Codependency Therapists in Naperville, IL

My original purpose in becoming a psychologist was to understand how to help children who are hurting. I serve children and adolescents who are struggling with a wide variety of concerns, often trauma, depression, anxiety, or self-injury. Of course this also involves support and guidance for their parents. I enjoy using this same developmental perspective to help adults who are struggling with the impact their childhood now has on them, for instance addressing codependency , boundaries, or experiences of childhood abuse. It is a joy to see clients discovering and blossoming into who they are created to be.

If you are looking for a traditional therapist - I am not for you. I get it; you've gone to therapy before and did not get the results you were hoping to achieve. The truth is, finding a good therapist is not easy. You want someone who can help you create the changes you have not been able to do independently. You've read self-help books, watched numerous YouTube videos, listened to dozens of podcasts, even attended retreats/seminars to level up, but the changes were not long-lasting. That is where I can help.

I believe everyone needs and deserves a safe space to address barriers preventing them from navigating through life the way they desire, thus I seek to foster safe and comfortable environments for those oppressed and marginalized. Living in unprecedented times, it is especially important to have support, awareness, and knowledge of effective coping skills to manage life's stressors. I believe it’s also important to process the lives we’ve already experienced and explore how this cultivates our current worldview.
