Hi! My name is Hillary. I am a licensed therapist with many years of experience in providing talk therapy to clients with a diverse set of backgrounds. I enjoy working with people, helping them to realize their full potential and by providing support and guidance in reaching their goals.
I received my Bachelor’s degree from Indiana University, and my Master’s degree from Washington University in St. Louis.
I have experience working with adults and teenagers living with stress, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and chemical dependency. I help and support people going through major life transitions such as; new job, parenting, relationship stressors, grief/loss, etc.
I like to use cognitive behavioral therapy, challenging negative automatic thoughts, working towards a healthier self. I believe having a constructive view of the self is the first step to moving forward to achieve your goals. I like to concentrate on solution-focused therapy using client’s goals as their motivation to better themselves, being mindful, present in the moment, as a place to start.
I want to assist my clients to find their own empowerment. I offer my clients new perspectives while focusing on their strengths and support them in their journey towards the life they want and deserve.
I look forward to working with you. I believe the client-therapist team is an extremely powerful partnership that can bring about positive change.
Thank you and I look forward to working with you,
Hillary

I've not been working with Hillary long, but her getting me through the most anxiety provoking and life changing moments of my life will never be forgotten. I had a baby via c-section, landed in the NICU for 8 weeks, and I'd lost my marbles had it not been for our chats. Hillary also checks in weekly and I do really believe truly cares for her patients and our situations. I've received kind thoughts and words as I navigated new parenthood and being a NICU mom. Everyone deserves a Hillary <3

Working with Hillary has been almost definitely the best decision that I have made for myself. I am amazed at how far that I have come, how I feel now (physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually), how I feel able to express myself, and how I'm choosing to look at myself and the world - a sometimes difficult, but ultimately truly rewarding, process; and guided by Hillary's many years of expertise. I am looking forward to continue our journey together.

Hillary is the perfect therapist for me. It took me a long time to be connected with the right therapist, but my sessions with Hillary are worth the journey to get here. She is kind, authentic, detail-oriented, and really cares. She makes me feel heard and understood — and checks in on me when we haven’t spoken for a few days.

I highly recommend Hillary to anyone who wants a therapist that will do more than just regurgitate what you’re saying. She gives actual advice and insight on situations, is kind and caring, prompt at replying, and doesn’t talk down on you or judge. She will definitely help you through hard times and not make you feel like you deserve what you’re going though (which I have personally experienced with another therapist in the past). She is very flexible with her appointments and does everything she can to support you in the best ways possible.

Hillary has been crucial for my development and ease into therapy again. She is wonderful at guiding me through the process of understanding why I do what I do and how to continue to develop my awareness to retrain my thoughts to be more engaging and positive with the life I want to live. She has been instrumental in helping me get and stay sober by allowing me to be open, honest, and get objective feedback. Wouldn't be where I am without her!

I have really enjoyed working with Hillary over the last few weeks. I am a therapist so choosing a therapist with a well mastered skill set and relevant experience was very important to me. We were able to build rapport quickly and she’s an excellent listener. Her feedback is both respectful but encourages me to be introspective. I like that she gives me some homework and things to think about in between sessions because a lot of the work happens in between meetings. I would highly recommend Hillary.

I could not be any more happy with Hillary. She reaches out almost everyday to check on me and make sure I'm doing well. This seems like much more than a job to her, it takes a special person to care so much about a complete stranger. I've never felt uncomfortable or pressured into talking about anything I didn't want to. She always has new advice and a fresh way for me to try and look at things. This has been a great experience and I believe anyone who has her to talk to is fantastic hands.
