It is a true privilege to be by your side through the most difficult times in your life. As a dedicated and passionate therapist, I will partner with you to create a tailored plan to meet your goals. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) coupled with a Strengths Based approach.

Illinois Behavioral Health Group (IBHG) is dedicated to providing compassionate, comprehensive, and personalized care to individuals and families across the lifespan. We emphasize the importance of treating everyone with dignity and respect, regardless of their backgrounds and beliefs. In collaboration with you, our clinicians develop personalized treatment plans to foster lasting behavioral change and help guide you on your journey toward self-fulfillment. We are committed to providing a supportive environment to help you live a more meaningful, happier, and healthier life.

Often times we look back on our past with disdain and dwell on “what ifs” and fall into second-guessing ourselves. In my work with you, we will focus on how you can accept and make peace with your past, while also learning from past situations. I believe that everyone has a story to tell and can learn to embrace their past as a stepping stone for a brighter tomorrow. My goal is to create an open and safe environment where you can: raise your concerns, fears and needs; become more accepting of yourself; clarify your goals; and determine how you can work to achieve your goals and resolve current challenges.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Ball State University. My approach to therapy can be described with a quote from a mentor of mine. “If I can make a difference in one chapter of someone’s life story and help it have a better ending then that makes this career worthwhile.” My own experiences have shown the power in having someone show up for you during a difficult time. If you are seeking new perspectives and needing someone to show up for you then therapy is a good place to start the journey.

Metamorphosis is the process of change into something adult, mature, and breathtaking! I'd like to think that I have been entrusted by my clients to help them transition into living a better quality of life, so they may spread their wings and fly! My goal is to uplift, empower, teach, and motivate those who struggle to work toward living a healthier and happier lifestyle.

While in school, I was asked why I choose the field of psychology. I replied, "life doesn't need to be so painful". Finding relief isn't always easy. Life offers us many challenges that are not only difficult to face; but, even more painful to face alone. I am here to offer unbiased support and help processing through and uncover feelings, beliefs, behaviors, and consequences to life's discomforts. I counsel: ADULTS in transition, personal development, trauma, depression, anxiety, impulse, and mood disorders. ADOLESCENCE: social anxiety, ocd, adhd/add, school issues/avoidance, self-harm, and issues with self-esteem.

Therapy is hard work but it’s worth it because it starts with choosing yourself and being intentional about how you want to live your life. While we may come to therapy in a time of hardship, we all have strengths that we can use a foundation for growth. There’s no one-size-fits-all therapeutic approach so I use a blend of approaches including DBT, CBT, ACT, Mindfulness, Expressive Arts, and Play/Narrative therapies. I also understand how systemic forces shape our realities, and I help clients recognize these forces and develop skills to cope.

Asking for help when you are having emotional difficulties may not be easy. Whether you are depressed or anxious, dealing with a recent loss, coping with past or present trauma, have low self-esteem, interpersonal difficulties, or facing the challenges of everyday living and/or negotiating life transitions, you hope to find a compassionate and caring person who will understand. In my practice providing psychotherapy to adults, adolescents, and couples, I offer a comfortable and confidential place where clients can explore feelings and concerns safely, while also addressing their most difficult problems or life challenges.

When you feel safe and supported, then and only then are you able to let your guard down and get in touch with your core issues and feelings. The most important measure of whether therapy will have a positive outcome is the connection between you and your therapist. For this reason, my goal is to create a warm and supportive environment in which you will be respectfully heard, cared about and not judged in any way. My overall approach is conversational, non-judgemental and solution focused with humor and laughter always welcome :)

Anxiety and OCD can be overwhelming and create barriers to how you live your life. Through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure based treatment (ERP), we will work together help you to face those fears and reduce the behaviors that are getting in the way of your life. Treatment is structured, incremental, and results-oriented, which helps to facilitate practice and observe progress more quickly, so you can live your most fulfilling life.

If you are struggling with feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed or experiencing increased life stressors due to work, family or other responsibilities, psychotherapy can help. Strengthening your interpersonal, behavioral and relational strategies will bring you relief. Together, we will explore how the complex patterns of your experiences are affecting your current life challenges, emotions, and behaviors. Whether working with children, adolescents, teens or adults, my approach is to be compassionate and attuned to your unique set of needs, providing a space for you to feel understood, appreciated and learn self-acceptance, ultimately achieving more effective strategies for dealing with life's stressors.

Ellie Mental Health is all about being authentic while providing a safe, compassionate and inviting space for our clients. We strive to provide exceptional ethical, compassionate care that meets people where they are, demonstrates empathy and recognizes whole person care.

Joy. Transformation. Growth. Hope. Fulfillment. Connection. Is this what your heart is longing for? Most people, if connected to their desires, deeply yearn for these things but are limited in how much they can experience them due to pain and brokenness. My passion is walking alongside others as they journey towards healing and transformation. You don't have to struggle in isolation. Whatever your obstacles are to joyful life and fulfilling relationships, together we can begin working on overcoming those!

It takes a great deal of courage to share your experiences with someone, and I am honored to walk this journey with you! Together we can explore how current (and past) stressors and uncertainties may be impacting your lived experience. I aim to co-create an open and warm therapeutic space of collaboration where we can unfold your experiences and culture while strengthening insight, healthy coping skills, and self-compassion. In this process we can explore a holistic understanding of your self in the context of your relationships and the world. I offer easy-to-use, HIPAA-compliant TeleHealth/teletherapy services.

I believe that getting to the root of the problem--not just managing symptoms-- is key to transformation. I enjoy being part of the healing process; empowering people to discover their own capacity for growth and change. I believe each of us already holds the keys to our highest good. I have helped a range of people, men, women, teens, and members of the LGBTQ community, examine their lives from new perspectives and discover new solutions. I would love to help YOU blossom! My passion is helping people navigate a path to safety, wholeness & healing.
