Female Therapists in Westmont, IL
There are times of life when emotional pain is overwhelming. During those times, working with a therapist brings relief, and helps those struggling to reach their potential. I specialize in providing that kind of help. For more than a decade I've counseled people of all ages, helping empower them to rely on personal strengths, discover a sense of purpose, and appreciate a greater sense of self worth. It's humbling to witness people demonstrate resilience when overcoming difficult issues. In my practice I guide clients as they discern how to be and feel their best.

Life can be challenging and we all have innate ways that we try to cope but sometimes we reach a point where we need help. Maybe there’s a specific event that has happened, perhaps you’re noticing patterns in your life you don’t understand, or sometimes our physical health may be a clue that something more is going on. We so often feel alone in our struggles and my role is to walk alongside you as we work together to better understand what’s going on and how to address it. This work may involve an exploration of past experiences, as well as building an appreciation for your uniqueness and ways to create a life to best support you.

Shame is a soul eating emotion. Are you tired of feeling it? Doing anything you can to avoid it? Are you tired of thoughts consuming your mind? Tired of avoiding people, places, events? Tired of working endlessly to be perfect or to hide your imperfections? Tired of using alcohol or drugs to manage your mood and numb your feelings of shame and worthlessness or of hiding your loved ones’ addiction? Tired of feeling worthless and shitty about yourself? Are you just fucking tired?

As a therapist, my strengths are in meeting the clients where they are, fostering a strong therapeutic alliance, creating a safe and non-judgmental space, instilling hope, and increasing a sense of self-efficacy. I am an integrative counselor and believe therapy can make a meaningful difference because while we cannot change the facts of our past, it is important to gain insight into the stories we created; our beliefs, wishes, and fears; how this impacts our life; and what we want to carry forward.

I help moms parent and manage life's stress without fear. Navigating life's challenges is difficult, confusing and often times isolating. My clients are self-reliant, but often low on their own priority list, leaving them feeling depleted and highly critical of self. My clients struggle like you do. Despite being smart, resourceful and successful, life is hard. When my clients first come in they tell me that they are exhausted, stretched too thin and are failing. They neglect themselves at the expense of their own goals and dreams. If you are a mom and want to parent and navigate life's challenges without fear, let's chat!
