Out of Network Therapists in Saint Charles, IL

I work with children, adolescents, and adults looking for support and guidance during stressful times in their lives.

For over a decade I have worked with Adult and Adolescent Patients coping with various Life Challenges. I maintain a supportive and collaborative therapeutic relationship with my Patients as they negotiate their identified challenge areas. Specific areas of focus within my practice are Life Stage Challenges; Grief and Loss; Fertility and Postpartum; and Anxiety and Depression.

Do you need a safe, confidential place where you can feel comfortable expressing thoughts and feelings? I understand the difficulty of discussing past hurts and experiences. I provide a nonjudgmental place to heal and find hope and humor along the way. In appointments, we will help you let go of dark times and find light in the present and future. Everyone struggles, we are all working to the best of our ability. I provide an objective, safe place with skilled guidance to help you heal and create hope.

Successful counseling occurs when you find a therapist you can connect with, who makes you feel heard and values your thoughts and goals for the future. A positive therapist who enjoys learning who you are, and building on your strengths. If you allow me to walk with you in your struggles and victories, I will give you fair and honest feedback, and will challenge you to attain your goals. My Masters Degree from Aurora University, my rich work experience, as well as my own life journey give me valuable insights and wisdom that help me relate to my clients.

I know that taking a step into the unknown can be scary and overwhelming, but I believe that beginning this journey will change your life.

Congratulations, you have made the first and most important step in helping yourself reach your goals.

I believe that everyone does the best they can with the resources they have. However, when bad things happen, people often find themselves stuck in roles and situations they do not want to be in. I can help you re-discover your true self and be a leader in your own life. I have over 15 years of experience counseling adults and couples.

Whether you're a man trying to pick up the pieces of your life and move forward or a couple trying to hold the relationship together because of built-up resentments and hurt, know that you're not alone. We all have wounds that hold us back from feeling whole and being close to the ones we love. I get it. This is hard. Life has a way of knocking us around so much that you may have wondered when your relationships will feel meaningful and enjoyable again. I’ve spent my career helping men and couples through tough times in their lives.

I never believe in giving up. Each one of us has a purpose. I believe my purpose is to help others find theirs. Sometimes we all feel stuck and I work hard to instill hope. Depression and anxiety don't have to hold you back from pursuing your dreams. Family conflict doesn't mean giving up on each other. A troubled teen doesn't have to mean troubled adult. My passion is to teach others the coping skills they need to reach out of their depression, push their anxiety aside and find harmony again in their home.
