Anger Management Therapists in Cicero, IL

My goal as a trauma-informed psychotherapist is to provide evidence-based interventions for individuals who are struggling and seek to make positive changes in their lives. I believe that a therapeutic alliance can be an essential factor in the healing process; therefore, my commitment is to help and support individuals by providing a safe environment where feelings and thoughts can be expressed freely, without judgment. My focus is to guide you in empowering yourself to improve your mental health, and ultimately, your overall well-being.

Our life's work is helping clients achieve a better sense of self and happiness...more recently we've recognized that without good mental health providers, finding this balance in life can be more difficult and stressful. As a result, we tend toward an Integrative approach and help our clients transform into the people they want to be. We see each client as an individual with many parts to their identity. Utilizing a holistic and systemic approach we help clients reintegrate the parts of themselves to function better as individuals and within their systems. Our focus tends toward a systems based approach using behavior methods.

Life can be difficult and frustrating but I am adamant that finding a safe and affirming space in therapy shouldn’t be. Because of this, I strive to celebrate individuals’ identities and help them cultivate hope and meaning in their life. I use a collaborative and strengths-based approach to empower clients facing adversities and want to overcome challenges toward a life they desire. I particularly enjoy providing a supportive and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their feelings and honor their truth to welcome growth.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, I have spent numerous years working with individuals, couples and families ranging from adolescence through adulthood, with a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, chronic pain, stress management, PTSD, ADHD, adjustment to life changes and/or medical treatments, grief and loss issues; parenting concerns; couple issues; or problems coping with daily stress. If you have some of these concerns, you can experience emotional, mental and relational healing. I employ a collaborative, supportive and confidential approach to work together on your therapy goals.

Diving into the therapeutic process can often be overwhelming and perhaps daunting at times. It is definitely a big shift as it may require us to be vulnerable and open with our concerns to a stranger. I too have felt these similar feelings when beginning my own therapeutic journey. I have learned that looking for an ideal fit would mean finding someone who is compassionate, unconditional, empathic, and humorous. I would like to create the same safe, inviting, and accepting space for my clients. I hope to build a therapeutic relationship with you that is authentic, empathic, unconditional, transparent, and understanding.

All of us need help at some time. My clients tell me they feel understood but not judged when they meet with me - and that their own understanding of themselves and their challenges grows. But I know that effective therapy work must go beyond being cared about and understood. I bring a commitment to helping people change problems in their lives.

People seek out a counselor who can guide them--or their child--past their struggles to a better life. They want to get better sooner and stay better longer.

Some clients face coping with frustration, depression, anxiety, or relationship and family problems. For others, it's dealing with transitions such as divorce, loss and grief, school or relationship challenges, medical problems or job loss. And clients deserve great service.

In individual therapy, I emphasize a short-term, time-sensitive approach that is problem focused. During troublesome periods in our lives, powerful ideas about ourselves or about the world can become activated that result in our feeling anxious, sad or depressed. Relief comes from replacing these notions with a more realistic perception of our circumstances and ourselves. A principal goal of this approach is assist clients to learn how to become their own therapist, thereby preventing relapse and decreasing dependence on therapy or when appropriate medications.
