Hi My name is Diane I have more than 30+ years of experience doing therapy. I have worked in inpatient, outpatient settings as well as family service agencies and private practice. My approach is client centered with a strong focus on solution oriented short term therapy. I am a direct communicator, but use humor often to help clarify issues and to create an intervention that is easier to remember for my clients. Life sometimes is very hard, it is our reaction to it that makes it harder or easier. We can grow and learn to make our decisions based on our values and interests so that we are not fighting with ourself over the decisions that were always ours to make. We all make choices that have far ranging consequences for ourself and others- let us make them after a careful, honest self examination- therapy can provide a safe place for this self examination. . I have an interest in providing therapy and support for caregivers, clients with new medical challenges and families dealing with end of life issues. I have specialized in grief and loss as well as anxiety and depression. I am a direct communicator and have been able to " speak truth to power" so one of my subset of experiences is coaching executives who have lost their jobs and are going through emotionally challenging times. I am experienced at counseling cross cultural and interfaith families both at the pre-marital stage and further along in the marriage. I also have counseling experience ( as an ally) with GLBTQ+ counseling, coming out, managing the family disclosure and acceptance and straight spouse issues as well. Additionally I have provided therapy to individuals participating in polyamorous lifestyles and people post affairs. Make no mistake, people need to work in therapy. A good therapist does not provide a NEST ( never ending supportive therapy) but rather a launching point. So if you are ready to launch ......contact me

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois and Indiana, I have spent most of my career working to help people that have experienced trauma understand their own narrative.

Your treatment plan will be created by you and for you so that the piece of you that has been impacted is made whole. I look forward to meeting you and working together to empower you to be excited about today, tomorrow and your future.

I am a licensed Illinois therapist with seven years of professional experience. I have a heart for helping clients navigate stress and anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and family conflicts. As a Christian therapist, my approach is rooted in compassion, respect, and the belief that healing and growth are possible through both clinical insight and spiritual support. Therapeutically, I take an eclectic approach—blending evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thought patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build emotional regulation and interpersonal skills, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients align their actions with their deepest values. When clients desire, I also incorporate spiritual reflection and Christian principles as part of the healing process, fostering both inner peace and personal growth. Meaningful change takes time, care, and collaboration. Therapy isn’t a quick fix—it’s a process of building trust, exploring patterns, and learning practical tools to create lasting transformation. I take time to build a strong foundation with each client because lasting progress begins with safety and understanding. As we move forward, I integrate evidence-based strategies to help you reframe unhelpful thoughts, strengthen emotional awareness, and develop healthier ways of responding to life’s challenges. If you’re looking for meaningful change, you’ve come to the right place. In our work together, I will help you clarify what matters most to you and assist in creating goals that reflect your values and the life you want to build. I will gently challenge you when needed and support you as you take practical steps toward growth and lasting change. Personal growth happens in stages, and my role is to walk alongside you through each one—helping you gain clarity, build confidence, and reconnect with a renewed sense of purpose along the way. Taking the first step toward a more peaceful and purposeful life takes courage. I’m here to walk alongside you in that journey with care and encouragement.
