Do you know that everyone feels overwhelmed from time to time? Balancing the demands of life, family, and work can be challenging. I have PhD and MSW from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I am a highly trained therapist with experience helping people recover and achieve their personal and professional goals. My approach is filtered through a diverse lens that views all clients as having the ability to work through challenges. Sometimes all you need is a little help to move forward. I know seeking therapy can feel scary, but you are making the right decision. Contact me today so we can discuss how therapy can help you.
Building upon your strengths and past coping mechanisms will help you develop better ways of managing stress and conflict. There are many interventions such as meditation, cognitive behavioral, family systems, and solution-focused therapy that can be used to tackle the issues affecting your emotional well-being.
We will have a conversation. First sessions are often spent introducing who I am, talking about my experience and asking if they have questions about myself and/or about therapy. I then spend the session getting to know what brings them to therapy at this time.
