Therapists in Carlinville, IL

Hello! A little bit about me...I tend to use a myriad of approaches when it comes to counseling, as I recognize that each person may need something different in their experience. I believe that every person is the expert on his/her/their own life, and I am simply another human sitting across from you specially trained to assist, validate, and empower you. I prioritize the creation of a genuine relationship with each client, lending itself to a place of solace and retreat, where clients can find unconditional support, trust, empowerment and solidarity.

Are you experiencing stress, anxiety, trauma, or depression? Do you want to feel better and meet with someone who can hold space and help? I have over a decade worth of experience working with women who are wanting to heal from past hurts and live with more confidence, clarity, and purpose.

Life can often involve a series of setbacks, transitions, difficulties, and challenges that can cause us to feel stuck or lost. My aim is to help clients identify not only what they wish to change or problems they hope to address but also build self-acceptance and self-compassion. I have significant experience working with young adults and college-aged clients but also see adult and adolescent clients. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, identity exploration, grief/loss, or relationship concerns, I will collaborate with you to work towards your goals.

What would you like your life to look like after you have emotionally healed? Maybe you're unsure of what you need, but you know that you want things to be different. I want to assure you that in all of the overwhelming chaos, the challenges that may cause you to feel stuck, broken and defeated, healing is possible. I believe one of the strongest things you can do, is begin to understand your own story, while working towards the life that you desire.

Life can sometimes get pretty messy. This is why whenever you find yourself in emotional pain and hurt –there is hope. Life is difficult and we are not meant to go through this journey alone.

I often work with children, adolescents, and young adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress/adjustment concerns, self-esteem issues, and trauma. I also specialize in helping individuals of all ages cope with the emotional strains that may come with experiencing chronic health conditions. No matter what you are facing in life, times of transition or adjustments in life can be stressful and overwhelming and having someone walk alongside you on your journey can help you unlock your full potential.

Would you like to spring forward to new challenges? Do you want to shed those nagging problems that sap your energy and prevent you from living your life fully? Are you ready to try new challenges? Warm, professional counseling can help you boost your mood, tackle personal problems, conquer bad habits, improve relationships, enhance self-esteem, reduce anxiety, and cope with difficult situations.

Are you experiencing stress, anxiety, feeling down, depressed or feeling like you don't have anyone to talk to? Counseling offers you a time and place to reassess and restore balance to your life. With compassion, empathy and understanding, I will work to encourage and walk with you in order to help aid you with finding balance in your life. I believe one of the most important aspects of therapy is the therapeutic relationship, as it allows you to experience trust and to feel comfortable exploring your life.

Do you feel alone? We all go through challenges in life: relationship problems, grief, confusion, stress, depression, addiction, self-doubt - and when we struggle it is easy to feel alone. As a counselor it is my priority to help you feel valued and supported. I strive to create a comfortable, inviting space where you will feel safe to vent, be heard, and grow in your self-awareness.

My area of focus is adults looking to improve their mental health. I have a passion for individuals dealing with post-traumatic stress, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and other issues.

I offer HIPPA compliant telehealth sessions throughout the states of Missouri and Illinois. A favorite quote of mine is from George Eliot: "What do we live for, if not to make life less difficult for each other?" Sometimes we all need a little help. I know it's not easy to ask for help. When you're ready, I'm here to help you navigate through the challenges in your life and build upon your strengths. Issues we can address in counseling include anxiety, depression, grief and loss, codependency, chronic physical illness, chronic mental illness, anger management, life transitions, and stress management.

My ideal client would be someone who is struggling to manage anxiety and depression, someone who is struggling with low self-esteem, and who is struggling with life changes and stress management. My ideal client would need a counselor who is going to provide them with coping skills to manage their symptoms and a counselor who is going to give them multiple options to see what works for them. My ideal client would want a counselor who is honest, trustworthy, and transparent.
