Therapists in Chicago, IL

Your journey toward healing starts with a choice to seek assistance. As your therapist, I will walk alongside you to start what I call “A Time to Heal”.

Life can bring great challenges, and also incredible joys. Sometimes the challenges can feel overwhelming. In difficult times, it's critical to create a solid emotional foundation to allow you identify your path. My goal as a clinician is to restore balance when you are struggling with tough emotions, or a difficult situation. I believe that as with physical pain, emotional pain is a clear message that something in your life needs attending to. By taking time to reflect and heal, you can regain a sense of clarity, purpose and peace.

Warm wishes and kudos to you for reaching out in this time of such uncertainty. I know all too well how uncertainty in the future and loss of control can contribute to anxiety and feelings of defeat. I have over 10-yrs of experience supporting individuals and couples in the midst of crisis and loss of control. While each circumstance is unique and will vary, please be assured that you are not, and do not have to navigate this alone. Whether it’s loss of purpose, lack of direction or feeling an overall loss of control, I will partner with you to identify your goals and reach fulfillment while gaining a sense of relief along the way.

Life is challenging and seems to grow more challenging by the day.

I offer both a space to explore feelings as well as solutions to the challenges we face.

Our relationships lay at the core of our happiness. Yet, inherent within all relationships is change. Factors, such as unresolved past trauma, conflicts, skill deficits, etc…could introduce forces that either strengthen, renew, or erupt and even break, our relationships -- all depending on how these stresses are handled. If you are struggling with pain, discouragement, or panic feelings, most likely your suffering is linked to issues of your family or of your personal relationships. You can resolve these issues, no matter how traumatic they are. You can be free from your pain. Please read my website. Contact with email preferred!
