There is always hope, no matter the situation you may find yourself in. Whether it's a difficult relationship, repetitive negative thoughts, teen issues, or feelings of depression leading you to dark places. Situations change when we learn new skills, understand how the past influences the present, or when we have a safe place to explore options.

Through listening and providing support I will create a safe space where you will feel comfortable in making changes to be empowered and thrive whether you seek counseling as an individual, couple, or family.

Life challenges can be overwhelming and I honor your courage and willingness to start making long-lasting, positive changes in your life. I strive to provide an emphatic, nurturing and beneficial therapeutic relationship and a safe environment for clients to feel heard and empowered.

I am a bilingual therapist providing individual, family, group, and couple's counseling in both English and Spanish.

Years of experience have prepared me for working with adolescent issues, parenting issues, and mood disorders.

Are you looking for calm and peace in your life? Do feelings of anxiety or sadness interfere with your ability to live your life on your terms? I have been working in the medical & mental health field for over 25 years. I believe in a combined, holistic approach to treatment. Mental health services include assessment, diagnosis, therapy and referrals for medication consultation with psychiatrists as needed. I offer MBSR (mindfulness based stress reduction), trauma-informed yoga and Reiki services. I also work with Clients dealing with issues surrounding trauma and PTSD based on the work of Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with clinical experience working with children, adolescents and families in clinical and school settings. I help my clients learn skills that will help them become the inner self they aspire to be. My areas of focus include anxiety, eating disorders, oppositional defiant disorder, depression, mood disorders, family conflict, and trauma. I help provide a space that allows a person to be themselves without the pressures that society places on each of us.

I provide psychotherapy for adolescents, adults, and their families in order to decrease distress, enhance coping, and improve relationships. While I am a generalist, I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults who are navigating difficult transitions, emotions, and relationships. My goal is to create a safe place for my clients to address social and emotional issues that create distress, gain a greater understanding of their problems, and use their strengths to make positive changes. I also thoroughly enjoy working with older adults and those with chronic pain conditions.

As a mental health and addiction specialist, I provide psychotherapy to adolescents and adults of all ages.

I take an integrative approach to therapy using a variety of techniques, tailoring my approach to help clients improve their functioning, and begin positively transforming their lives.

I have over 25 years experience helping clients of all ages tap into their strengths to achieve their life's goals.

Prior to opening Palatine Ridge Counseling, I worked in an inpatient adolescent mental health program for 9 years. I graduated from Northwestern University's The Family Institute and I am currently serving as a private practitioner. I strive to offer hope to couples who are struggling with the aftermath of infidelity, the stress of child-rearing or the complications of financial strife or family of origin issues. I have extensive experience treating mood disorders, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation with empirically-supported techniques (combined with compassion and insight) to offer each client a personalized experience.

Life is full of challenges and while no one asks to struggle or feel bad, with the assistance of a therapist, one can get unstuck and live life in a more empowering, satisfying and peaceful manner. Concerns such as anxiety, depression, loss and grief, eating/body image, overthinking, relationship struggles, stress management and trauma can be treated. Children do not come with a manual on how to raise them; parenting becomes painfully more difficult when a child or teen struggles with such things as low self esteem, acting out, anxiety, academics, and following rules. I treat children, teens, and adults.

Many of us, from time to time, find that depression, anxiety or stress can cause us to get "stuck", where negative thoughts and unhelpful behavior patterns keep us from meeting the goals we wish to achieve, or enjoying our relationships to the fullest degree possible. I can help you move beyond those "stuck points", and to identify the obstacles and challenges in your way. I will help empower you to achieve your personal goals for a healthy, successful life. Together we will work to create a unique and specific plan, where you will develop new, positive patterns of thinking and behavior.

I have been working with adolescents for over 14 years. I am compassionate about getting them back on track. I want to get to know their strengths to help them navigate their world, meet their goals, and develop consistent healthy life choices. In session, we will utilize an interactive and solution-focused approach aimed at creating a safe environment to identify those obstacles, without judgement, and explore the core issues of the problem. My goal is to empower my clients to independently and constructively problem solve, create strategies to learn their potential, and to heal past mistakes for the future they desire.

I work with individuals to realize their potential for positive change. Too often, the drive for the life we want is stalled by shame, fear, and anxiety. Events in our past cause us to miss the promise of our future. Together, we will explore, identify and process your thoughts, feelings and behaviors to lead you towards a clear understanding of who you are and what you need to live the life you want.

I specialize in working with older adults and their families. I can provide care management or therapy or a mix of both. I can help identify resources. My goal is to work towards happiness and fulfillment at any stage in life.
