Therapists in Oak Brook, IL

Therapy is hard work but it’s worth it because it starts with choosing yourself and being intentional about how you want to live your life. While we may come to therapy in a time of hardship, we all have strengths that we can use a foundation for growth. There’s no one-size-fits-all therapeutic approach so I use a blend of approaches including DBT, CBT, ACT, Mindfulness, Expressive Arts, and Play/Narrative therapies. I also understand how systemic forces shape our realities, and I help clients recognize these forces and develop skills to cope.

Are you struggling with relationships, whether they're in the workplace, intimate, personal, or within your family? Have you grown up in a dysfunctional family environment that has left you grappling with emotional scars? Do you find it challenging to establish healthy boundaries, often falling into the people-pleasing trap? If any of these resonate with you, then you've come to the right place.

We provide evidence-based CBT/Exposure Therapy for anxiety disorders, specializing in social anxiety, selective mutism, separation anxiety, panic disorder, & related issues. The goal is to live a valued life in the presence of anxiety and, to do this, we treat the anxious-avoidance cycle you may find yourself in. Anxious avoidance is when a person avoids something that makes them anxious (which is normal and expected). However, when avoidance interferes with your life and keeps you from living out your goals, that’s when avoidance (not anxiety) becomes problematic. We are specialists who can help you learn how to approach vs avoid.

How often do you say to yourself, “I feel stressed or overwhelmed.”? In today’s fast-paced world we have less time in our daily life to process our experiences and feelings.

I specialize in helping individuals cope with the difficult emotions and lifestyle changes that often go along with coping with health problems, chronic illnesses and in particular, heart disease. When facing a new diagnosis, a negative health event (such as stroke or heart attack) or adjusting to a major surgery, it is common for people to experience emotional distress and disruptions to their sleep, appetite and quality of life. Often these are normal reactions that get better after a short while, but at times these stresses can persist and make recovery and health management more difficult than need be.

"In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or step back into safety" (Abraham Maslow). Deciding to make changes in one's life takes courage. For many of us life can be difficult. Whether it's addiction, depression, relationship issues or just the fears and insecurities of life, we all have challenges we must face. Therapy is meant to be a safe place where we are able to find courage to walk through these challenges and to find real hope with practical help.

We often label the challenges that life presents as failures or successes; I believe that the challenges are what hold the opportunity to learn and grow. I believe therapy works best when there is a good fit between a client and their therapist. In my role, this involves being flexible, supportive, open and transparent in order to help you define and work towards your goals.
