Therapists in Arlington Heights, IL

Experiencing feelings of dysregulation, sorrow, overwhelm, fear, anger, and exhaustion is an inherent aspect of being human, and addressing these experiences can seem daunting. The therapeutic journey equips us to navigate our relationship with our bodies, emotions, experiences, and interpersonal connections, and address deep sources of pain and fear that can often arise merely from existing in this world. Through MCBT, ACT, and Somatic lenses, I want to help you understand yourself and your challenges deeply enough on all levels to invoke acceptance, understanding, and the most difficult of all, change.

As a parent, you want your child to be happy and successful. You want a calm, peaceful home where everyone feels safe and comfortable. If your child is sad, irritable, withdrawn, isolating, not sleeping, complaining of stomachaches or headaches, not getting the grades you know they can achieve or they just don't seem like themselves, our team of child and adolescent therapists will do everything in their power to help your child get back on track and feel better. Our therapists are easy to relate to and they get good results.

Our life's work is helping clients achieve a better sense of self and happiness...more recently we've recognized that without good mental health providers, finding this balance in life can be more difficult and stressful. As a result, we tend toward an Integrative approach and help our clients transform into the people they want to be. We see each client as an individual with many parts to their identity. Utilizing a holistic and systemic approach we help clients reintegrate the parts of themselves to function better as individuals and within their systems. Our focus tends toward a systems based approach using behavior methods.

Whether you are feeling sad, anxious, or frustrated, I am passionate about helping my clients move away from their current struggles and get closer to where they want to be. I work with individuals, couples, and families, and help them to recognize and deconstruct old patterns that are no longer serving them. With a safe and supportive environment, we can explore the unique experiences of your life and assist you in finding ways to heal from the past.

My hope for our work together is that you are able to reach inside yourself and nurture the damaged parts of who you have been and move toward becoming the person you want to be. I have over thirty years of experience working with all forms of trauma (particularly early childhood attachment), chronic medical illness, immigrant realities, grief and loss, adoption, brain injury, shame, guilt, anxiety, depression and other forms of human struggles.
