Teen Therapists in Palos Hills, IL

We all want to be healthier versions of ourselves and improve our overall wellbeing. Most of the time we tend to concentrate only on focusing on our physical health. While this is important it's not the only component of well-being we should be improving. To achieve lasting health we need to understand the importance of the body, mind and soul and how they work together to build our overall wellbeing. A healthy body keeps you well and active, a healthy mind keeps you focused and engaged, a healthy soul keeps you fulfilled and content.

Deciding to come to therapy can be very scary. Sharing your most intimate thoughts with someone can be even more frightening.

"The best predictor of human happiness is the quantity and quality of our relationships", Dr. Christine Carter.

Therapy can be a transformative process that allows people to learn about themselves, achieve vast growth, and create a well-rounded life. I work to provide a comfortable and engaging environment to help clients build upon their strengths and improve their lives. Life has many transitions and stressors that can weigh us down. I aim to meet clients where they are and build a foundation for clients to thrive through various therapeutic techniques.

I see psychotherapy as a collaborative process. From this perspective, I have developed an individualized approach in which the relationship provides a safe place where feelings and behavior can be explored. Often, current struggles have developed over time so that connections can be made to past experiences. With this understanding a person can begin to make changes which lead to greater satisfaction and happiness. I bring a solid eclectic knowledge base to the process, drawing on individual dynamics, relationship dynamics, and an understanding of human development throughout the life cycle. I work with individuals, couples, and adolescents (including their families).
