Therapists in Urbana, IL

It's hard to make changes and it helps to have someone experienced in that process to guide and support you. Optimal healing and growth involve all the parts of the self -- body, mind and spirit. With over 20 years of experience, I offer holistic psychotherapy grounded in the principles established by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, nutritional and integrative medicine for mental health, and yoga therapy for individuals, couples and small groups. Whether you utilize one, some, or all of these approaches, they are designed to help you on your path to vitality, spaciousness and wholeness.

Finding the right therapist for you is no small task. Even as a therapist myself, I often feel intimidated by the prospect of it. I want you to know that I value the choice that every person makes to work with me. I promise to do as much work as you do in session and put myself on the line just as much as you will. I will never judge you and I will always sit in the moment whether it is filled with laughter, pride, or tears. If we can communicate fairly and positively with ourselves, then our capacity for happiness and fulfillment is greater than we might think.

I have 30 years of experience working with adults, and adolescents. The last 20 I have enjoyed working in private practice. I work with individuals, couples, and families addressing a broad range of issues such as depression, anxiety, relationships, parenting, adoption, sexual orientation, and pornography addiction just to name a few. I believe 50% of therapy is in the relationship with your therapist. I'd be happy to talk to you on the phone or meet with you for an initial appointment to help you determine if I am a good fit for you.
