Psychosis Therapists in Tinley Park, IL

All people go through struggles, but not everyone reaches out for help. One of the hardest things to do is reach out and ask for support. I believe with the right therapist, you can express yourself freely without fear of judgement or bias. I believe that no two people are alike and therefore each person deserves an individualized approach, at any age in your life. I strive to provide a therapeutic experience of connection and relatedness that supports each individual’s unique development of self-awareness, insight, and ability to change.

Are you experiencing feelings of frustration from various situations and people, struggling with a rollercoaster of emotions, and feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands? Counseling can help in exploring these feelings and other areas in your life that may be hindering you from moving forward. Collaborating with a therapist who is motivated in helping to explore emotions, strengths, and develop realistic strategies can be beneficial.

When life becomes unfocused, or the weight of stress too much to carry, it is the resilient who seek clarity and work to better distribute the weight. It is the evolutionary elite who are able to view change and stress as an opportunity for growth and adaptation.

Applying theoretical application into practice varies from person to person as I assess, analyze, and evaluate the “self” through one on one counseling, therapy, observation, active listening, communication, surveys, and much more through clinical intervention and exploration. My main focus is YOU within a deep, empathic, and respectful atmosphere TOGETHER we can discover who the “SELF” truly is. Displaying a welcoming non- judgmental environment while setting the primary goal to establish a therapeutic alliance through confidentiality, empathic understanding, unconditional positive regard, respect, and dignity.

Therapeutic success occurs when there is a trusting relationship between the client and therapist. That trust is fostered under the guidance of a skilled therapist, in a warm and non-judgmental environment, where a client can feel emotionally safe and secure. With over 25 years experience practicing psychotherapy, my focus is to create that safe and secure environment and to skillfully guide clients in resolving the issues that hinder them from living and working to their fullest ability.

I work with clients of all ages (youth, adolescents, adults) in helping them process through various life stressors, including trauma/PTSD, anxiety, mood disorders, behavioral/social issues, sexual assault/abuse, domestic violence, self-esteem, ADHD, marital/relationship issues, grief and more. By focusing on personal strengths rather than shortcomings, I help clients recognize healthy coping skills to overcome obstacles, develop solutions and achieve their goals. I value the importance of therapeutic alliances between myself and clients and believe it is important the client is the driver of their treatment journey with my support.

In our lives, the journey we travel each day can be quite overwhelming, terrifying, feeling isolated, or too difficult to carry. You could be consumed persistently with worry and concern for self or others. Have you found that feelings of joy and happiness are not within reach due to significant changes or loss in your life? Have you reached a point where you have a feeling of optimism and ready to take the steps towards wellness in your life, I am the therapist for you.

I seek to work with clients who have experiences with trauma and abuse, having seen firsthand how devastating the untreated symptoms of trauma can be on a person's functioning with family, in the workplace and within communities. These symptoms include panic attacks, anxiety, depression, PTSD and can often lead to disabling substance use disorders among other issues. These clients seek to understand why they cannot manage their emotions and have often normalized their abusive experiences, so they do not see why they are struggling to function as easily as they perceive others to be doing.
