Therapists in Champaign, IL

I have 30 years of experience working with adults, and adolescents. The last 20 I have enjoyed working in private practice. I work with individuals, couples, and families addressing a broad range of issues such as depression, anxiety, relationships, parenting, adoption, sexual orientation, and pornography addiction just to name a few. I believe 50% of therapy is in the relationship with your therapist. I'd be happy to talk to you on the phone or meet with you for an initial appointment to help you determine if I am a good fit for you.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I firmly believe that therapy services should be available and affordable to all who need them. I use individual, couples, family, and group therapy. I am also the Clinical Supervisor at Compass. As a graduate of the University of Illinois with 25 years of experience as a therapist, I am currently serving as a clinician working with a broad spectrum of clients with a non-judgmental and sex-positive attitude. Among my areas of expertise are LGBTQIA+ clientele (specifically with transfolks), abuse and trauma, depression and anxiety, and anger management. I have also worked with polyamorous folk.

Do you and your partner need a safe space to work through relationships/marital issues? Maybe you and your partner are consistently trying to work through the same issues, but things are not getting better? Or maybe you feel that you and your partner are struggling to communicate or struggling to implement conflict resolution skills. If so, now may be the time for you and your partner/spouse to consider meeting with a professional!

My speciality is working with clients who are navigating depression, anxiety, grief, adjustment, interpersonal relationships, and exploring their identity. I value my ability to aid people in processing their lived experiences and navigating how to manage the harder parts of life more effectively. I believe people want to be understood ... we want to have a space where we can share the scary or uncomfortable parts of ourselves in order to understand ourselves better. I believe people need a space to process the harder parts of life to not feel so alone and to work toward living more happily. I hope I can provide you that space.

Often, we find ourselves operating out of patterns, beliefs, or wounds we've accumulated throughout life. The better we understand ourselves, the more mastery we can have over our lives and accomplish our goals. Life is good and beautiful but can also be hard, painful, and overwhelming. I want to team up with you to see you discover your world in new perspectives, help you discover strategies to overcome your obstacles, and lead a fulfilling life. "That which we need the most will be found where we least want to look." -Carl Jung

I have over 25 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I have been in private practice since 2005 working with individuals, couples and families to address a variety of concerns. Many clients I work with have presenting issues including depression, anxiety, relational, and situational concerns. I particularly enjoy working with adolescents and young adults. I also currently provide counseling services at the University of Illinois as the Director of Faculty/Staff Assistance and Well-Being Services.

I specialize in working with youth ages 12 and older, parents, and family dynamics. I also work with adults. The mental health issues I specialize in are: depression and suicidal thoughts/ideation, self-harming behaviors, anxiety, trauma history or disorders, oppositional defiance, ADHD, parenting, peer relationships, self-esteem, sexual abuse, and sexually problematic behaviors. I also specialize in family reintegration and boundary setting. Therapy should be about improving yourself and learning the tools to do that effectively.

Are you experiencing difficulty in your relationships, engaging in self-sabotoging behavior, feeling paralyzed in your life? You can create change. You don't have to remain anxious, depressed, confused or paralyzed in relationships or in life. Together we can create a safe space for you to feel both understood and empowered. We will work as a partnership exploring the hurdles that prevent growth, and the patterns of behavior that are no longer helpful but difficult to let go of. Together we will lay the foundation for lasting change.

I have worked in the mental health field for over a decade in many different capacities. I have specific training around the areas of trauma and abuse, although I take a holistic approach to counseling. I work with clients to meet the goals that they have for their lives, whatever those may be. My goal is to foster a strong trusting relationship with clients so they feel comfortable expressing themselves without fear of judgment so they can work through the change process. I work to empower clients to utilize their strengths to overcome the challenges that bring them to counseling.

I believe deeply in the power of relationships for growth and healing. If we have the privilege of working together, I will listen attentively to understand your experiences. When applicable, I will seek to help you recognize and develop your strengths and skills to respond effectively to life’s many difficulties and opportunities. Areas of support include guidance for concerns with anxiety, depression, OCD, panic attacks, PTSD, anger, grief, mood disorders, personality disorders, impulse control, relationship challenges, sexual pain disorders and concerns regarding gender and sexuality.

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.

Change is a major source of stress and life is full of change. I believe one of the most helpful applications of therapy is to help clients deal with the changes they experience and incorporate them into their lives-children growing up and leaving home (the client might be the parent or the child), relationship changes, job-related change, dealing with death, or any other changes that challenge you. I offer a safe place to express your feelings about the changes in your life and strive to be a non-judgmental companion through that process.

I am a counselor with a master's degree in mental health counseling and a certificate in sex therapy.
