Life Coaching Therapists in Chicago, IL

I am a firm believer that making the decision to address your issues takes a great deal of courage and bravery. Many of us come from circumstances or environments that encourage us to push through pain by burying it, outworking it, or avoiding it. While these coping skills help us to survive, they don't necessarily encourage us to thrive. As a therapist with psychodynamic training and extensive life coaching experience, it is important to me that our sessions focus on identifying where core issues are coming from, encourage collaborative problem solving, as well as create space for intentional goal setting.

It's my belief that you can't help how you feel, but you can help what you do about it. By enhancing your state of mind, and investing in a better relationship with yourself you can make a lasting improvement in your life . Through the development of a professional, safe, empathic and fulfilling relationship with my clients I'm able to provide exceptional counseling services to adults, children, teens & their families dealing with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, stress, social anxiety, life transitions and adjustment difficulties, self-esteem, work- life balance, grieving, infertility issues, ADHD & others.

Many people struggle with finding who they really are. The self is intricately and beautifully complex. Ignoring any aspects of who we are always results in destructive consequences. Respecting your full humanity by acknowledging your emotional, social, intellectual, physical, & spiritual self will take you on a vulnerable, difficult, and yet fully rewarding journey.

I hold a PsyD. from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology. I also have a Masters from the Chicago school of Professional Psychology.

Working to alleviate your distress, my focus is to guide you to take the necessary steps towards greater fulfillment, meaning, and an overall sense of well being.

Sometimes it is time to just stop. Stop believing that voice in your head that is so demanding, so critical, so unkind. Stop running, stop fighting, stop avoiding, stop numbing. Sometimes it is time to start. Start waking up, start feeling more alive, start coming home, start loving yourself and others more deeply than ever before. Becoming more present in this constantly beeping and flickering culture of ours is the major personal challenge of the 21st century. Feelings of joy and contentment take place now, not in the future or the past. Experiencing your feelings fully is the key to opening the door to a more satisfying life .
