I have a strong background working with
women
and families during the childbearing years, which is a time that brings great change for everyone.
Life brings many changes, and sometimes these changes can throw us off track. It helps to talk with someone who is objective in order to gain perspective, sort through what is confusing, and identify new ways of thinking, feeling and behaving. Are you struggling to cope with stress, life change, sadness or depression, loss, relationship issues or other such challenges? Would you like to break old habits and learn new ways to cope? I can be your co-pilot.

Sometimes life's problems can seem overwhelming, or make us feel stuck in place. I would enjoy helping you find a way beyond whatever is holding you back. Even as losses seem to block or narrow our paths forward, I have to believe that exciting challenges and possibilities continue to draw us onward, if we can hold fast to the notion that we humans, working together, are forever capable of growth and change. I can especially help you with aging, transitions, depression, anxiety, trauma, and religious/existential issues, as well as affirmative approaches to LGBTQI+ concerns.

People often come to therapy seeking strength and motivation to improve their lives and simply to feel better. I will work with you to discover and connect with what motivates you in a warm and practical atmosphere that supports self-acceptance, growth and confidence in your own unique abilities. A strong connection with self (values, boundaries, strengths, wants and needs) is the foundation for our meaningful connections with others. Trauma, life transitions, and the general messiness of life can sometimes require us to re-connect with self in new ways. I believe talk therapy can provide the space to create these new connections.

I strive to a provide down to earth and accessible environment that will foster a confidential professional relationship, which in turn provides a solid foundation for personal growth. A client best suited for my practice will be someone who wants to be heard and accepted, and someone who appreciates feedback, observation, and validation.

In my work, I like to combine short-term approaches that will help you figure out how to feel better now with long-term approaches designed to take a closer look at some repeating patterns and their origins to bring lasting changes to your life. Most clients I see in my practice experience some sort of dissatisfaction in their relationships. This could significantly impact their life satisfaction. Whether it is a relationship with a romantic partner, parent, friend or boss, there are always ways to make changes in order to bring more happiness into your life however challenging this task might be.

The past two years have been difficult and confusing. Sorting out new priorities can be confusing, and may be a source of stress for you and possibly your partner as well. An outside perspective can help with solutions. I specialize in relationships and stress management ( they sometimes go together!). Cognitive therapy plus the Gottman method of couple therapy will help you remember why you fell in love. Life doesn't have to be so hard!

As a counselor I am committed to creating a healthy, working relationship with my clients that promotes growth and identity development within an individual as well as the family. I have had extensive training in working with individuals and families who have exceptionalities outside the normative view of the human condition. This can range anywhere from gifted individuals to people with physical disabilities. I provide a very proactive, creative, and exploratory approach for my clients to seek out who they truly are and how I can help them to live a life that is a good fit for them.

I work to create an atmosphere that is safe for my clients. I may use humor, ask more questions, make comments. As we progress, I will suggest new ways to approach situations and problems. Sometimes I teach my clients relaxation techniques. We talk. I listen. Sometimes I teach or even pray with my clients. In my office, folks are invited to be direct, to be honest, and to know that there will be no judgment of them for revealing their "dark side." Their challenge is reveal who and what they are. Mine is to make it safe.

What type of Park Ridge mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.
