Living in a small town like Rochelle, Illinois is fantastic, especially for those who enjoy spending time with their friends and neighbors. With over 9200 citizens in about 13 square miles, there are plenty of people to hang out with. Located on the Kyle River, many in the community meet there for BBQs, picnics, and other events.
However, sometimes you may not feel like going to any events. In fact, you may just need to talk to someone about all that is going on in your life like employment issues, parenting, relationships, depression, or anxiety. There are many mental health professionals in and around Rochelle who can help these and any other concerns you may have.

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.
