Hello and welcome. My name is Marie (they/she) and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor authorized to practice independently in the state of Illinois, USA. I am also a board-certified National Certified Counselor credentialed through the National Board for Certified Counselors. I obtained a Masters of Education in Community Mental Health Counseling from DePaul University.

Do you feel like no one truly knows you? Do you feel like if people knew the REAL you that you wouldn't be accepted or loved? Depression, shame, and anxiety are all common experiences as we reflect on our unwanted behavior, relational discord, past trauma, and family of origin. The motivation to change becomes all that much harder when you seek it out alone. You want to believe there is hope for a brighter day. Let's work together as we honor your resiliency and work towards healing because the question "what would you prefer?" is worth asking. You want to live a life of freedom. Let's boldly walk into that freedom together.

I am a relationship/intimacy-oriented therapist, in that I support individuals in rebuilding and repairing the connection they have with themselves, and within their external relationships. Topics explored in Sex/Relationship-Centered Therapy include: increasing emotional and/or sexual intimacy, discovering/reclaiming sexual pleasure, working through sexual shame, navigating desire discrepancies, sexual dysfunction, conflict management/communication, trust repair/infidelity, and ethical nonmongamy.

Together, we can work to create new solutions for dealing with emotional pain. Starting this process can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to. I have an up front, relatable style, and work to help clients improve their functioning, sense of well-being, and peace. Understanding and validation are key ingredients in my work, but sometimes we need to go deeper and challenge ourselves in order to find the peace we deserve. I can help facilitate this process, and reduce your fear. This work is best suited to treating Anxiety and Mood Disorders, Addictions - C-SAT, and Trauma.

My philosophy as a therapist is to treat each person as a unique individual worthy of unconditional acceptance, regardless of their circumstances or struggles. I desire to come alongside, challenge, and encourage my clients to find healing emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Counseling explores these roadblocks and helps the person remove obstacles to happiness so he or she can go on to lead a happy and more fulfilling life. Learning healthy patterns of behavior is necessary to achieve a more enriched and fulfilling life.

When your relationship is suffering, you're suffering. Oftentimes, terribly so. Maybe the partner you used to feel so close to now seems more like a distant stranger. Maybe a betrayal has left you outraged and alone. Maybe all the fighting and miscommunication makes you wonder at times what you ever saw in this person at all.

Do you and your partner love each other, but you're not lining up when it comes to sex and intimacy? If sex has become one more thing to cross off the To Do List . . . if one of you has a way lower drive than the other . . . or just wants more passion in your love life . . . reach out and let's talk! When left unchecked, sexual issues can become the elephant in the room and can even lead to the end of the relationship. I know this from personal experience! But, there is so much you can do to diagnose the real issues and get you back on the right track. Sometimes you just need a guide who has been down that road before.

Our perspective is that everyone's life has a story, and therapy is a way to identify and change that story to fit with your goals and values. Seeking therapy can be difficult, and we enjoy supporting people in finding their narrative and re-writing it the way they desire to fit their needs. As strength-based and client-centered therapists, we believe that meeting people where they are enables them to feel at ease and supported in the process. Helping others identify their innate strengths and using them is a large part of my philosophy. We are an anti racist practice and pride ourselves on being able to serve BIPOC populations.

Do you feel held back from achieving your full potential? Trapped by your problems? Your story doesn't end here. Let us help you write the next chapter.

Finding a therapist who matches your style is the most important step in this process. My approach to therapy is someone who will listen to you with an open ear and remain non-judgmental while pushing you outside of your comfort zone. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important piece of therapy. In life, you will encounter a lot of experiences that can leave you with feelings of uncertainty, overwhelmed, and overall dissatisfaction. The decision to seek therapy is a positive and courageous choice. As a therapist, I believe in bridging the gap that can ultimately lead you to be the best version of yourself.

Over the years, I have developed an eclectic perspective to therapy and utilize a unique combination of psychotherapy, mind-body awareness and hypnotic relaxation techniques, family systems therapy, emotion focused therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques. My wide range of knowledge and competency in various psychological theories allows me to be flexible in my treatment. I aim to revive my patients from the current positions in their lives and help bring in the much needed harmony and infused positivity that will allow my clients to progress in their minds, their mental health and their overall life.
