Therapists in Shiloh, IL

I strive to provide a warm, safe environment in which you can feel safe to share and process current experiences and past experiences that may be causing difficulty to your system. I believe that positive experiences and relationships are central to trauma recovery and are important to general well-being. I believe that psychotherapy is a journey of self-discovery. I believe treatment is a creative process. We will work together to develop new insights that inform change. I currently do not have openings but I am happy to add you to my waitlist if that is your preference.

Do you feel stuck in your past trauma or overanalyze your feelings? Whether you have anxiety, depression, or PTSD, you don’t have to work through it alone. Through therapy, we can collaborate and achieve goals that are important to you. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in IL. I worked as a substance abuse counselor during my internship, and since then, I have been working with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. My goal is to provide you with the tools and resources to navigate and heal through life’s challenges.

We are all human. I know trauma on a personal level and treating trauma has become my passion. I use a client centered approach where you are the master of your own life; I am merely here to walk beside you as a guide and companion. My hope is to empower you to work through your trauma and life’s challenges. I am bilingual (Spanish and English) and offer in person counseling and telehealth. I have experience working with Spiritual Trauma survivors, Complex trauma, First Responders, Veterans, LGBTQ+ community, and la comunidad Latina.

Navigating through the various stages of life can be challenging; especially when you are struggling with feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, and having anxious thoughts. Pressure from family, social media and relationship issues can also be challenging. Let me help guide you through this difficult period in your life.

If you are having feelings of insecurity, fear or impulsive, if others have noticed you are irritable, angry or having feelings of depression, anxiety, negative beliefs and difficulties in relationships at school, home or on the job. Do you want to be able to recognize triggers, stop avoiding issues and gain coping skills. Do you want to be happier, feel more capable, gain confidence and knowledge about how you have gotten to this point? As a trauma informed therapist I can help you build solution focus skills to address trauma symptoms and understand how ACES’s (Adverse Childhood Experiences) affect your actions today.

Life can sometimes get pretty messy. This is why whenever you find yourself in emotional pain and hurt –there is hope. Life is difficult and we are not meant to go through this journey alone.
