Therapists in Bloomington, IL
Tired of sitting on a couch and talking in circles? Me too. Let’s move (literally) while we heal. I specialize in trauma therapy and EMDR, and I see clients at CrossFit Influence in Wapella. Yes, it’s inside a gym. No, this is not CrossFit. It’s simply therapy in a movement-friendly space, where we can walk or gently move while we process. Trauma isn’t just a story in your head — it’s stored in your nervous system. Sometimes movement helps things shift in a way that sitting still can’t. We go at your pace. Some days we sit. Some days we move. Either way, we're helping your brain and body finally feel safe again.

As a trauma-informed therapist and practice owner, I specialize in helping individuals navigate the impact of their trauma, especially family and childhood trauma/abuse, anxiety, and major life adjustments.

Many individuals and families have been through very difficult circumstances, including trauma. We often do not have a choice about the circumstances we face, but we can heal from these experiences and even turn them into opportunities for growth.

Do you feel overwhelmed with bouts of depression or anxiety? I can help you. Together, we can unlock old patterns of thinking that may have left you feeling trapped or stuck through mindfulness based CBT which focuses on changing your relationship with negative emotions. Mindfulness allows one to become more cognitive of their immediate reaction to unsettling thoughts and emotions. In doing so, this allows one to employ skills to redefine that experience and promote self-love, compassion, and growth. I believe everyone is capable of finding joy, peace and fulfillment in their lives.
