I have specialized in treating issues of attachment and trauma.

My experience includes treating depression, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, life transitions, relationship and family issues, self-esteem, anger management, stress management, interpersonal conflict, and career planning.
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.

You’re struggling to keep afloat in the deep, seemingly unending pool of emotions. From the outside, things look good or at least “fine.” However, inside it is anything but fine. You feel alone, misunderstood, depressed, anxious, and struggle with these intense emotions. Sometimes the emotions quickly change and other times you feel like you are stuck . You want someone to understand and know that this pain is so real, so heavy. You want some relief from the mood swings, anxiety, loneliness, and ongoing confusion that you feel about yourself and your relationships.

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.

Building trust opens avenues for involving close ones in the healing process, improving family dynamics.
As a school social worker specializing in children and pre-adolescent youth, I create a safe environment using sports and arts/crafts, meeting clients where they are. Understanding the need for a secure outlet, I draw from my background as a foster care placement worker, addressing trauma, the foster care system, and contemporary stressors. My approach emphasizes empowering youth early on, fostering higher self-esteem and a positive outlook.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
