Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change."- Jim Rohn. People seek counseling when their emotional pain becomes too much to bear on their own and they want to be free of it. How we deal with life's pain defines who we are. While we don't choose to undergo misfortune, we do decide how we react to those events. I have found that negative experiences can also trigger something positive within us. Crisis offers opportunity for change, and pain can be the catalyst for transformation.

The relief you seek is inside of you…let’s find it and make it stronger than the problem! You may be fed up with using/abusing substances to cope with other issues (anxiety, depression, post-trauma, etc), feeling a happier life will always be out of your reach or tired of looking in the mirror and seeing shame, guilt, or discontent. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. You’re ready to relieve yourself of the control substances seem to have over you . You’re ready to regain the confidence in yourself you once had. Most of all, you’re ready to flourish in life rather than just live (survive).

Conflict with your partner or spouse? Unproductive communication? Recurrent episodes of anxiety or depressed mood? Overconsumption of alcohol and/or substances in an attempt to self medicate against your out of control emotions? These and many other mental health challenges are both treatable and resolvable. In my 35+ years as a therapist to residents of the greater Fox Valley area I have observed that most of my clients choose therapy when they have utilized and exhausted all coping tools and problem solving strategies.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Illinois. I specialize in helping individuals and couples who are experiencing grief and loss, life transitional issues, substance abuse, and relational conflict. I am a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider and a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional. I believe in treating the whole person and understand that mental and physical health are connected. I meet each and every client where they are and work with them to address their individual needs so that they can start living a more fulfilling life.

I believe that change happens when individuals develop an understanding of the patterns that are limiting their growth, relationships, and life decisions. So many times, we get stuck in a rut of blaming others and/or developing resentment toward people and situations. When we truly learn that the only person we can control is oneself, it is freeing and opens the door to focusing on real change and growth. As a therapist who specializes in trauma, I understand the impact that abuse, manipulation, and control have on our view of ourselves and of the world around us.
