Therapist in O’Fallon, IL
Welcome! I’m glad you’re here. I’m a psychotherapist located in O’Fallon and offering individual therapy for older adolescents, adults, and older adults. I work primarily with individuals struggling to align their expectations with their current experiences.
Are you a high-achieving perfectionist? A Pinterest-worthy parent, a straight-A student, an overachiever at work? Does everyone assume you are confident and put together, but inside you're crumbling and struggling to put one foot in front of the other? It's a very lonely place to be when your reality is much darker than it appears to others. I can help you give voice to what you're needing from those around you, and honor your whole self as you navigate this thing called life.
My approach
I work well with caregivers feeling the pressure of being a “good enough” parent in today’s world, as well as with those experiencing chronic illness and their families.
I am a firm believer in building a strong relationship with my clients - and that means that both of us have to be our real, authentic selves. I'll meet you where you are, and help you create tools that work for you. I'll be a true partner in your health.
My background includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Theory, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
