Hi! My name is Sarah and I specialize in Children and Families.

I work with client’s school age into adulthood with all types of life transitions. My primary interest include anxiety, depression , school struggles, behavioral disorders, family struggles and life transitions.

While I have experience working with clients who have problems dealing with anxiety, depression , self-esteem, anger management, and grief, my ideal client has a desire to change and improve their quality of life regardless of their presenting problem. However, change is difficult as we are resistant to it more often that not. I believe through the building of a genuine therapeutic relationship, people can be more open to change and growth. As human beings, connection and support are necessities, especially when we are trying to feel better.

At times we can experience pain, suffering, and troubles with coping and relationships. You may be feeling anxious, depressed , or unsure why things don't feel quite right. At any point, we have the opportunity to help ourselves, discover who we are, and find where we want to go. Engaging in therapy is a courageous act, and I believe therapy offers a place for true growth and transformation. Long-lasting and meaningful change will take time, but there is hope and possibility for a way forward. A strong and trusting therapeutic relationship between the client and therapist is the vehicle in which this change and healing can occur.

Does everything feel harder than it should be? Is your experience of depression , anxiety, shame and trauma interfering with your daily functioning? Do you notice your personal, romantic, work and family relationships suffering? I’m here to walk beside you as you move from simply surviving to actively thriving. My commitment to providing individuals and couples with a compassionate, non-judgmental space will begin to deepen your understanding of how you relate to yourself and others, and how patterns and behaviors act as barriers to living the life you would most like to live.

In a fast, busy, and ever-isolating world, it can feel challenging to stay in-tune with yourself and connected to what’s most important to you. Sometimes all we need is a listening ear, a space to process what life throws at us, and to remember that we’re not alone. As a therapist, I offer a non-judgemental space for expression, reflection, and reconnection. When you’re ready, we’ll work together to support your goals, identify and build on your strengths, and challenge you to live as your best self. I am an artist and an art therapist, so if you're game I'd love to incorporate creative elements into our work.

Compassion. Insight. Empowerment. I'm committed to blending clinical expertise with warmth and respect for each client's wisdom, to create a healing, growthful partnership. A hallmark of my approach is cultivating mindfulness: nonjudgmental, moment by moment awareness that promotes living more fully, less reactively, and making better use of one's resources. Whether addressing depression , anxiety, stress, past trauma or current relationships, I begin by creating a space of acceptance. Here, we cultivate insight: the ability to observe accurately, think clearly, and choose wisely. Together, we explore options, drawn from clinical scholarship, collective wisdom, and clients' evolving self-awareness.

Hello. My name is Daniel, and I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Illinois, where I have been providing mental health services for over 22 years. Regardless of background, financial status, or the countless other aspects of ourselves that make each of us unique, one universal fact that impacts us all is that life is inherently unpredictable. As such, we all face unexpected changes and events ranging anywhere between extremely positive and brutally challenging, all increasing our risk of feeling unprepared, isolated, and possibly overwhelmed, having no idea of what to do next.
