Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists in Buffalo Grove, IL

Most of my work is assessment and therapy. I love working with children and their families where the family dynamics may be creating some stress within the family system. I enjoy the process of getting children and families engaged in therapy and working together to identify the values of the children and their families. Clients who are looking to strengthen their family bonds and develop their family unit are some of my favorite things to work on. Much of my interest and experience has been around bullying and trauma, and I greatly enjoy being a part of the growth my clients make while addressing these issues.

I have been in practice since 2002, helping adolescents, adults, couples, families and groups. I work collaboratively with clients from a biopsychosocial perspective, using the interrelationship between the mind and body as a focus for treatment. As a medical psychologist on hospital staff, I diagnose and treat psychological issues in outpatient or inpatient therapy.

As a Licensed Therapist & Registered Nurse my approach is holistic, client centered, & compassionate. You can expect a warm, comforting space. We will work together to address your needs & goals. I offer you my sincere, empathetic, genuine and experienced care. I serve children & adults and provide assistance on an array of issues and topics.

Are you sick and tired of feeling anxious, worried or depressed all the time? Discouraged that your own efforts to change things only leave you stuck? And then downing yourself on top of that? Are you living only a part of the life that you wish you could have? Well, anyone can fall into those traps. You don't have to figure it all out by yourself. And trying harder isn't the solution. Trying “different” is. Learning and practicing new skills is your ticket out. I can help you identify the traps and make best use of new/different skills and strategies.

We solely see first responders, ER staff, and veterans at the FRWC. Being a former Chicago Police Officer for 13 years, I understand the unique needs of first responders and developed the center to help those who protect us. We see first responders due to trauma, crisis, PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, job-related stress, suicide, etc. We also understand how there are concerns about engaging in therapy services and protecting your job. We ensure that you will have privacy and confidentiality. We have a separate entrance and exit to maintain confidentiality.

As a therapist and educational advocate, I work with tweens, teens, adults and families to bring out their best selves by using successes in the past to confront and conquer current life challenges. It is okay to struggle with anxiety; the goal is to make sure you don't suffer from it. Parent coaching means understanding great kids can also make bad decisions. We work together to learn practical strategies to put in your parent toolbox. I'm also passionate about helping parents trust their instincts by decoding specialized vocabulary of IEPs and help parents assert their expertise when it comes to the special needs of special kids.
