Therapists in Mahomet, IL

Are you feeling overwhelmed or exhausted? Do certain patterns in your life seem to persist, causing pain, discomfort, and frustration? Maybe there are past life experiences that feel hard to break free from. Therapy is a helpful tool in seeking relief from the things that hold us back emotionally, and it is my goal for each person who walks through my door to find support, empathy, and clinical expertise to achieve their mental health goals.

First and foremost, if you are reading this, I want you to know that I see the strength it took for you to take this step in asking for help. I work with clients ages 3 and up to navigate many life challenges - whether that is reprocessing past trauma, struggling in relationships, infertility/perinatal struggles, or navigating the day to day stressors of life. Being a member of the military/veteran community, I am also passionate about working with military/veterans and their family members on the unique challenges they face in their day to day life. I hope to help each person rewrite their story into something they can be proud of.

My approach is non-directive and is primarily based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client Centered Therapy. I see individuals and couples, age 15 and up. It is my goal to meet you where you are and provide a safe, supportive space for you to learn about yourself, make lasting changes, grow into the best version of yourself, and reach your goals.

We provide a safe listening space for you to be heard and challenged. Being challenged is not meant to be a scary thing. It is an opportunity for you to grow and see the progress that you want to have in your life. We want our sessions to be a space where you can freely say something is wrong and not be fearful of our response. We applaud self-advocacy and we see you meeting with us as a space where you can practice what needs to be said and or addressed in other life situations. Once we come to an understanding of how the therapeutic process works and how it can be useful to you, we have created a fertile ground for growth.

I believe that every story is important and deserves to be heard. Is your personal story feeling a bit heavy and weighing you down? Could you use some help understanding and coping with your story? Asking for help can feel so scary, but I promise to make the process as comfortable for you as I possibly can. Therapy is a team effort between the client and the therapist, but in my office, you as the client will always be in the driver's seat. I treat both children and adults and offer individual and family sessions.

I specialize in the areas of stress, anxiety, depression, self-worth, irrational and ruminating thoughts, grief, trauma, life transitions, relational distress, communication and intimacy concerns, emotional healing, infidelity, and the challenges and opportunities of blended families.

Welcome! I love working with clients on boundary setting, stress, anxiety and depression, parenting, how to improve career/professional functioning, resolving conflict in a healthy way, and much more. My youngest child has complex medical needs, which has given me a real soft spot for adults who are learning to thrive through unchangeable circumstances, as I've been there! My communication style is humorous, confident, and engaged. I will follow your lead but will also offer input, including helpful analogies and explanations of mental health concepts. I welcome disagreement and believe you are the expert on your own life.

There are times in our lives when we may have difficulty adjusting to work, family, and life stressors. Some may have experienced a traumatic event and have difficulty coping. Others may find it challenging to manage anxiety and depression, building healthy relationships, connecting to love ones or coping with other mental health conditions. Whatever the issues maybe, there is hope for healing and recovery, having the best quality of life possible.
