Therapists in Peoria County, IL

I focus on assessing and addressing all of the areas in ones life, emotional, spiritual, education, career, relationships, that may benefit from healing or goal setting.

We all experience difficult times in our life, whether the difficulty is trauma from your past, relationship issues, stress or feeling overwhelmed. Those difficult times may bring sadness, hurt, anxiety, loneliness or anger. I can help you let go and work through those behaviors and patterns that no longer serve a purpose for you. I will strive to help you gain insight, clarity and acceptance in your life. Counseling can help you create the life you desire and deserve. It takes courage to take the first step to become an even better version of you!

People seek counseling for a variety of reasons: to address difficult thoughts, painful emotions, grief and loss, relationship conflicts, parenting issues, gender identity, sexuality, stress, anger, compromised self-esteem, low motivation, trauma, habits, addictions, and more. Sometimes we seek counsel because we are ready to make changes in our lives and we want support and feedback for the journey. Finding a good counselor can make all the difference. I invite you to take that first step. Come in and let's see what we can do together to help you find peace, understanding, clarity, direction, healing, wholeness, and health.

I believe counseling is a collaborative process that's rooted in a supportive, therapeutic relationship. I focus on creating a sense of safety and trust that allows for exploration of vulnerabilities, recognition of strengths/weaknesses, and increasing insight into your patterns of thinking and behavior. I bring an individualized, eclectic approach that utilizes multiple theoretical orientations into my personal therapeutic style. My main goal is for you to feel like you're healing and growing as a person in all areas of life.

If you're feeling that your responses to stress, disappointment, uncertainty and past and present wounds may be holding you back, I may be able to help. Working together, I may be able to assist you in modifying self-defeating beliefs and behaviors, while helping you discover and build up your existing strengths. You can't control what life throws your way, but you can control how you respond to events and think about things. You can heal and develop positive ways of facing what comes your way with grace, patience and confidence.

Are you looking for help to get yourself on track to feeling comfortable in your life? Anxiety, depression, past trauma and/or prolonged stress can have serious impact on your well-being. Sometimes, it may appear as if everyone else has it "together" while you are hanging by a thread. Maybe you are constantly "spinning your wheels" but making no progress, and the path before you appears scary and unclear.

All of us experience times in our lives when we are overwhelmed, anxious or depressed. These times should not define us. When these times arise, we need someone to listen to everything that is being said as well as hearing what is not being said. The ability to work through these tough times is necessary for all of us with the goal of being stronger as a result.

In today’s busy and often chaotic world it is easy to feel overwhelmed. Things like self-care and reflection are often overlooked and we find ourselves struggling to stay afloat.  Engaging in therapy can provide a healthy perspective from which to reflect on and address the areas of life that may need improvement in order to find balance and fulfillment in life.

You don't have to be in a crisis to participate in therapy. Life can be complicated and overwhelming. Therapy can be a useful tool to help you safely explore, let go and free yourself of those thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that keep you stuck or cause you stress or discomfort. Processing these distressing experiences with a therapist can be very beneficial, healing, and transformative. Let's work together to release those limiting expectations, modify those fixed beliefs, and increase your ability to cope and function. Are you ready to become the best version of yourself and change your life for the better?

Accepting new clients. I specialize in clients struggling with grief and loss. As a clinician I recognize that as we move through life many if not most experiences include loss, physical or otherwise.

As a member of the Still Waters Counseling team I look forward to empowering my clients so they can live their lives to the fullest and heal from past trauma.

You may want to make changes, yet feel beaten down by worry. A part of you may be aware that difficult experiences you’ve faced throughout your life could be connected to your current struggles. As an intuitive holistic counselor I believe we can change by healing from the inside out. What shows up in our outer life through negative thoughts, unwanted behaviors, body discomfort or difficult feelings can be a signal or sign we are ready for change. I believe the present symptoms or conditions give us clues to what is going on inside, possibly connected to past difficult experiences that need attention, understanding and healing.

If you're looking for a counselor, chances are life's been rough for you lately. Maybe tasks for work or school have become overwhelming or some of your relationships have been collapsing. Our society has had more than its fair share of tense and even volatile events especially in the last few years, and those traumatic events certainly can affect us on a personal level.
