Teletherapy for Wheaton, IL

I use trauma informed care to connect with individuals and help clients and families through emotional distress. I use humor, unconditional positive regard and clinical approaches to assess, diagnose and offer behavioral intervention strategies that promote positive growth, healing and increase life satisfaction.

"We are born in relationship. We grow in relationship. We are wounded in relationship. And we are healed in relationship." - Harville Hendrix. My philosophy for counseling is to help my clients feel heard, grow in self-awareness and compassion, and heal from adversity life throws at them. As physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual beings, my goal is to come alongside you as we work together toward health, healing, and recovery.

Living well is an extremely difficult affair. Whether a hard relationship, a traumatic event, or a rough season of life that makes little sense - there is hope. As a lover of stories, I have found that the most potent ones often lie buried beneath layers of pain, guilt, and shame, where they subconsciously influence the way we think, feel, and connect with others. The process of healing can only begin as we tell the very stories that bring us pain and choose to love the parts of ourselves that may seem most frightening. Whatever you're facing, I know having a safe space to better understand your world will make it more manageable.

I enjoy providing clients with therapy sessions they find purposeful and fulfilling to what their life needs. This can be through psychoeducation, hands-on creativity ventures, or a connection with nature and the outdoors. I support clients through different stages of their life from adolescence, to young adulthood, and adulthood. I specialize in having a vast DBT and CBT toolbox for symptoms of anxiety and depression. I am equipped to support clients navigate their worldview through a trauma-focused approach, learning to support and re-parent themselves through self-compassion and kindness.

As a fully Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I am committed to walk along side you during your exploration of thoughts, emotions, behaviors and experiences that may be creating barriers towards personal happiness and well-being. I consider it a privilege to be part of your journey towards mental wellness. ​ During my 37 years working in the business sector, I facilitated teams, providing assistance in building communication and conflict management skills. I then took my corporate and life experiences into the field of counseling where I now specialize in addiction, adjustment issues, depression and anxiety.

I enjoy helping patients improve their lives. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I specialize in depression and anxiety that stems from relationship issues, peer issues, work problems, and school issues. Through education, life experiences, a family of my own, and a great deal of empathy, I feel that I can offer unique and confidential treatment. I have worked within private practices, hospitals, trauma centers, hospices and schools. Before counseling, I worked in academics, teaching, and financial institutions. I aim to provide my patients with the highest quality of care possible.

I get deep satisfaction from working with couples, using best practices from training in Emotionally Focused Therapy to recreate emotional connection. I also am trained in using EMDR to help individuals experience relief from the burden of traumatic experiences. Another specialty is Discernment Counseling, a discipline in which I am fully certified and which offers couples an opportunity to gain clarity about whether they remain married, continue as they are for the time being, or commit to the challenging work of couples therapy.

I assist clients with changing the narrative of their stories. The client is the expert regarding their life; however, I guide and/or challenge each client by refocusing them back to their targeted goals.
