Find a Therapist in Eureka, Illinois.

Psychotherapy is the practice of using psychology to address mental health issues (as opposed to physical, occupational, or speech therapy). Psychotherapy may be practiced by a variety of professionals such as psychologists, marriage and family counselors, licensed clinical social workers, and psychiatrists. I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in a cognitive behavioral treatment of anxiety and mood disorders.

Patients often describe their experience working with me as a journey characterized by compassion, understanding, and genuine connection. My approach is rooted in creating a safe and welcoming space where you feel heard and valued. Patients have shared that our sessions feel like open conversations, free from judgment, where thoughts and emotions are explored with a sense of genuine curiosity. Many have expressed a profound sense of relief in being able to share their struggles openly, knowing that they are met with empathy and respect.

What is your life story? What are your unique experiences and how were you shaped or changed by them? We all are impacted by our story. My approach to therapy is to help you to understand how your life story and the core beliefs that have developed from it are shaping your thoughts, emotions, and actions towards yourself and the world around you.

We offer thoughtful and engaging sessions to help treat your mental health concerns. We do so by building trust and providing evidence to support healthy, functional change, but we also do so by challenging your negative thought patterns. We ask if there is another way to think about the situation and provide skills and techniques for you to practice in session and on your own. Psychotherapy is a work in process.
