Teletherapy for 60048

My ideal client? Probably you! Therapy requires engagement, and searching for a therapist is a great, positive step. I've worked with children and teens plenty, and I've become pretty good at engaging even the most reluctant. I really enjoy helping others find their identity and their comfortable space. I tend to work with anxiety disorders, trauma, and family conflict. Of course, what is trauma and conflict without stress, anger, and some low moods? I've worked with pretty much everything, and helping others identify their needs and goals is very satisfying.

Now accepting new clients. You deserve to start feeling better. Now is the time to start taking small life-changing steps to tend to yourself and start creating a new vision for your life. If you're coping with habits that don't feel great or patterns that you just can't break, therapy can probably help. Life in the world today is incredibly stressful and overwhelming. You may have a complicated history or are coping with new stressors or life transitions, whatever the case, you are not alone. Are you ready to make a change and start feeling better? I look forward to helping support and empower you as you map out your future.

Stuck in old patterns? Asking yourself if it is this hard for everyone? The complexity of life can leave even the grittiest of us drained of all energy by day's end. Luckily, your body is an amazing GPS, deserving of your attention. It has brought you here. By "here" I mean this far in your life and here NOW to explore life-changing possibilities.

Being disconnected from yourself or stuck in a joyless existence is not something you must simply endure. The lingering effects of trauma caused by overwhelming events can prevent you from experiencing the present fully or anticipating the future with hope. Imagine living life without the frenzy of distraction, the seduction of escape or the public relations campaign of always being “fine”. How would it feel to no longer be controlled by another person or event? What would it be like to be in relationships without anxiety, fear or intimidation? What if you laughed more, worried less, and interacted with yourself compassionately?

My strengths include working with adults and adolescents, developing rapport with resistant clients, and compassionate accountability. I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy techniques in my sessions. I am a relational therapist and focus on developing clients' strengths while also providing support for clients to stretch beyond their comfort zones. My treatment motto has become "It's through discomfort that we change." I will provide you with the education, compassion and support needed for you to face any fears or discomfort to become a healthier and happier person.

I believe all people can benefit from therapy services at one point or another within their lifetime. Through an integral treatment approach to therapy, utilizing treatments grounded in Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), psychoanalysis and interpersonal principles, I strive to create a safe atmosphere, fostering trust within the therapeutic relationship. Together we will work toward discovering the answers needed for you to get "unstuck" and to move forward in life. I look forward to hearing from you.

Helping restore a sense of balance and self-worth to my client’s lives is my passion. My experience has spanned over 14 years, with a strong foundation in child and adolescent pathology. My philosophy is to work collaboratively in goal development and attainment, to highlight the connection among faulty thinking, feelings, and ineffective coping patterns and promote healthy changes. Through empowerment to challenge these factors, comes a renewed sense of confidence, strengths, and effective skills to manage life’s stressors and relationships.

The world needs more safe spaces for humans to rest, recover and discover all they can to live well. I am grateful to create such a space at LifePlace and for the opportunity to help children, youth, and families create such sanctuary for themselves. Like all LifePlace clinicians, I meet children, adolescents, families and couples where they are to identify challenges and offer best-practice, evidence-based, whole-person treatment. I am committed to walking with clients every step of the way on their journey to healing, well-being, healthy relationships and leading meaningful lives.
