Therapists in Lisle, IL

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who has also a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor(CADC) and a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology(MCP). Much of my training has been centered in client-centered theory and I also have specialized training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In addition to being traditionally trained, I also incorporate​ a holistic, integrated approach toward psychotherapy which includes aspects of mindfulness and Eastern philosophy, providing individual, family and couples therapy as well as intervention work.

I believe therapy offers a hurting individual the opportunity to talk though, identify, and heal struggles that they are experiencing in the life. By using a person centered approach, I assist individuals, couples, and adolescents to feel whole again. I welcome all cultures, including first responders, frontline workers, and their families. I help clients develop coping skills that meet their individual needs to better understand themselves and the world they live in,

Many of the people that come to see me have in someway either lost their way in life and are tired of settling for the crumbs. Some come because of their lives have become out of balance and in some cases out of control in the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual areas. Others, because they are in a tremendous amount of emotional pain. My goal is to help you find a healthy way of dealing with whatever the issues, in effective ways, that are keeping you from reaching your highest potential and to heal the obvious and not so obvious wounds that might be preventing that from happening.

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.

Is your heart heavy from trauma or affected by childhood trauma, PTSD, C-PTSD, depression, anxiety, and dissociation? Are you feeling alone, and stuck in the past or abusive relationships? Do you feel unsafe or powerless even after the abuse is over? Are you feeling overwhelmed by struggles that use things to try to forget/numb? I understand how trauma leads to mental and behavioral challenges. Trauma history can stop you from living life as an authentic you as trauma may create fear-based reactions and self-defeated thoughts. I’m here to help you untangle some of your thoughts to find inner peace and heal wounded parts.

I am here to walk the journey alongside you. Life presents many challenges and adapting to a new "normal" is hard and perception can be glum. It feels like your sense of direction is confusing and uncertain. Relationships have lost their meaning, abundance and joy feel unattainable, and support stands at too far a distance for you to feel grounded in love and security.
