Therapists in Tinley Park, IL

Sometimes we don't know what we want in life, we just know we want something different! Are there parts of your life that have become unmanageable or difficult and want some professional feedback? Have you thought your life would be different than what it is? To meet the changing demands of our lives we must find ways to grow and change because life is a series of transitions. It turns out we can find new and exciting parts of ourselves as we go through these life challenges and changes. Loss and adversity is a part of life, but it can be the architecture for a better life, it just depends how we view it and use it!

The decision to enter into therapy can be difficult and scary. I try to make this process less stressful and put individuals at ease. I meet every individual where they are at in the process of change and strive to provide a warm, safe, and supportive environment. I feel very passionate about the importance and value of therapy because I believe every individual can benefit from therapy at some point in his or her life. I work with individuals to help them make changes that will move them closer to feeling better and living the life he or she desires.

Something feels off. You can’t quite put your finger on it; but some “shit” feels weird. You don’t feel like you can trust people so you isolate yourself from others because being fake feels phony to you. You are tired of fighting; but you can’t give up because there is a constant thought in your head “Who is going to take care of my child(ren)?” Nobody. So, you shake it off and keep pretending like everything is fine.

I value the human heart, soul, and spirit. I am a seasoned psychotherapist with 25 years of clinical practice. I am aware that we all experience times of darkness, and deep sorrow.

My caseload is currently full and I am no longer accepting new clients. I will update when openings occur. For the past 30 years I have helped individuals, couples and families with a wide variety of issues. My treatment style is straightforward. My job is to not only listen but to understand problems from a different perspective. Often clients in dealing with issues on their own have little success because they do not know the source of underlying cause of the problem. Once we can identify those issues we can begin to establish concrete plans to achieve the kind of well-being and relationships clients are searching for.

We all face times when we know we want something different for ourselves, but we don’t exactly know what. We know that the world is changing, that we might need to change too, or maybe even learn how to tolerate uncomfortable feelings that change can bring. Maybe there are parts of your life that feel unmanageable or downright difficult. Change can feel overwhelming, and at the same time we can experience new and exciting parts of life as we go through these transitions and challenges.

As we deal with life events, our relationships and even we ourselves continue to change during our lifetime. These changes may leave us feeling lonely, anxious, angry or depressed. It's during these times that considering therapy might prove helpful. It's the first step in making positive changes for yourself that takes courage and determination.

Trauma can make you feel like someone has robbed you of your innocence, purpose, sense of belonging, your voice, and ability to feel safe in your own body. You might be searching for a sense of control, but feeling completely powerless. You escape into activities or relationships in order to feel anything at all and other times to make the feelings stop all together. You may have developed parts of yourself in order to survive, but what would life look like if you could shed old scripts and truly live a life that’s worth living?
