Parenting Therapists in Fairview Heights, IL

Hi there! I'm a therapist with a certified specialty in perinatal mental health. I utilize holistic and innovative methods to treat life's common (and some not so common) speed-bumps - the ones that usually leave us feeling like we're trapped in frustrating cycles or tapped out energetically. My life's work and passion is all about holding space for clients who are ready to own their stories and transform their lives. I aim to work with individuals who are ready to become empowered to make a return to their most authentic self! If you are looking for a counselor who is creative, non-judgmental & laid back, we may be a great fit.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. CALL OR TEXT FOR AN APPOINTMENT. I offer flexible hours and texting for convenience or scheduling appointments. Contact me for personalized therapy for individuals (adults and teens) experiencing depression and anxiety, school and job related stressors, and job displacement. I also offer premarital and marital counseling for couples who aim to improve communication and conflict resolution skills.

Every person has a story that is made up of thoughts, actions, and major events that have shaped them into who they are today. However, some chapters of our story include unpleasant experiences, emotions, and memories that still cause us suffering today. I want you to know that you don't have to feel alone anymore. If you have experienced complex trauma, suffer from low self-esteem/self-worth, or struggle with setting healthy boundaries, I am the Therapist for you! I want to learn everything about your story, help you heal, give you the support that you've always desired, and make you finding happiness my top priority!

"Holler if you hear me." Rap legend, Tupac Shakur, pled for the world to signal back to him that his thoughts, feelings and experiences were being heard. To verify that he was not crazy or out of control. So many of us have been silenced, taught to bury our truths and to hide from ourselves. Such practices develop mental, emotional and physical illnesses that then impact generations to come. People need a safe place to release, to connect and to explore the depths of which they were taught not to venture. No matter the age or magnitude of issues, it is vital for you to speak your mind and for empathy to be returned.

Each of us experience a unique journey in life. Our life journey presents many challenges and obstacles. At times it is difficult to face this journey alone, especially when you don't have a support system. Therapy is a safe environment for addressing the challenges in life that seem unmanageable. A healthy therapeutic relationship based on genuine acceptance and unconditional positive regard can promote positive change. My goal is to empower you to take charge of your life, discover your purpose, and begin living a life in which you are emotionally, spiritually, and physically healthy. Taking new clients March 1

I believe that my clients have the ability to live an active and productive life on all levels. I focus on providing a non-judgmental and empathic experience for my clients.

I believe that with supportive, directional therapy, all people can succeed and be effective in their daily life.

All of us encounter struggles as we meet the daily challenges in our lives. From time to time our journey seems to change direction, go backwards, or even stop. Often, we don't know what to do or where to start. All we really need is someone to help us understand where we are, and where we want to go. Talking to a therapist can help you rediscover your journey, overcome personal issues, and work towards emotional health and well-being. Allow me to assist you on your journey, as you become the person you want to be.

You had an affair. It's something you thought you'd never do, and now you're left in a state of pain and confusion. Why did I do that? How could I do it? What did it mean? What was I looking for? Or maybe it was your partner who had an affair, and now you're left in a state of deep hurt, anxiety, anger or disgust. How could this happen? How do we move on? How can I ever learn how to trust them again? Why me? The pain from infidelity can be very intense and doesn't easily dissipate. Trying to navigate the waters alone can feel even more unbearable, and you're looking for somebody to help keep you afloat.

Children and adolescents experience a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, difficulty regulating emotions, and challenges with impulse control. These issues make it difficult to deal with unfortunate but common factors, like family or sibling conflict, parental divorce, or unexpected loss.
