Therapists in Oak Brook, IL

My work is designed to help you transform challenges into growth promoting opportunities. As a clinician, teacher, researcher, supervisor and consultant, I'm fascinated by resilient processes-the ways that individuals, family systems and even organizations cope with and grow through adversity. I use a strengths-based, collaborative, lifespan approach to uncover and enhance competencies that will allow you to create a life in which you can flourish. Originally trained as a registered nurse, I bring a unique integrative perspective to my practice & for over 30 years, have specialized in the treatment of couples and families, particularly those challenged by illness and disability.

In the last few years, we have seen an increase in individuals experiencing stress, sadness, and frustration that can be harming their careers, relationships, health, finances, and life satisfaction. Whether it's feeling the need to be perfect, procrastinating tasks, disconnection within your marriage, distracted in thought, or feeling unmotivated to get out of bed in the morning, we can work together to identify origins of these issues and then solutions to healing. Reaching out for help can be the most difficult part of the healing journey and you don't have to do it all alone.

Do you live in a constant state of anxiety? Are you experiencing feelings of depression that you have difficulty managing? I am experienced in helping people find solutions to manage their life in a more positive light. I believe that the connection the therapist makes with the client is vital. That connection allows the client to open up and express their concerns to the therapist, and together they can discover strategies for improvement. I help clients work on symptom reduction and help them achieve the goals they want in their lives by creating small, achievable steps.

While in school, I was asked why I choose the field of psychology. I replied, "life doesn't need to be so painful". Finding relief isn't always easy. Life offers us many challenges that are not only difficult to face; but, even more painful to face alone.

I counsel: ADULTS in transition, personal development, trauma, depression, anxiety, impulse, and mood disorders. ADOLESCENCE: social anxiety, ocd, adhd/add, school issues/avoidance, self-harm, and issues with self-esteem.

I believe in tailoring the experience for each individual/couple, drawing upon multiple approaches for lasting results.
