The Team

---

It is my belief that most people who come to counseling have the solutions to their most troubling issues right inside themselves. As a counselor, I see it as my job to help you recognize, not only this truth, but also how to get to the solution. It is a great joy to be able to work side-by-side with my clients to accomplish this.

I have been married to Maria since 1995. We have three amazing children. Sophia, Manny, and Carston. I have been a counselor since 2016. My first career was a student pastor and I did that for 25 years. I became a Licensed Clinincal Professional Counselor (LCPC) in 2021. I love my work with adolescents and their families on issues related to behaviors and executive function deficits. I have also been trained in EMDR and Brainspotting. I have seen great benefits from using these neuro-somatic therapies to help clients as they work through difficult experiences from their lives.

My goal is to provide a safe and acceptable place for my clients to do work on the things they desire to work on in their lives. I understand counseling can feel scary, so I work hard to put my clients at ease and feel comfortable and safe as they meet with me. I would love it if there were no more clients to treat, but that would mean no one has more work to do on themselves. Until that day, we work.

I initially opened this practice to offer Neurofeedback for people in the community.  We are slowly integrating Red Light Therapy into the services we offer.

I work at Buehler Wellness as the Payroll Manager. I'm married to David and we have four amazing adult children, one amazing daughter-in-law and three amazing son-in-laws. We have also been blessed with beautiful grandchildren. I really love the work we do here for our clients...seeing them improve so dramatically is amazing. I also love working with the team we have here.

I work at Buehler Wellness as the Practice Manager. I am married to Paul, and we have 3 beautiful children- Adilynn, Paisley, and Finley. I graduated with my Associates of Science in Occupational Therapy Assistant in 2015. Immediately following graduation I started working at SIH and floating around between their inpatient, outpatient and acute rehab facilities. Shortly after, I was certified in Early Intervention and began going into homes and daycares working with children age birth-3. Early Intervention was very rewarding and enjoyable but after finding out I was pregnant with my third child, I decided to stay home full time to focus on being the best wife, mother and homemaker that I can be! I really enjoy working at BWC now! Seeing clients progress and have less unwanted symptoms is amazing to me. I love being able to support people on their journey of life and witness how much NeurOptimal® is helping them. 

I work at Buehler Wellness as the NeurOptimal® Specialist. I am happily married to my husband Mike of 34 years. Mike is a retired police officer. We have two sons, two daughter-in-laws, and three grandchildren. Our family is our joy and such a blessing! I love to be out in nature going hiking, fishing, planting flowers, and anything outdoors. When I have extra time I enjoy cooking and baking for my family and friends. I have spent most of my life being a stay at home mom and managing our home. I also taught several years as a kindergarten aide and preschool teacher at Unity Christian School. Working here provides me a great opportunity to help and care for people, which is something that I am passionate about. I also see my position as a ministry in helping people throughout our communities.

I work at Buehler Wellness as the Credentialing Specialist. I have been a registered nurse since 2017 and have worked in many settings and positions in Women's Health, School Nursing, and Oncology. I am currently enjoying being a stay-at-home mom to my little guy, Levi, after moving to Colorado recently. My husband, Caleb, and I enjoy traveling, rock climbing, hiking, and breakfast food. I am excited to be on the BWC team as we work to best serve Southern Illinois and beyond.
