Teletherapy for Plainfield, IL

As a therapist, I enjoy helping individuals and families reach their full potential and overcome obstacles. I encourage clients to learn new skills in therapy, gain insight and learn to collaborate with me, their families, and other important individuals in their lives. I have experience working with young children, especially those with Autism Spectrum Disorder, anxiety and SPD. While working with parents, I respect them as the expert on their children, while providing insight based on experience and knowledge of current research. With young children, I use play therapy to help facilitate communication between the child and the therapist.

Hi there! Do you feel stuck in a constant tug-of-war with painful thoughts? The pain of anxiety, conflict, grief, and traumatic experiences is real and deep. The experience of healing in relationship with a compassionate, skilled therapist is often deeper still. To thrive, human beings must constantly grow and learn. Do you want to center your life around the things that matter most to you? Therapy can help shift your life in those directions.

Long-term trauma and other chronic mental health challenges are exhausting - finding a therapist with experience with severe or long-term mental illness can be equally exhausting.

If you've been recently hospitalized or have jumped from therapist to therapist, let our combination of experience, research-backed skills and passion for helping be your landing spot for real change. We have experience with anxiety, depression, trauma and bipolar disorder

The Best Feeling for Me Is Another’s Success! As a catcher & team player for a conference championship collegiate baseball team, I have gained a multitude of skillsets that translate well into my role as a pre-licensed professional. As a catcher, I needed to visualize the entire playing field, seeing the minute details before me to help orchestrate the action that best benefited my team. As a teammate, I was responsible for helping integrate and balance everyone’s individual strengths and weaknesses to cohesively pursue a shared goal of winning. People around me describe me as compassionate, caring, mellow, humorous, & genuine.

In a world of uncertainty and constant negativity, you might be feeling many emotions that you really are not used to. Anger, depression, anxiety, stress, isolation, and loneliness are just a small amount of these feelings that you may have, and I am here to help! Everyone struggles - myself, you, your child, heck even your pet can seem ‘off’ some days (my cats show endless amounts of expression). I work best with nerds, whether you’re 5 or 50! I’ve dealt with bullies and being outcasted personally due to my quirks so if you need help with communication, self-expression, or have ‘specific’ stuff (you know what I mean), I’m your guy!

The COVID-19 pandemic has been hard for everyone. You may feel stressed, anxious, confined, angry, or depressed. You may even feel **guilty** for feelings those things. You don't have to deal with it alone. Let me help you cope and find ways to adjust to these new challenges. If you are ready to take the next big step but you don't know how - If you are willing to try out new things once our session is over - If you are able to open up to a new perspective... Then you are ready, willing, and able! We can start moving you in the right direction. Seriously - let's get going.

Accepting Clients. My approach to therapy is "come as you are and let's get down to work” in an environment of acceptance, compassion, and kindness. I am able to get to the heart of complex problems, gently and creatively challenging old patterns of thought and behavior to collaboratively find simple solutions my clients can begin implementing that day. With nearly 30 years’ diverse experience spanning the fields of social work/mental health care, law enforcement, and psychotherapy, I understand the vital importance of a healthy outlook on life, including work/life balance, healing from trauma, and maintaining healthy relationships.

We all feel things in ways others cannot understand. I get it. I am definitely not your typical counselor, I have a back story that goes on for miles. I also started out with goals in life, dreams, and thoughts about how I wanted life to be. Just like you, my journey was sidetracked by paths that were unforeseen. At times, fun, tragic, and potholes and bumps that challenged my core. Making the choice to come to counseling is awkward. To have to admit to yourself we have unresolved issues is a milestone. The secret is if you are reading this, you are stronger than you believe.

Let's be real, life is hard and sometimes we get lost on the way. I would like to be there to guide you through life's ups and downs. I enjoy focusing on the importance of work/ life balance and the power of self-discovery. I provide a safe space for clients to identify triggers to their feelings and apply various coping skills to address concerns. With a bit of humor and a lot of support, I am here to listen, talk and support you. Appointment booking is available through my website: https://woundedhealerscounselingservice.com/

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.

Life can sometimes be challenging and confusing. It's hard to ask for help and open up to someone that you don’t know. I believe in creating a safe place for you, where you can be open and honest, knowing that you will be respected and not judged. Creating a good clinician-client relationship is very important to the therapeutic process. I strongly believe in a collaborative approach to therapy where I can help you reach your goals. Then, together we can create a treatment plan that is tailored to each of your individual goals and needs. I will always encourage you to find your courage and the strength to reach your goals.

My clients typically seek therapy not when they are simply uncomfortable, but when they are uncomfortable enough for real changes. I work from a person-centered approach to get a full scope of my client and collaborate on treatment goals to help activate empowerment, hope and growth. My experience coaching sports is evident in my approach and I see our therapeutic relationship as teamwork. I also work with my clients to identify habits that can be improved for own health and wellness functioning and hold them accountable to change what they can to improve the situation!

You get complimented on having it together and doing it all so well. People say you make it look easy; but if they only knew how you really feel. To you, life feels chaotic. In spite of appearing to do it all seemingly well, it feels as though you’re failing or barely keeping up. You’re being pulled in multiple directions, it’s hard to prioritize. You don’t want to let others down, but the thought of doing one more thing causes you to panic. You oscillate between needing to do or control everything and wishing you could walk away to get the break you desperately need.
