Therapists in Warrenville, IL

Are you going through life changes? Are you experiencing anxiety, depression or chronic pain? Is a divorce or other life event causing stress? I offer an integrative and holistic approach to help you navigate life changes and moods to help you go from surviving to thriving.

Are you experiencing relationship struggles, irritability, or feeling challenged by communication issues? Is self-doubt, sadness, keeping you from fully participating in daily life or avoiding new experiences? Have you experienced personal or witnessed trauma, wounding, so you need a space for processing? Maybe you are grieving due to the loss of a loved one, loss of a relationship, or feeling your own loss, loneliness, due to unforeseen circumstances such as an illness or life transition. Does someone in your life suffer from an addiction and you're looking for a way to find peace in the chaos? Are you at a loss for ways to heal?

For parents and students alike, adolescence can be a turbulent time. Watching our children struggle can be stressful. It takes a lot of patience, understanding and adjusting to meet the needs of kids in this age group. It's not uncommon for parents to feel that they are engaging in one power struggle after the next...or perhaps feeling a sense of guilt, frustration or helplessness, as they start to question the effectiveness of their parenting and/or the overall emotional well-being of their son or daughter.

My ideal client is any adolescent, young adult, or couple that is willing to seek assistance, grow, and develop new strategies to address concerns they may be having with depression, anxiety, communication, addictions, or other adjustment they are struggling with that they need assistance. In working with clients it is important that a relationship is established where the client feels comfortable, safe, and secure. After a relationship is formed it is my goal to help guide the client/couple/family in developing strategies by challenging them using different therapeutic modalities that work best with their identified goals.

I am a licensed clinician psychologist who has experience working with diverse client needs. I have treated clients with mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders and comorbid substance abuse. My internship and post-doctoral training has provided me with unique training in providing therapy and neuropsychological assessment to patients with dementia, brain injury, stroke, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis and other medical conditions that are comorbid with psychiatric illnesses.

Conditions and experiences such as depression, anxiety, family problems, trauma, abuse, physical illness, work conflict, loneliness and social exclusion impact how you feel about yourself and the quality of your relationship with others. We will explore how compromised mental health and situations negatively impact you. Therapy with empathy in a safe space free of judgment will be used to aid in your recovery. We will work together-at your level of comfort, to alleviate your suffering and symptoms. The goal is to improve the quality of your life and generate a sense of empowerment that will help you sustain the life you want.

I have a warm and very down-to-earth style that helps my clients find their voice as we embark on a journey towards empowerment.

All therapy starts with collaboration at it's core. Seeking therapy takes a great deal of courage and we commend you for considering therapy as a tool for self-exploration and growth.

When you feel that something in your life needs to change, getting started can be overwhelming. My desire is to help identify strengths and explore solutions in a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere. It is important to me that you feel free to share your feelings. I enjoy helping adults, couples, and teens cope with the normal yet at times painful transitions in life such as marriage, parenting, blending families, adolescence, divorce,empty nest, relational issues, and self-esteem struggles that plague people with histories of abuse (physical, sexual, or emotional).

Are you going through a life transition? Are you struggling with creating or maintaining healthy relationships? Are you ruminating on negative thoughts or situations? Do you struggle with self-compassion? Are you dealing with transgenerational trauma? If you answered yes, I can assist you. Sometimes life events, our environment, or trauma can impact our mental health. I am dedicated to providing healing to people who have been through traumatic or stressful events. I am a licensed social worker who enjoys working with adolescents, children, and adults.
