Teletherapy for Illinois

Part of being alive is to experience fear, doubt, depression , and a multitude of events that bring about suffering. Of course, there are varying degrees, as some people are just having trouble adjusting to a circumstance in their life and need a little support in the right direction. For others, the problem may be chronic such as PTSD or depression . Most certainly, the state of American politics and the world today, have raised most people's base level of anxiety or depression .

However, the ride can be smooth or shaky and take us through dark tunnels, across bridges, rivers, and hills. I'm your assistant navigator offering support, encouragement, empowerment, but also challenging you forward towards your chosen destination(s). Together we navigate through any obstacles in order to help you achieve your goals and discover the life you want to live.

The journey called life can be very painful.

I offer an empathetic, supportive, and accepting environment for my clients to feel heard and understood while also challenged and inspired to take on new perspectives, ways of thinking, and daily practices. Therapy is a process that can provide tools to relieve immediate stress, but also an opportunity to explore the underlying meanings, behavioral patterns, and relationship dynamics in order to lead a life of authenticity and genuine fulfillment. My clients also strive to positively impact society.

Are you navigating through personal or relationship issues that are holding you back from living the life you want? Perhaps you are seeking to learn tools and strategies to feel less anxious or depressed . Maybe you seek a space to tackle the barriers that are keeping you stuck and preventing you from achieving your goals. You may have tried on your own to fix what is troubling you but it has been difficult to find relief. I know starting therapy can seem intimidating, but sometimes the healing process simply starts by showing up and investing in yourself.

Do you want help feeling better about yourself and your life? Are you looking for a counselor with an open mind and a compassionate heart who accepts you as you are, someone who recognizes your basic humanity and worth? We’re living in unstable times when life may feel as if it has slipped sideways into unfamiliar territory. You are not alone. I can act as an honest and gentle guide to listen and to teach you the skills and techniques that can improve your life. There are many benefits to counseling; improved self-esteem, more control over obsessive thoughts, and a clearer sense of life direction.

I believe that dealing with stressful situations can become tough and overwhelming. But, I also believe that you have the ability – with professional guidance – to unlock your own potential and solve the problems that are holding you back from a more fulfilling life. My role is to partner with you in change, create specific and achievable goals, and work together in lock-step to help you reach your full potential. My ideal client has been suffering from anxiety, depression , relationship problems, immigration and acculturation issues, LGBTQIA+, burnout, trauma, and substance abuse and is looking to make a change for the better.

Yes. I am convinced that mental health is not achieved in isolation, which is why I commend you for reaching out. Trusting is so hard if you have endured more than most. Learning how to deal with what is inside is harder if nobody ever taught you how to make sense of it all. Therapy is a special process where in the moment you let a safe person experience hurt alongside you, you might feel less alone and scared to feel. Less weird for what has or is happening. When we feel less alone, we could even try what it would be like to practice responses that won’t get us deeper into depression and anxiety.
