Native American Therapists in Schaumburg, IL

I have been practicing as a Nurse Practitioner for the last 3 years. Prior to obtaining my Master’s degree, I worked as a Registered Nurse for 10 years in several different settings. My approach to service and treatment is always patient centered. I’m a huge advocate for patient’s rights and encourage my patient’s to be involved in their own medical decisions. I strive on developing strong relationships with my patients and being the most compassionate, empathetic and nonjudgmental person so they can feel comfortable talking to me and opening up about their health concerns.

I have over twenty years of experience working with children, families, couples, individuals, and groups. I have ample experience working Latinx clients, immigrant families, and multiracial couples. If you suffer issues such as: depression, anxiety, or relational issues ( couples problems, mother/father and children disagreements, siblings fights) give yourself the opportunity to improve your relationships. For years, I have been working with children who have suffered traumatic events and their families. I am an American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy Approved Supervisor, and I supervise Therapy students.

Hi there! I primarily work with child, teens, and adults population to treat a variety of issues. I encourage my clients to explore how many of their issues stem from a combination of family dynamics, subconscious beliefs and personal patterns in order to create positive changes. My approach to therapy is compassionate, strengths-based, and non-judgmental. I create a supportive, safe space for clients to feel comfortable discussing their experiences. My goal is to help my clients gain insight into their emotions and behaviors, explore the root of their experiences, and feel empowered to overcome obstacles and work toward their goals

I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults. That being said, I believe that our natural state is one of peace and contentment. When we are feeling content with ourselves, not only are we more productive in our individual endeavors, but the quality of our relationships improves. Stress brought on by the demands of modern day living can rob us of our sense of internal peace. My goal is not to change you into something you are not, but rather assist you in finding the strength that already exists within you so that you regain your peace of mind and grip on the world around you.

Therapeutic interventions include integrative approaches along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Schema Therapy, Psycho-Education, as well as Eastern philosophical tenets, and EMDR. If you deal with Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Addiction issues, a Trauma history, Dissociative Disorders or Personality Disorders, you will receive competent, compassionate and empathic care. Treatment needs can be met through individual therapy, family therapy, couples therapy and/or group therapy. Other issues that I can help you with are Eating Disorders, Weight management, Pain management/somatic issues. as well as Grief/Loss issues.

I have over 25 years experience treating adults, families, adolescents, and couples. I specialize in depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and psychotic disorders. I am a published author who has presented my research on group psychotherapy nationally and internationally. I am also a licensed massage therapist who practices mind/body work. As a past board member with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), and a past member of APA's Task force on severe mental illness, I am an advocate for individuals and families who struggle with the stigma associated with these disorders. As a retired professor at Midwestern University.

I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy and seek to empower my clients through collaboration in treatment. My worldview and theoretical approach is rooted in a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and social justic framework and utilizes interventions from methodologies such as Somatic Experiencing, existentialism, psychodynamic, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Therapy can be a powerful tool to hold space for clients and I come from a place of empowerment to help give clients space to process and dialogue through thoughts and feelings.

I understand the strength and courage it takes to seek out counseling services, so I want to commend you for taking this first step. I believe that much of the pain and suffering that leads us to counseling stems from some form of unresolved trauma. Together, we will work towards identifying and healing from this trauma while accomplishing your desired goals along the way. I am passionate about my work and seek to create a safe, therapeutic environment that fosters personal growth and development.

My clients present with mild to severe anxiety, depression or life related stress. Sometimes life gets overwhelming and my clients want support and also to learn new skills. They want to get back to some level of normalcy and by working in a collaborative way we work on achieving and crushing treatment plan goals. My clients just want to be ok! They want to be the best version of themselves and I help guide that process.

Along the journey through life challenges are inevitable and there aren't always easy or clear answers about why things happen and what to do about them. We want our lives and life itself to have value, meaning and purpose; and finding or creating these things for ourselves can be confusing, frustrating and even scary. However, finding our deeper reason(s) in life can also be rewarding, exciting and empowering experience that provides the hope, courage, strength and tenacity needed to face life's challenges. Having the courage to begin this process and asking for support along the way doesn't mean you're weak, it makes you strong!

More importantly, I am excited to serve you, as you create the changes in your life. Piece by piece, building the life that you deserve and want.

Do you feel stuck emotionally, financially, or relationally and the old strategies just aren't working? I integrate evidence based interventions to help adults of all ages break through limits like depression, anxiety, and trauma into a more abundant life.

Feel free to use these resources whether or not you are a client. I hope you enjoy and reach out at any time to schedule a free 15 minute consult call.
