Everyone wants to know that they matter and that they have worth. Sometimes life gets in the way and interferes with our ability to tap into our sense of belonging and being accepted as we are. Helping clients navigate through life issues and challenges and healing the deeper wounds that affect our day to day functioning is a passion of mine. What does it mean to be "healthy and whole"? Discovering this and working toward healing and thriving where you are at is a rewarding experience!

Let's face it—life and relationships can be tough. For some, building connections seems to come easily. You know who I'm talking about. The coworker with (a little too much) energy; the class clown who never fails to get a laugh; the relative who jumps at the chance to host the next family gathering. For others, connecting sparks anxiety that causes us to fall back on unhealthy patterns that thwart our relationship goals and create conditions for suffering.

Immigrating to a new country can have its own set of challenges. Depression, anxiety, substance abuse and adjustment difficulties can show up when trying to navigate a new country and a new culture. Being a child of immigrants presents another layer of struggle as you try to find a way to bridge the gap of understanding that you feel your family and community may not have. Communication difficulties can add to these problems. Therapy can provide the space for you to explore some of these challenges and find ways to connect back to yourself, your family and the larger community in a whole-hearted way.

Sometimes life makes it feel like there are limited options, and our feelings can be overwhelming. However, in the face of pain and suffering, we have the power to choose how to engage with these hardships. There is freedom to choose our responses, and moving forward with committed action is empowering. I would be happy to collaborate with you in the therapeutic process, to explore feelings, learning coping skills, and maintain healthy responses. In life we may feel content being still, making lateral moves, or at times pivoting. As we navigate your views of self, thriving, living we can face carpe diem, pluck the day.

Hi there! I am Christine :) I am a passionate-practicing LCPC in North Naperville. I have over 10 years of experience. I enjoy working with adults who have problematic relationships, childhood issues, and who feel stuck in their present life. It might be trauma, depression, anxiety, but whatever it is we can help you get "unstuck" together. I believe everyone has potential to help themselves, but sometimes we need some guidance. Many of us weren't taught how to deal with our emotions and feelings, and as a result, our adult lives suffer in ways we aren't educated to fix. I am here to help guide YOU to your BEST SELF.

My ideal clients are unsure and afraid of what their mental and emotional health journey may look like, but they do it anyway. Seeking help for your emotional health is no different than caring for your physical health. I have learned from my experiences as a parent, collaborating, and learning from countless diverse individuals and families … there is no right way to navigate difficult times. We all hold unique experiences and beliefs. I believe a collaborative approach that allows for exploring strengths, values, and culture aids in helping individuals and families navigate difficult times.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
