Going to therapy is like taking a trip. You bring your baggage filled with memories, patterns built up over the years, and all the good things about you, and set off on your journey. You may feel excited, apprehensive, or unsure if you want a change - but you breathe in and take the next step anyway. You find a tour guide to help unpack your bags, figure out what's useful, and chart your path to get to where you're going.
As a therapist for over 25 years, I find that the path to change depends on your personality, natural abilities, strengths and unique history. Our approach is to draw upon these characteristics, utilize methods best-suited to you and ground it all in neuroscientific research on how our brains work.
My group practice is located in Logan Square/Avondale and our clients reflect the surrounding community - artists, students, professionals and families. We specialize in identifying and breaking old patterns, finding balance, building resilience and hope, and embracing the uncertainty and inevitable changes that life throws our way.
