Therapists in Plainfield, IL

As we move through life we often encounter obstacles like boulders in a river: you can't always avoid them, but the key is to not get stuck on them. As a licensed professional clinical counselor and a relationship coaching specialist I empower individuals and couples to identify and overcome roadblocks to create more purposeful behavior and satisfying relationships.

Life can be an overwhelming and a confusing puzzle at times. Therapy allows you to take the time to carefully pick up those pieces and create a life that you can be at peace with. My therapeutic style is one that balances real connection with honest conversations. I collaborate with clients to create a judgement free space that will also challenge you directly to reach the goals you want to achieve. Together, we can find the right tools to help you cope with stress and navigate relationship dynamics. By exploring patterns and learning new skills in therapy, you can gain a renewed sense of confidence and strength.

Life has a way of knocking us off our feet. You are not alone and I would be happy to work with you. I have successfully worked with pre-teens, adolescents and adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, stress. I work with couples to enhance and enrich your relationship and will help you navigate personal issues which may be impacting your relationship negatively. I provide a safe space to help you overcome the difficulties you face to live your best life.

Handling day to day life with anxiety, Autism, or ADHD takes a ton of energy - finding a therapist with experience with severe or long-term mental illness can be equally exhausting. As a clinical psychologist, I have the training and experience necessary to help life seem a little less overwhelming. My clients often find that they have visited many therapists, but never seem to feel understood or make progress. This is even more difficult for neurodivergent clients (or those who wonder if they have Autism or ADHD), as it's difficult to get a clear diagnosis. This leads to a long-term, frustrating cycle of trying to find a good fit.

I have been working in the mental health and social service field for over 20 years. In that time, I have had the pleasure of working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I am passionate about helping others in finding peace and happiness within themselves and their relationships. I take a client centered approach and come from a place of compassion in building a strong trusting client-therapist relationship. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, mood disorders, life transitions, challenges with life stressors, work and school issues, codependency, and family/relationship issues.

Even if we cannot direct the wind, we can adjust our sails...storms happen. And there are times we need others to help us navigate. In an atmosphere of warmth and friendliness, I will listen and help you discover new approaches to manage your well-being.

I have a passion for helping individuals who have been wounded physically, emotionally and spiritually to become whole and restored.

I have 10+ years of experience working with families in an individual, couple, and family setting. Whether you are in the process of dating, are in a relationship, or in the process of navigating a breakup or divorce, or somewhere in-between. I work with couples that are having difficulties with emotional connection, falling out of love, struggling with infidelity, and learning to move forward. Love is an emotion, and our past experiences can dictate who we choose in partner selection. Additionally, I also help young adults and older adults, understand their values and how it affects partner selection and finding a balance.

Welcome! I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults who may be experiencing a variety of obstacles related to emotional and behavioral health needs. With experience in the areas of goal setting, processing/coping, social skills, and mental health diagnosis, my goal is to create unique and individualized treatment plan that is specific to each client's needs. I enjoy being part of the process towards client's reaching their goals and getting the most out of life! As both a therapist and a school social worker, I have a full understanding of the impact that mental health can have on one's day to day.

When people feel isolated or alone in their situation, they need someone else to help them gain a new perspective, feel differently, or at times escape the state at hand. My philosophy is to view therapy as if it were a "tune up" to help people keep operating through life. Just like cars need regular tune ups and oil changes to keep running smoothly, people also need regular check-ins and support for internal issues. This is especially important for people of color and minority populations because they face additional societal challenges (including microaggressions) that may or may not be overt but are often painful.

I meet my clients where they are using therapeutic approaches that will better meet their needs.

If someone waved a magic wand and all your problems disappeared, what would you be doing that you’re not doing now? What would you stop doing that you are doing now? My goal is help you to figure out what habits are helping you, and which ones are getting in your way. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, and other mood disorders.

I am a licensed clinical professional counselor with almost nine of years of experience serving clients and patients in multiple levels of care including, residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient. Having had needed my own therapist as an adolescent and periodically throughout my adult life, I knew I wanted to pay my own experience forward and provide a space for all who I would see that is welcoming, safe, and empathetically understanding. It is my belief that those three characteristics provide a foundation to therapy for individuals to make profound changes to their life.
