Therapists in Bartlett, IL

You are not alone in the challenges you face. Life puts us through a lot hurdles, and it is important for you to be supported through those. Maybe you are having difficulty processing events from your past. Perhaps you are experiencing a stressful life-transition or are feeling stuck, lost, or stressed. Therapy can help you process those experiences. My approach to counseling is collaborative and client-oriented. My goal is to empower clients to accept themselves for who they are and to find resiliency in a way that is collaborative and supportive.

As a social worker, I see each person as the expert of their own experience while also empowering them to grow and heal. My hope is to walk alongside you in your journey and support you in identifying your strengths and building on those together while also identifying support in the community around you. I enjoy bringing humor and creativity into my relationships with my clients and I believe that building trust together will be the cornerstone of your healing process. We all bring our own stories into the therapy room and supporting you in telling yours is something that I look forward to!

I love sitting with people who want to get unstuck and live authentically. Our stories impact our bodies not just our hearts and minds. Overwhelming moments or periods of prolonged stress can manifest in the present if not followed by adequate periods of recovery. You'll know you are stuck if your behaviors or responses are sabotaging current relationships and life goals. You may know the origin of your trauma responses, though I often find clients can't pinpoint a specific incident to explain why they are getting easily triggered or paralyzed. That's ok!

It takes a great amount of strength and courage to reach out and ask for help, or even explore that option. We can all use extra support at times throughout our life, whether we are experiencing high levels of stress, symptoms, or have been going through major adjustments in life. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor who believes therapy is a collaborative relationship that assists individuals in building their tool box, instills hope, and helps them overcome obstacles that create difficulty in their life.

Currently accepting new clients. There are many issues that impact and pull at us in life.
