Therapists in Tinley Park, IL

I have a strong belief in the human spirit, and that individuals inherently possess the ability to make very powerful changes in their lives. I help to provide effective tools for transforming negative self-talk into a more motivating and inspiring internal process. I gently challenge habitual emotional reactions that tend to hijack a person's ability to think clearly. Once a person is able to manage these struggles a bit better, he/she/they are able to achieve better emotional regulation and make optimal choices toward personal growth and well-being.

Whether you are going through a fog in your life, struggling to get over hurt, experiencing broken relationships, depressive mood, stress, anxiety, or seeking help with career decisions or finding a new path, I'm here to offer support to you.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the Chicagoland area. For most of my career, I have worked with individuals who have experienced trauma and are struggling to manage their daily lives. I specialize in the treatment of children/adolescents, adults, and families struggling with Trauma, Depression, Behavioral Issues, Sexualized Behavior Problems, and PTSD. My goal is to help my clients develop greater insight and effective strategies to manage stress and distressing situations in their lives. I believe my biggest strength is my ability to connect with my clients

When life becomes unfocused, or the weight of stress too much to carry, it is the resilient who seek clarity and work to better distribute the weight. It is the evolutionary elite who are able to view change and stress as an opportunity for growth and adaptation.

Are you having a hard time coping with stress and anxiety in your daily life? Maybe you’ve been struggling with communicating effectively in your various relationships or trying to heal from a relationship that recently ended? Do you find you have a hard time controlling your emotions or anger?

I have experience with helping clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, eating disorders, low self-esteem, grief, and other major challenging life events. I also provide counseling to clients who are experiencing everyday life challenges who simply need someone to talk to in order to work through current and past life stressors, through individual or group therapy in a supportive and comfortable setting.

Sometimes the only way out is through. I help overwhelmed children, teens, adults, and parents overcome daily life struggles. I offer in-person and telehealth options to treat anxiety, OCD, depression, and inattention for clients of all ages. College students and out-of-state travelers may continue telehealth while they are staying in eligible states. I also offer more flexible scheduling options to meet the needs of business professionals, healthcare providers, school faculty and students.

Everyone experiences periods of stress, sadness, grief and conflict, and talking to a professional can make a huge impact. If you're reading this, congratulations on taking the courageous and positive first step towards changing what is no longer working in your life.
