"Challenges arise throughout life. At times you may feel stuck, lost, misunderstood, or disconnected. This can lead to anxiety, sadness, and frustration. I work with young adults and teens in various transitions in their lives who are struggling, and believe relief from such negative places is possible. Maybe you're trying to navigate relationships with family, friends, or co-workers; or trying to establish a healthy personal or professional relationship. Maybe you're trying to manage different personalities at work. Or, maybe you're a new parent trying to manage your changed relationship with your partner, and raise a child."

"Do you find it so difficult to focus that it interferes with your work, school, or relationships? Do you or your child become easily distracted? Is it really hard to remain organized despite your best efforts? Inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity are three common problems associated with ADHD, which affects about 5% of children and adults. It is much more serious than just having trouble concentrating. ADHD creates real difficulties for children and college students at school, presents barriers to adults' success at work, and strains relationships between people with ADHD and those who care about them."

"While they are a vital part of our lives and can bring us so much joy - relationships are complex! Think about it - although people spend years learning and practicing most key skills, many people have had limited opportunity learning about relationships and emotional skills. I work with people who are often very successful in many aspects of their lives, but who get stuck in emotional or relational patterns. They know they desire for things to be different and more satisfying but are not quite sure how to get there. That's where therapy can be a powerful platform for change!"

"The other day, I was chatting with someone who knew very little about psychotherapy, and she asked me if being a therapist meant I could read minds. I can't, of course, never could and most likely never will. But, as an experienced therapist, with many years of practice, training and education, I feel we develop a sort of sixth sense, if you will,using understanding of underlying issues, empathy and perceptiveness. I use these skills to help my clients see themselves, their relationships and their situations more clearly. Knowledge is power."

"While life's challenges and transitions are often times when we feel greater anxiety and stress, I believe they are also opportunities for self-understanding and growth. Whether you are dealing with stress in relationships or at work, feeling worn out or depressed, or struggling to cope with a loss, you don't have to work through it alone. I strive to provide a safe, supportive and reflective environment where clients can feel comfortable to explore their concerns, feelings, and relationship patterns and build upon their strengths to develop different ways of understanding, coping, and relating to themselves and others."

Thus, my goal is to help you realize the power of the mind and to discover how our thoughts about ourselves and the world around us impact our feelings, relationships and overall health.

"I find that people seek counseling for a variety of reasons: 1. Crisis (arrest, divorce, job loss). 2. Tackle a chronic problem with addiction (sex, alcohol, drugs)., 3. Face the effects of life trauma (assault, abuse, neglect, loss), 4. Reduce fear, anger, anxiety, stress, or sadness, and 5. Increase success, love, and enjoyment. Basic unmet needs become layered with complicated feelings and behaviors over the course of life. For many, counseling significantly improves the success rate in responding to these needs. Together, we can find a path to healing and to living life more fully."

"I am passionate about helping people build a healthy relationship with self and with others. I believe that we all possess unique strengths.

"Your experiences and perceptions are real because they're yours. When you feel a certain way, it is significant, even if others may suggest that what's on your mind is "really not that big of a deal." If your instinct is telling you something doesn't feel right, you deserve a chance to explore that. I want to explore those ideas with you, and provide a space where you feel comfortable talking about whatever you want in a safe and judgment-free zone."

Family / Marital Therapists
Therapists in 60661 using the techniques of 'family therapy' work with families or couples both together and individually to help them improve their communication skills, build on the positive aspects of their relationships, and repair harmful or negative dynamics.
As an approach to therapy, 'family therapy' (also referred to as family systems therapy, marital therapy, marriage therapy, marriage and family therapy, marital therapy and family counseling) views change in terms of the systems of interaction between family members or couples.
Family relationships often affect psychological well-being and, regardless of the origin of an issue, or whether it may be the "individual" or "family" who is presenting it, involving the family in the solution can be of great benefit. Families participate directly in sessions during which the family therapist helps conversations in a way that draws upon and builds the strengths, wisdom and support of the wider family unit.
