Therapists in Plainfield, IL

I believe that therapy is a collaborative space for individuals to gain insight and coping skills that best suit their journey of self-growth. My goal is to provide a non-judgemental, safe, and supportive environment for individuals to become empowered and overcome personal obstacles. I believe that counseling can be compared to the metaphor of how a flower grows. You are the seed, and counseling is the soil and water. The seed already knows exactly how to grow and blossom into a beautiful flower – but it's also important for the seed to have the right type of environment to grow and prosper in.

I am passionate about helping people progress and move forward through their difficulties. During difficult times we need guidance and support to help us cope, transition, and work through struggles that at times keep us stuck. With compassion, I offer support, and help my clients develop SKILLS and understanding into dealing with issues and learning to take on NEW approaches to life, especially during difficult times. My specialities include eating disorders, relationship issues, life transitions, and anxieties. The best investment you can make is taking time for yourself and working on empowering YOU.

I believe that self-care is a worthwhile investment that could end unnecessary suffering and improve the quality of your life. People may hesitate to participate in therapy services. You are welcome to address any questions or concerns that you have before you share personal experiences, thoughts, and feelings. I look forward to providing the help and support you need to finish your treatment program so that you can move on with your life!

Everyone faces challenges in life. Seeking help for yourself, your child or relationship when experiencing difficulty is a strength which leads to creating a more fulfilling, healthy & happy life. With 18+ years' experience, I have helped many to overcome anxiety, trauma, depression, anger, loss, etc. I have helped couples restore intimacy/connection and learn ways to communicate. Children/teens learn ways to cope and manage social/school stress. Parents learn ways to connect, manage behaviors and heal their relationships with their children. Families heal from loss, life's transitions, substance abuse, divorce, mental illness.

It’s no secret that life comes with struggles – or that those struggles can impact every part of a person’s life. No matter the age, gender, race, or overall walk of life, those struggles can interfere with one's mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing. The good news is that counseling can help with everything from childhood trauma to day-day life. With that in mind, Crossroads Counseling Services opened its doors in April 2007 with the mission of helping residents of Plainfield, Ottawa, Morris, and Yorkville, IL deal with and overcome these issues and trauma.

Taking the first step to begin the counseling process can be a difficult one, as the decision to make changes in your life can be overwhelming.

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” – Maya Angelou There are times in all of our lives where we can use support.

I aim to provide a judgment free zone, where individuals can be their authentic selves.

When your child or teen needs support it's important to find the right fit for them. They need to be comfortable with a therapist and you as a caregiver should feel confident with that provider as well.

Depression, family or marital stress, behavioral issues, lack of motivation or school refusal, healthy relationships, excessive anxiety and self-esteem are common struggles people may tackle through therapy. Additionally, I work with the LGBTQ community including teens with gender identity issues.
