Therapists in Naperville, IL

Are you struggling with depression or anxiety? Are you struggling with finding purpose or meaning? Are you struggling with a cross-cultural transition or race-related issue? Together, we can understand the self within our socio-cultural context and build the foundation necessary to create space for intentional, yet flexible, change to occur. Let’s work together to find the change you are looking for.

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.

Therapy can be intimidating to many people. I don't believe in having a "diagnosis" in order to justify therapy... there are benefits to even the most mentally strong. Much like cars need a tune up, people need to often make mental health a priority! Whether it be a major life change, difficulty in relationships, or feeling like something is missing...

I am an international Master's student studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling at North Park University. As an international student who has lived in different countries for almost 10 years, I enjoy working with people of all ages with different cultural backgrounds. My ability to relate to individuals from different backgrounds and beliefs comes from the real-life opportunities provided through this travel around the world.

Are you tired of facing your problems alone, yet feeling uncertain about discussing them with a stranger? Are you feeling trapped in your anxious and depressive thoughts, but feeling too embarrassed to talk, but also too desperate NOT to? For most people, finding a therapist IS very anxiety provoking. They are afraid of being judged and of the unknown. So allow me to first applaud your courage and wisdom for taking action! To help my clients feel accepted and motivated, my approach is warm, casual, and collaborative. My focus is always on emphasizing the strengths, NOT on what "disorders" you might have.

You may have suffered greatly internally and contemplated making a change. When the time comes, the risk to remain tight in a bud can be more painful than the risk it takes to blossom.

As a clinical and research psychologist and former assistant professor, I actively incorporate 14 years of clinical experience and research evidence working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples in my work with clients.

With a bit of humor and a lot of support, I am here to listen, talk and support you. Appointment booking is available through my website: https://woundedhealerscounselingservice.com/

"You are not a drop in the ocean.You are the entire ocean in a drop."- Rumi -There are times in life where we begin to feel insignificant, overwhelmed and overtired due to all the burden on our shoulders and minds, which leads to experiencing anxiety, depression, sadness and other life altering mental health changes. We begin to feel lost and hopeless and ultimately believe that there is no way to escape, and perhaps you have accepted things this way." My goal while working with clients is towards cohesiveness and personal growth. I provide counseling from an eclectic model which allows an individual to reach their full potential

We all have potential for change and, sometimes, need a guide through the obstacles that stand in our way. These obstacles include fears and worrying, self-doubt, unresolved healing from past trauma, and being "stuck" in the past or self-sabotaging patterns. Whether your goal is to overcome fears, get "unstuck", "reset" self-defeating patterns, or learn to enjoy life again, we can make this happen together. My primary goals are to listen, understand, challenge, and help you gain a new perspective on your situation. I work with motivated adults who want to improve their relationships, work performance, and social lives.

What is common to every one of us are experiences of hardship followed by the emotional unraveling of our lives. In these moments, we are called to acknowledge the reality of our struggle, to honor our emotions through expression within the safe spaces they deserve, and to experience healing, strength and the confidence to meaningfully move forward. Therapy is a process of discovery wherein we may explore and discuss comparative self-criticism based on anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and major life changes. I believe that healing through meaning-making is possible through self-compassion.

Many of us reach a point where we feel stuck in our lives or our relationships. We realize that what we have done in the past to manage stress, to cope, to heal, to move forward is no longer working the way it used to and we need new strategies. As an individual and family therapist who has worked for 6+ years in two diverse metropolitan areas (New York and Chicago), my work has focused on family relationships, identity exploration, adult and adolescent mental health issues, parenting, social skills, grief, loss, and other life traumas.

Life presents challenges for all of us. As a highly skilled therapist, I help individuals, couples, and families who have become overwhelmed by life's challenges or feeling "stuck" in their situation.

Our lives are made up of stories. Some chapters are beautiful, while some can be tragic. As we create our own narrative to the events of our lives, rushing to find some semblance of normalcy, we often become lost, challenged, overwhelmed. We forget there is beauty and resiliency in not only the events that bring us joy, but also the events that may not. As a licensed social worker, I work with you to identify meaning in each story that you share, finding a new and clearer perspective so you may live a happier life.
