Therapists in Cherry Valley, IL

You’re feeling stuck, unhappy with where your life is, afraid to make the next decision, or afraid that you’ve already made the wrong decision. You fight with the inner voice of doubt and anxiety every day and don’t know where to turn. You may look like you have it all together to anyone looking at your life from the outside, but you don’t feel successful. Covid-19, political unrest, and the changing climate have changed your outlook on the future. You aren't sure what you need to do, but you know that everything you have done so far hasn't worked.

I primarily work with teens and women across the life span who would like to incorporate their faith in their healing journey. We live in a fallen world, and God does not promise that we will not have trouble through the seasons of life like grief/loss, troubles in our marriage, hardships at work/school, being treated unfairly, etc. However, He does promise to be with us through these storms, and he offers His peace through it all.
