As a doctor of education and a marriage and family therapist, I’ve enjoyed helping people to better manage both their lives and relationships. Through my work, I’ve noticed a growing desire for more deeply satisfying lives, families, and careers. I created Fox Valley Institute to meet the needs of people like you—people who want to grow personally and professionally.

Here at Fox Valley Institute we set a precedence of providing innovative methods of treatment along with traditional counseling services.   We have found incorporating these non-traditional treatments to be more effective over a shorter period of time.  They help eliminate the negative effects of your past experiences, traumas and distorted beliefs.  This is all done without you having to relive the past or feel the pain from the traumatic event(s).

Our approach is empathic, nonjudgmental and interpersonal.  Most importantly, it’s about you!  Nobody should face their challenges alone.  Fox Valley Institute is here to help support, inform, and challenge you to reach your greatest potential.
