Aetna Therapists in Naperville, IL

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.

Hi there! I am Christine :) I am a passionate-practicing LCPC in North Naperville. I have over 10 years of experience.
