How can you live as your best, most authentic self? Mental health struggles often get in the way of getting the most out of our day to day experiences and relationships. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor who takes a holistic, person-centered, and multicultural approach to supporting clients in finding balance within an unbalanced worl
Internal turmoil can take many forms. People often feel that they should be happy when they are not. We get stuck in behavioral ruts in which we do things that we dislike, and don't pursue our goals or animating passions. We can feel torn between a desire to connect with others and to protect ourselves from others. We often fear difference, the jud
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. You've both tried, many times to be better with each other, to find ways to change, find solutions, better understand the problem, stop the misunderstandings, yet somehow it all continues and at times it's too much.

Looking for a therapist can be one of the most difficult parts of the therapeutic process. Finding a stranger to share some of your most difficult thoughts and stories with is a huge step, so it's important to first acknowledge that. You should be proud of yourself for starting this process.
Therapy can be the space to make large life changes or
Do you feel unsettled in your life, but are unsure what would make you feel better? Is your relationship stressful? When we face daily challenges, our relationships with significant others, children, colleagues, and family can change.
Sometimes we anxiously attempt to fix things. Other times we withdraw into our own heads. Although this approac
We often think of ourselves as what we are given, but instead it's what we make of what we're given. I am guided by a view of identity as a creative narrative and see distress as often occurring when we feel stuck in that creation, bound to a self and life that isn't working. The goal in therapy is not only to understand how and why we
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois and Iowa with over 30 years of experience working with adults, couples, and teens. I believe that change is a result of self-empowerment, education, and support. My practice comes from the belief that each person is unique and requires a holistic approach to inspire change.
