Humana Therapists in Homewood, IL

'Difficult roads lead to beautiful destinations." Do you feel stuck or lost? Are you seeking to find a way to manage your life transitions? Do you feel overwhelmed with stress or anxiety due to trauma, family problems, interpersonal relationships? Would you like to find ways to build your resilience? These struggles can become a barrier in one's life with work; school; and family. It is my belief that trials come to build you or make you stronger. I believe I can assist you in finding ways to cope and find strategies to manage these situations we call LIFE. I would like the opportunity to help you find your voice and truth.

People have a need to be understood and validated as they navigate through life. Everyone experiences different pitfalls in their lives. It is the manner in which we interpret those experiences that shapes one's perception of themselves. Whether you are experiencing downs or anxiety - unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to live. Therapy can help you reframe those experiences and see how all adversities have a purpose for your future self.

Under the best of circumstances life is not easy. Sometimes we face challenges in our lives and just need someone to listen, care about, and guide us. There's always hope for change and if you are willing to put in the work, there is someone willing to help and that someone is me. Having the courage to take the pathway of change is the first step. Together lets work to make a difference.

You cant seem to make decisions even though you know how. You try to stay focused, but your mind is spinning. Anxiety and thoughts that you aren’t good enough surface, you feel defeated. You used to feel like you were on track, but somewhere something happened and now you cant “adult”. You don’t put yourself first, no one taught you. Your partner’s needs go before yours; you entertain people who aren’t right. You ask yourself, how do other people do this? Meanwhile I’m forgetting/avoiding important tasks and I’m not the person I wanted to be by now”? Everyone thinks that your life is together. They have no idea of your truth.

Can you believe this is your life? You once had goals. Now they’re pushed to the side. You tell yourself: “I’ll get to those next month." Years have gone by, and you’re in the same place. Not only have you lost touch with your dreams, but the passion you once had is gone. The job you secretly want to quit feels like your only shred of security. But are you really secure? Or just comfortable? You used to love that job. Now it feels like a chore. With every task, you find yourself growing more resentful. What happened? How did this become your life?

We work with a diversity of people, all ages, who deal with a variety of life stressors. Job/school stress, mounting anxiety, persistent sadness, parent-child problems, divorce, panic, LGBTQ concerns, life transition, and grief and loss are among the issues we most commonly work with. Our approach to therapy is first to really understand you as an individual - your goals, your areas of concern, your family, your job environment, etc. Sometimes, we find diagnostic tools helpful in clarifying issues and generating therapy goals. We work to hear and understand your needs so together we can improve the problems.

Life can be tough, add significant life transitions and you have a beautiful challenge, that deserves to be celebrated. The positive thing is that you don't have to navigate this adventure by yourself. My passion is empowering my clients to see their strengths and their ability to handle different stages of their lives. I believe in developing a supportive therapeutic relationship with my clients and view it as a partnership. I believe therapy should be a place where they can be comfortable to be themselves and come as they are.

At some point in life, most of us face challenges that are too overwhelming or challenging to handle on our own. Counseling is a wonderful way to get support, guidance, knowledge, and perspective around these issues, and it can make the difference between struggling and thriving. As a counselor, my goal is to help people through their challenges and struggles, and get to a place where they are happier, healthier, and stronger. I provide a warm and welcoming presence where you will feel comfortable addressing your struggles, and together we can create solutions you can use to live a happier and healthier life.

There are many events that occur in life that cause one to feel unbalanced. This may be one of those challenging times for you. Stress, frustration, anxiety, hurt, depression, and loneliness can be difficult and unpleasant.

Your identity and purpose are important to living a meaningful and fulfilling life. Unfortunately, life's challenges and unexpected obstacles can make you question who you are and what your purpose is. It can leave you feeling stuck and in need of additional support. An opportunity to get connected to your meaning and purpose and receive the support you need to live a meaningful and fulfilling life is through therapy.

The journey called life can be very painful. It has been one of the greatest rewards of my life to see people who have been negatively impacted by relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns turn their situation around . The power to change our life course, habits, and perceptions sometimes appears to be a never ending struggle. I indeed applaud you for reaching out because it reaffirms that people are not giving up and giving in to their situations.

I believe change is possible even in times of turmoil. I have devoted my career to working with clients looking for new beginnings, responding to trauma, and healing. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), life transitions including death, divorce, unemployment, women and couple's issues, and motivational coaching.
