Therapists in Towanda, IL

My empathetic approach meets the individual where they are, to explore their concerns without shame, guilt, or judgment. Everyone faces challenges and difficult times in their life. The way we receive information from the people, places, and things in our environment is rooted in experience, belief systems, and our personality. We respond and interact with others based on our defined relationship with ourselves and our experiences. My goal is to create a safe environment, to cultivate an authentic relationship with yourself. We will work together to develop attainable treatment goals based on your needs and wants.

I became a therapist because I have learned to thrive, in spite of life's obstacles. Through my journey I discovered my passion for helping others and chose to become a therapist. In my practice I work with both men and women.

My aim is to be genuine, down-to-earth, and to use a healthy dose of humor in therapy. I specialize in depression, anxiety, trauma, and chronic suicidal thoughts, though I work with a wide variety of clients. I love providing support to the parents of teens with behavioral and mental health challenges. I am trained in prenatal/postpartum mental health. Over the past ten years, I have worked closely with many transgender individuals and their families. I also enjoy supporting other care-taking professionals, such as nurses, educators, and other therapists.

An athlete's life is different from other people. Does the stress of being an athlete sometimes makes you feel overwhelmed and alone? Are you expected to be almost perfect and fear you won't measure up and will get ridiculed? Are you afraid of not being "good enough" and coaches losing confidence in you? Does worrying about your performance leave you feeling overanxious? Do you have moments of overwhelming sadness but are afraid to let anyone know because you're an athlete and athletes can't show any signs of weakness, all the while feeling stressed out with no one to go to?
