Relationship Issues Therapists in Effingham, IL

It can feel difficult trying to figure out why our relationship with our partner is struggling. Not only is it difficult to see the root of the problem but it is also difficult being on the same page to try to find a solution to the problem. Maybe you are arguing over the smallest things and blowing it up into something much larger than you expected it to. Maybe you feel emotionally disconnected from your partner and you don’t know how to relight that spark. Maybe you find yourself not knowing what to talk to your partner about.

Here at LifeThrive Counseling we believe you can unlock your full potential. We believe in focusing on the whole person, not just the person's symptoms. We believe sometimes we need need to look outside of the box at more advanced treatments. When adding these treatments, true change can occur in disorders that are often thought of as permanent or treatment resistant. Some of the disorders we have worked with and seen positive change in include: ADHD, anxiety, dysthymia, major depressive disorder, autism spectrum disorders, attachment disorders, OCD, personality disorders, and more.

I am passionate about helping empower my clients effect change in their lives, as well as working with individuals who have struggled to be successful with other therapists. Change is possible, and I aim to provide access quality to mental healthcare service to those looking for healing and personal growth. I believe we stay stuck in patterns, until we become aware of how histories impact our present day functioning, and opt to make changes.
