Female Therapists in Lombard, IL

We all go through adverse life experiences that can take a toll on our emotional well-being. The stress of the past can sometimes end up following us and continuing to drive how we feel and the decisions we make. However, these hardships that we go through do not have to end up hindering our functioning and stagnating our growth. I also specialize in depression, self-esteem, anxiety, women and cultural issues. I have expertise in working with individuals who have experienced physical, emotional and/or sexual trauma or neglect during their childhood.

In my practice, I work with men and women , individuals and couples. I focus largely on the dynamics and the contexts in which people live, both in their current relationships and in the ones that helped to shape them. I help people through the transitions of their lives, through loss and "stuck" places, past the obstacles to achieving meaning in life and intimacy in relationships. I work in a cognitive/directive and very open personal style.

I believe that getting to the root of the problem--not just managing symptoms-- is key to transformation. I enjoy being part of the healing process; empowering people to discover their own capacity for growth and change. I believe each of us already holds the keys to our highest good. I have helped a range of people, men, women , teens, and members of the LGBTQ community, examine their lives from new perspectives and discover new solutions. I would love to help YOU blossom! My passion is helping people navigate a path to safety, wholeness & healing.

I believe the path to self-discovery and healing involves peeling back the layers of your old self. I will support you to shed the pain of difficult experiences, release unwanted thinking patterns and habits, leaving you empowered. I often incorporate experiential techniques that are dynamic and transformative without the constraints of traditional talk therapy alone. You are the expert in your experiences and together with my approach you will be able to create a future you desire. ****Se ofrece terapia en Español.

You are stronger, braver, and more resilient then your mind gives you credit for; but sometimes those thoughts and feelings can overwhelm us to the point where we lose ourselves and the things and people we value most. As a therapist, my goal is to allow you to see your emotions and thoughts as just that and to reestablish the connection between your unique and individual values and the behaviors that support these. We as humans are all susceptible to emotional pain, but how we deal with this pain- be it the pain of change, loss, or inexplicable anxiety and hopelessness- can define whether we evolve from these or stay stuck in it.

There is value in finding a therapist that is right for you! My commitment is that no matter where you are, where you came from, or where you're headed, you can live a life filled with purpose, grace, and ease.

I provide clinical supervision to pre-licensed (LPC) clinicians. As a supervisor, I enjoy working with clinicians who are passionate about learning. Each clinician has an individual process by which they gain professional skills, clarify their counseling style and identity, and develop the self as the best tool for clinical work. Supervision is formated around these individual goals, while also focusing on critical competencies for clinicians. This process is exciting and challenging, and I enjoy helping newer clinicians on their journey.

Ask yourself these three questions... 1) Am I happy? 2) Am I doing what's best for me? 3) Am I in control of my life?

I am the owner of LNC (Lombard NeuroPsychological Center- "Where Mind Meets Science") and I specialize in pediatric and adult testing and therapy services. LNC is known for providing drug-free and cutting-edge therapy services- such as brain training (neurofeedback), especially to children whose brains are still developing and changing. We also provide testing services with brain mapping technology. The information obtained from our evaluations can be one of the most valuable and informative tools because it helps deepen the understanding of yourself or your child. More importantly, it guides the direction of your treatment.

I believe in the importance of meeting people where they are in the moment - not asking you to feel, look, or act like someone you are not. My therapeutic approach is centered around providing a caring space where you can safely share your thoughts free from judgement. I invite you to slow down and explore your values, emotions and life experiences to help gain a deeper understanding of yourself and relationships, including recognizing patterns that contribute to stress and anxiety. Together, we can begin the process of increasing self-awareness, practicing self-acceptance, and building practical skills to cope with life’s issues.
