Therapists in Gurnee, IL

私たちは生まれつき優れていると信じています。ただ、他人に及ばない自分に羞恥心を感じるべき、他人の期待に応えない自分は無価値や出来損ないの人間、また「悪い」と「間違い」という概念を教われました。こういう認識を習った私たちは焦慮や自責に落ちり、自分を否定し続けている。 私は非評価の環境を提供したいです。依頼者を支援して、彼らの苦境を理解し、彼らが理想的な変化を達成することに取り組んでいます。あなたの気持ちに耳を傾けて理解し、過去と現在の経歴を分析し、懸念、悩みや挑戦などを処理するのに役立つ情報と新たな対処方略を提供します。あなたをサポートし、どんな事も一緒に向き合ってみましょう。

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious or stressed-out? Have you been feeling down, or stuck? I provide psychotherapy, assessment as well as consultation to adults, children and families experiencing various issues. I have extensive experience helping clients struggling with cultural adjustment, trauma, anxiety, relationship/family conflict, self-image, depression, and school-related issues. I believe in each person's strengths and resilience, and encourage clients to actively participate in sessions toward treatment goals that are produced collaboratively.

Maybe you have tried traditional talk therapy, yoga, or self-help apps but you haven't found that sense relief from stress, anxiety, depression or grief. Grounded in the use of mindfulness and the creative arts therapies - art, movement, music, and drama - we believe the steps towards clarity, growth, and empowerment are about much more than talking. We are constantly thinking, feeling, sensing, expressing, interpreting, and responding to daily experiences. Your sessions will holistically explore all of these parts of your experience while gaining new skills to cope with stress, trauma, relationships, loss, or a new life change.

I partner with clients to create lasting change, by examining their strengths, challenges, and obstacles. My clients span across race, ethnicity, culture, age, sexual orientation, and spiritual beliefs. I work with individuals, couples, and families. People often come to therapy because they feel a gap in being understood- by a friend, by a partner, someone at work, or even by themselves. In our work, we explore new ways of thinking, communicating, reducing stress, and improving relationships.

Therapy transformed my life when I was referred to a counselor years ago as a teen. Since then, I have wanted to provide this type of support and to serve as a guide for others through difficult times in life. I aspire to help my clients tap into their own inner strengths, so they can ultimately live more freely, fully and authentically. I take a client-centered approach, and help my clients identify their own goals for themselves.

I have been honored to work with individuals and families since 1999. Life can at times be a bumpy ride, and sometimes we might feel stuck not knowing how to handle certain situations, but my core belief is that we all have the inner ability to make each life experience a growing opportunity. I support clients by using collaborative, compassionate, and culturally-sensitive approaches. I also incorporate mindfulness and gratitude and strive to offer clients a safe and caring space throughout their journey.
