Therapists in Westchester, IL
I have been in practice for 40 years. I treat children with behavioral problems, children-teens-adults with depression, panic/anxiety attacks, bipolar disorder, phobias, family conflicts, coping skills, academic issues, Employee Assistance, relationship counseling. Therapeutic approaches are designed specifically for the individual. Play therapy is used with children under 12. I set goals to measure progress and modify treatment based on goals obtainment and how the person feels. I focus on therapy teaching individuals better coping skills to use outside the office. Cognitive-Behavior therapy is most effective.

My therapeutic approach is supportive, engaging, and collaborative. I work to foster trust and compassion with every client and family I see using a more interactive approach. My goal is to help my clients identify goals and learn strategies to achieve these goals through techniques tailored specifically for them. I also enjoy using humor in my sessions to engage clients and help them feel at ease. I have 15 years experience working in mental health and a Master of Arts degree from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Counseling.

Angry, anxious, confused, or depressed because of relationship problems? Feel your partner never listens to you? Keep having the same old fights over and over? Imago Relationship Therapy is very helpful in restoring connection, safety, and romance. As a Certified Imago Therapist I enable each partner to be heard and understood so the needs of each can be met. Usually couples experience some immediate relief from the pain of alienation and begin to rediscover the love that brought them together. If your spouse won't come for counseling, come alone! I also do individual therapy, including EMDR for trauma resolution..

As we walk through different seasons of our lives, we may all need caring individuals that can offer interventions, help and/or support during our circumstances. Going further, I believe that we were innately created to be in covenant or relationship with our creator, our family or other social circles that we choose to surround ourselves with. However, it is a very personal choice as to how each one of us chooses to go about this path. My strong belief in this basic aspect of life gave birth to Covenant Intuition Center.

Although there are times when we feel broken, hopeless, and unsure of the future, there is hope. As a therapist, I provide a safe environment for you to process your vulnerabilities, expand your coping skills and begin to heal.

For many of us, currently, the world seems uncertain and overwhelming. There are so many things to worry about ranging from job security, your family, your relationships with friends and intimate partners. While we cannot predict the future, we can manage how we respond to our present circumstances.

As each of us goes through life, we will experience difficult transitions. It could be the loss of a loved one or pet to death through disease, accident, or natural causes. Personally, you or a loved one may face cancer or other life-threatening situations. Life’s transitions are challenging. In all cases, you will need support from family, friends, and professionals. My professional experience includes working with adolescents and adults from diverse backgrounds facing challenging transitions in their lives. I have supported clients confronting these transitions while witnessing them gain greater self-awareness.

Now accepting new clients for EMDR therapy! Are you tired of avoiding life? Scrolling social media, watching the same movies over and over, sleeping in and staying home all the time is not actually making you feel any better. Do you notice yourself struggling at work, isolating, lashing out at your partner or kids, over eating, and just not enjoying life anymore? Maybe you were taught to sweep all of your problems under the rug and "be grateful." You really do appreciate all the sacrifices that have been made for you, but you still can't shake these negative feelings. You know it is time to try something different. I can help!
