Elders (65+) Therapists in 60467

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults/couples and seniors who come in with a variety of concerns such as: cancer diagnosis, social isolation, depression, anxiety, grief, anger, infidelity, cutting, suicidal ideations, and feelings of being overwhelmed. I am extremely knowledgeable in adolescent development. I believe in establishing a strong connection with my clients in order to be successful. I use a very personable and direct communication style that allows my clients to gain self-awareness, confront denial, improve irrational thinking, and establish coping skills to encourage healthy change.

In therapy, my style is to act as a Guide, not as an Expert. YOU are the expert on YOU! I believe that it is often problematic when others, (including Therapists), try to tell Clients what they should Think, Feel and Do. This is especially true, if they don't even really know you. My goal is to NEVER do this to YOU! I will always strive to give you the right to be yourself and to make your own choices, when YOU are ready! I will do my best to understand you and what is most important to you. I will support you in your efforts to be the person that you want to be and to have the life you want to live! This is My Promise To You!​

Life can often feel like an uphill battle, struggling to meet the many demands before us that can easily drain our energy and our joy. I have witnessed firsthand in both my professional and my personal life the ways in which life struggles can affect our mental health, and how mental health struggles can impact our ability to manage daily stressors and relationships. Seeking therapy can be a difficult step to take. I see therapy as a tool, among many, to support and create the change you desire for your life. I love guiding my clients as they learn to highlight their strengths, welcome new perspectives, and learn new ways to cope.

I believe that, without exception, every individual carries within, the capacity required for healing to occur. As a therapist, it is my honor and privilege to help clients and their families uncover and understand the meanings and feelings associated with their symptoms. Whether the primary client is a child, adolescent, or adult, I work collaboratively with couples/parents to create a treatment plan that is right for the family as a whole.

Do you sometimes feel like you’re disconnected, or feel like you don’t belong? Are you finding yourself overwhelmed by feelings of anxiety? Or perhaps relationship struggles or past traumas are not allowing you to live the life you want. You are not alone. Therapy is a powerful medium that can provide many tools and strategies to help you navigate all of these challenges and more. I pride myself on being open and accepting of everyone and have been fortunate to work with clients from all walks of life.

We’ve all experienced times when we just feel stuck, going through the motions of life rather than actually living our best lives. Anxiety, depression, addiction, low self-esteem, past trauma or many other issues can impact your ability to live a full and happy life and have healthy family and other relationships. Therapy is a powerful medium that can provide many tools and strategies to help you navigate all of these challenges and many more. I enjoy working with child/adolescent, adult, and geriatric populations using a variety of therapeutic techniques including CBT, DBT, 12-Step, Trauma-Informed, and Family Systems Therapy.

Insecurity, poor self confidence, anxiety, depression, health issues, stress, relationship issues, grief, worry, loneliness, and feeling completely overwhelmed can be difficult. Making changes to your life is a big step and you do not have to do it alone. Therapy is a collaborative conversation designed to better understand you and your life, which can help you achieve the sense of well-being to overcome anxiety/depression, gain deeper self-worth, shift self sabotaging behaviors, build confidence, attract healthy relationships, and create healthy boundaries.
