Therapists in Wonder Lake, IL

As a collaborative counselor, I create a therapeutic relationship that is genuine, warm, and non-judgmental. My approach is centered on considering the client as expert while working to help you reach stability, manage your challenges, and reach your goals. Coming from a cultural background where mental health is often stigmatized, I understand that seeking support can be difficult and therefore I aim to create a welcoming space for you ... a space of empowerment, improvement, and healing.

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.

Are you feeling alone in navigating your mental health struggles? Are you struggling with depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, spiritual crisis, or another issue where you feel stuck? I offer sensitive and responsive therapy to help you understand yourself better and navigate through challenging times. I have expertise in mental illness and approach your issues from a gentle, non judgmental place. I’ve worked in severe mental health settings, trauma research, and with refugees. I’ve also facilitated support groups in bipolar disorder and depression.

Seeking therapy is a chance to rebuild, strengthen, and change. Therapy can present an immense opportunity for growth; a process allowing you to change how you relate to others, strengthen how you view yourself, and rebuild how you experience life. I take an active approach in the therapy space, in both listening and teaching. Clients can expect to gain knowledge and skills needed to deal with life’s stressors and struggles. The collaborative process can help you identify goals, develop actionable steps, gain curiosity and compassion for your circumstances, and build a healthier relationship with yourself and the life you envision.

Let’s keep this simple. I’m a nice person just like you. I listen to intuitively help you improve your situation, whatever the case may be — 100% judgment free. You'll leave EVERY session feeling LIGTHER. Combined clinical training and holistic expertise provide integrated, effective, and rapid transformation. I CAN help if you're ready.
