Therapists in Tinley Park, IL

Emotions are the core of human life and experience, and yet we often have a very difficult time navigating what our emotions are trying to tell us about ourselves, how we perceive others, and what's valued in our lives. Through the therapeutic relationship I seek to work together with clients to achieve both better mental and emotional health and greater contentment with life.

Life situations can promote depression, anxiety, unhealthy relationships, and self-destructive behaviors. Transitions, grief and loss, or anger issues might be a factor in your not having the life you'd like to currently lead. My goal is to work with individuals and couples exploring problematic areas causing concern in order to build self esteem and promote a sense of well-being. Respectfully, I will meet you wherever you are at in your life in a non-judgmental setting, walking with you through the stage of change.

Feeling overwhelmed? Peace of mind is a holistic approach, a balance of mind, body and spirit. I am a clinician that facilitates therapy with emphasis on this philosophy. My dual career as counselor and psychology professor demands that I know all of the newest research and evidenced based treatments. I specialize in Anxiety Disorders, Mood Disorders including Depression, boundary setting, unhealthy relationship "detox", childhood trauma/ inner child work, CPTSD, survivors of abuse, narcissistic abuse, and divorce. I am vested to help you develop the ultimate self care plan to achieve your very best version of yourself!

I strive to help clients better understand and treat thoughts, emotions and behaviors which negatively affect their overall functioning. In order to achieve this, I primarily use a Person-Centered clinical approach, which means that through empathy and non-judgment, a person is able to discover more about him/herself and find solutions that will allow the person to move forward. When it is a good fit for the client and with certain mental health issues, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which relies more on techniques and reinforcement activities.

We are all very capable of being happy. Sometimes loss, our environment or trauma can impact us to the point where we are no longer healthy or happy. I believe that we can be the healthiest version of ourselves with unconditional support. I love to empower my clients and give them the tools to improve their quality of life. I believe that we all struggle in life; being human is not a easy feat for many of us. I myself have struggled with many of the issues I specialize in, so I will do my best to get the core and to help you to heal yourself by strengthening your skills but will also do so with a very empathetic understanding.

"The world breaks everyone and afterwards many are strong in the broken places" (Earnest Hemingway). That's why there is nothing I enjoy more than helping people reconnect with their internal power to grow from, cope with, and transform wounds that tend to separate us from our own highest good. Although this life and physical body are temporary, at our core we have a connection to an unlimited Source of power, wisdom,health, and healing.

Sometimes life is is hard, especially when circumstances keep us from living the peaceful life we want. Many people come to therapy seeking help with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, and in some cases, trauma recovery. Whether you’re taking your first steps toward self-improvement and wellness, or have been on your journey for a while, therapy can help you figure out what you need to achieve your goals. I enjoy working with adults who are navigating a variety of life challenges by providing a safe and non-judgmental environment to support you on your journey to make meaningful life changes.

Do you feel like your life is going in the right direction? Are you feeling depressed or anxious? Is the world seemingly holding you back? Do you long for deeper relationships? I believe that every person or couple has an innate potential to reach an optimal level to get the most out of their life. Most of us have had or are dealing with perceived obstacles, past hurts, or future concerns that impede us and create a sense of being stuck. I can help you ease and alleviate your psychological pain, gain power, and get more of what you want.

Do you feel anxious or depressed? Are you struggling with relationship challenges or major life transitions? Or do you suffer from low self-esteem? I provide compassionate support to people who find themselves dealing with these issues, and offer sessions that are nurturing, captivating and goal-oriented. My warm and non-judgmental approach to working with individuals is grounded in the psychodynamic and mindfulness traditions, and I’m also quite interested in working with clients on issues of spirituality and meaning.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Masters of Science in Mental Health Counseling from National-Louis University with 24 years of experience. In addition to utilizing traditional therapeutic strategies, I have been trained as a certified Christian Mental Health Coach by the American Association of Christian Counselors, with the ability to offer Christian counseling to those who would like to incorporate their faith into their therapeutic process. I believe in working in concert with my clients to determine the best approaches necessary to help them achieve that state of mental/emotional wholeness in which they desire.

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.
