Therapists in Lisle, IL

Puzzled about life, family, work, or friends? Not sure how to move forward with life transitions? Are issues of aging impacting your happiness? Willing to try a unique approach? I am a clinical therapist that listens and thinks differently than others. The goal is to understand who you are in your family/society and how those structures impact your life. Take time to reflect on and identify the patterns that create anxiety in your life while learning new techniques to process stress. Enjoy a supportive, non-judgmental environment, a place where you can transform and learn new methods of self-care.

Transformation! We all have a story that has shaped our perspectives. Whether you are faced with issues related to anxiety, depression, couple distress, parenting, or TRAUMA- there is HOPE. It is not so much as "what happened to you", but how are these experiences processed. My desire is to help clients regain hope, heal, feel less anxious, greater security, and move FORWARD. My intention is to help my clients understand the root issues that cause emotional and psychological distress, develop a stronger sense of self so that they can live a more fulfilled life. The decision to change begins with you.

People that are looking for professional mental health services come from all ethnicities, backgrounds, and walks of life. Some are in the twilight of their lives, while others are just getting started. Some need help with delicate relationship struggles, while others may find that they are searching for a diagnosis to help them finally make sense of things. Then there are those that are just looking for someone to talk to about what is going on in their lives. What you need to remember though, is that no matter what you are looking to get help with, you are not alone. The first step can be the hardest, but here you are!

Many of the people that come to see me have in someway either lost their way in life and are tired of settling for the crumbs. Some come because of their lives have become out of balance and in some cases out of control in the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual areas. Others, because they are in a tremendous amount of emotional pain. My goal is to help you find a healthy way of dealing with whatever the issues, in effective ways, that are keeping you from reaching your highest potential and to heal the obvious and not so obvious wounds that might be preventing that from happening.

Do you wish someone could truly understand why you have been so anxious and unsure recently? Maybe you are experiencing self-doubt and a lack of confidence in your abilities to make decisions?

I will provide you a safe and judgment-free space where you feel free to be your authentic self.
