Infidelity Therapists in Crystal Lake, IL

All relationships have chaotic or lonely times where you may feel incapable of approaching each other. Couples need a place to turn when they don't know what to do or have no support system. I help couples stuck in conflict gridlock begin to reengage with each other. I specialize in working with couples who experience: high levels of conflict; inability to communicate; emotional & physical distance or disengagement; infidelity ; transitioning to parenthood; infertility/pregnancy loss; difficulty overcoming family of origin or cultural differences; and difficulty making the decision to divorce or separate.

All people have THAT moment. The big one, where we question if we are with the right person. We find ourselves loving someone, but falling into a pattern that we can't find our way out of. Communication, betrayals, falling out of sync, the fights that lead nowhere, someone shutting down, lack of emotional or physical intimacy, or not seeing eye to eye on important issues are all reasons people can benefit from an intensive look into their relationship. You want your person to be "your" person again. To love openly with affection, but also with the ability to resolve conflicts is what I wish for each couple I work with.

My job, as I see it, is not to fix you, but to help you fix yourself. To do that, I help you find the tools you already have and remind you that - on some deep level - you already know how to use them. My approach is cognitive, because I believe the way we think about our lives helps create them.

My specialization is focused on DBT and ACT, empowering, empirically based psychotherapy approaches that assist clients of all ages in meeting therapeutic goals in ways that are tangible and measurable while validating the client experience. DBT recognizes emotion as a valid response to experience, perceived or otherwise, with a focus on the development of skills that improve function and well-being. DBT skills include Mindfulness; Emotion Regulation; Distress Tolerance; and Interpersonal Effectiveness. ACT focuses on increasing mental flexibility and resilience through acceptance, mindfulness, and behavior-change strategies.

Our life's work is helping clients achieve a better sense of self and happiness...more recently we've recognized that without good mental health providers finding this balance in life can be more difficult and stressful. As a result, we tend toward and Integrative approach and have our clients transform into the people they want to be. We see each client as an individual with many parts to their identity. Utilizing a holistic and systemic approach we help clients reintegrate the parts of themselves to function better as individuals and within their systems. Our focus tends toward a systems-based approach using behavior methods.

Are there certain aspects of your life that you wish could be different or obstacles that are deterring you on your path? Are you offering the best version of yourself in your relationship with others? Do you ever question what it would mean to embrace the "real you"? We all have our own course to walk in this unique journey called life. But we also have the potential to change our direction at any time. The direction is determined by how we perceive our journey, and by the choices that we make as a result of those perceptions. Once we understand this concept, the potential for change becomes limitless!

I have over 15 years of experience in the behavioral health field working with a variety of presenting problems and concerns, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, grief, substance use and abuse as well as other behavior changes. I have an eclectic style of counseling, drawing upon Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused therapy, Person-Centered, and Cognitive Behavioral therapy in order to see how thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected and affect our daily lives.

Life is hard but harder when we deny that fact. We get "stuck", unmotivated, we give up. My practice is "real", it's comfortable and down to earth. It is a safe place free from judgement or criticism. You will be heard and validated and in that there will be growth and change You will find freedom from whatever is keeping you from being the person you want to be, from whatever is keeping you from experiencing the fullness of life. It's all about you. Let's get you out of your head and into living. If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.” -Maya Angelo

Life is messy. That’s the motto I adopted a few years ago to remind myself that there is no such thing as perfect and rarely does everything go according to plan. My journey has taken me through a variety of messes…divorce, single parenting, job changes, remarriage and the blending of families, just to name a few. Although this isn’t the path that I planned to take, I am thankful for each step because of the healing and growth that accompanied it and ultimately led me to pursue my master’s degree in family and marriage therapy.

We all cope with anger, grief, stress, disappointment & trauma differently. I understand firsthand how generational family dysfunction & toxic environments impact everyone involved. Some are able to thrive while others feel stuck. My greatest passion is empowering people to tap into their strengths and learning new ways to utilize hidden strengths, as well as new coping strategies that may be helpful to managing life, as well as care for self and those important to you. As a member of Thriving Sparrow Counseling in Crystal Lake, Illinois, it’s my pleasure to provide a safe space to explore your story and experiences.

I provide non-blaming, non-judgmental, and collaborative counseling services to individuals and couples whose lives have been ripped apart due to loss/grief, relational conflict, and shattered dreams. Unresolved pain and fear from "doin' life" fuels anger and addictive behaviors that destroy relationships and turn life into a cardboard dirt sandwich with a side of sawdust. I help people separate themselves (and their friends and family) from the problems plaguing their life, allowing them to externalize their issues rather than internalize them.

Have you been to counseling before but want more than just talking things out? Would you like to bring your spirituality to counseling as a simpler, easier way to become free from painful feelings and relationships? In this counseling approach you not only find a safe place to be heard and work through problems, but you also find ways to change troubling patterns from the inside out. Through powerful yet gentle methods alongside inner prayer/ intention, you can resolve the root causes of personal problems like anxiety, loss, feeling stuck, depression, relationship difficulties, lack of meaning or purpose, trauma & addiction.
