Therapists in Lisle, IL

There are many individuals who, at some point in their lives, will experience trauma. Often causing a myriad of ripple effects, trauma occurs in different ways for each person- such as depression, anxiety, co-dependency, negative self-image, and unhealthy family dynamics/relationships. Whether it stems from childhood, medical or mental health struggles, relationships, or specific events, there are various origins of trauma in our stories. I have experience walking alongside individuals to uncover how trauma changes one's mindset to aid them in getting to the root of unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors.

My professional experience best equips me to work alongside teens and adults through their personal stories of anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, and relationships to find growth through healing. I've continued to see the strength of resiliency in every individual and their capacity to motivate change. And I look forward to the opportunity to support new clients within the current chapter of their lives.

Sick of dating jerks? Are you afraid of missing the red flags? I specialize in helping women heal from narcissistic and emotionally abusive relationships. These toxic relationships lead to self doubt, negative self talk and a lost sense of self. Isn't it time to find confidence, heal from the past and learn to love yourself so that you can have healthy relationships? Therapy can help you find ways to find relief so that you can be more in control of your life. My passion is helping my clients truly believe they are good enough and deserve more! Is it possible. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

As a high achiever, you rarely make time to prioritize yourself. Though you have accomplished many things, there are still feelings of worthlessness, imperfection, or "not enough" nagging at you. You want to be happy, but joy and contentment feels uncomfortable and you rarely take time to celebrate your wins. You feel disconnected from your friends and family, and wonder how everyone else is so happy when you feel like an imposter at work, in your relationship, or as a parent.

I enjoy empowering people of all ages to create a unique path that will accentuate their strengths while also providing support and space to address any obstacles that may block their progress.

Whether you have a young child just starting this journey or have many different life experiences, I believe that investing in yourself through therapy, self-care, and introspection will lead to a much happier and authentic life. ​
