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.

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.

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.

Life can be undeniably difficult at times (increasingly so over the last few years). Sometimes, it becomes too much, and we need help to navigate and walk through those times and regulate those emotions/feelings. A need for a calm, confidential, non-judgmental space to express where you are and where you want to be. A place to find solutions, insight, and perspective. A place to learn some techniques to attain your desired health and life goals.

My goal is not just to help people have a better life here on earth, but to help people have a right relationship with God. Over and over again we see the connection between spiritual health and emotional, mental and physical health. While spiritual health alone does not make every problem go away...spiritual health is critical to bringing emotional, mental and physical health. Most of us have experienced feelings of hurt, disappointment, fear, rejection, loneliness, grief, guilt, and/or shame. These feelings may cause us to project an image that is not necessarily true to who we really are.

My passion is to heal the unseen wounds. My goal is to walk with you in your journey of healing, connecting, and growing. I believe that each of us has inner strength to heal and to live life to its fullest, but at times we need someone else to walk with us. Let me be that person for you!
