The Village of Midlothian is a small town of young professionals and families that began as a country club named for an ancient Scottish borough by Chicago businessmen in 1900. Within a few years the town was developed and incorporated in 1927. This town was built from the ground up and continues to prosper from hard working people and local businesses.

Demanding work takes a toll mentally and physically. If you suffer from mental exhaustion, are unsure where your path is taking you next, or just need someone to talk to, there are counselors serving the Midlothian area that are available to help you.

Welcome to BetterHelp. Life events can cause anyone to experience symptoms of anxiety and/or depression. How you respond to these symptoms makes all the difference in your overall health. Together we will work to identify your goals of managing these symptoms and develop steps to reduce their affect on your day to day life. Sometimes these life events are traumatic, which can cause much longer term effects on your health. Processing trauma, no matter how long ago it happened, is vital to moving forward past the traumatic event. A little bit about me personally. I am a Southern Illinois native. I attended SIU and completed my Bachelor’s of Social Work in December of 2012. After taking a semester off, I moved forward to obtain my Masters of Social Work which I completed in May of 2014. Since completing my education, I have worked as a therapist with adolescents with extreme trauma in a residential setting. I then worked with the public schools in Williamson County to provide therapy in the schools to students with a variety of disorders, including behavior disturbances. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in an outpatient setting for the past 3 years. I have found that therapy is my passion and I look forward to helping you discover how therapy can improve your quality of life.

I accept that we all bump or run into rough patches in our life journey. It can be easy or difficult to match up with a person to work through these rough patches. I have been in health care for 40 years and professional counseling for 20 years. I have witnessed a great deal of suffering and spiritual and emotional growth, in others and myself. I take time to learn about the person who comes my way. I believe not every "technique" fits every person. I find using EMDR or guided imagery to reveal a person's deeper concerns fairly quickly, but I draw from other techniques and educational approaches as seems best fit. I am someone who embraces the effectiveness of 12 step programs for a possible solution to addictive compulsions but I totally accept those sorts of approaches are not for everyone .I will forward handouts I think might be helpful to you to guide a session or for later review by you. I look forward to meeting you at this time in your life journey.
