Adults Therapists in 60093
In addition to adolescents, I also work with adults struggling to balance the weight of work and family, without losing their identity.
As a therapist at a variety of school and wilderness therapy settings, I have been working with adolescents and young adults for over 10 years now. I recognize the unique challenges teenagers are faced with today and how to connect with them in a meaningful way. I also realize that starting therapy for the first time can be a daunting experience for anyone. Taking the first step to get help is often the most difficult. That's why it's my priority to make sure new clients are greeted with empathy, they feel heard and as though they're walking into a comfortable, non-judgmental environment.

I also treat young adults who need help finding a genuine direction for themselves.
When you enter therapy, you give yourself a unique opportunity to explore your needs and feelings, and find new ways to meet the challenges in your life. A crucial ingredient for success lies in your relationship with your therapist. My approach is human, engaging and collaborative. We explore your feelings, reactions, and understanding of your relationships, and develop a deeper, sense of your needs, wishes, and how to fulfill your goals. I recognize that each person has unique emotional needs and struggles and I work actively to help you find new ways to understand, cope with, and resolve your concerns.

Through training at the University of Chicago and the Family Institute, I'm able to help adolescents, adults, and families.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience helping people with a variety of presenting problems. Are anxiety, depression, health or relationship issues making you feel "stuck" and keeping you from living the life you want right now? I work collaboratively with my clients building on already existing strengths to help reach the goals of behavioral and emotional growth. My approach is integrative, and I find using cognitive/behavioral and family/systems thinking to be most effective in helping my clients.

My professional journey includes work in creative after-school programs with adolescents, support for adults coping with persistent mental illness diagnoses in community mental health clinics and private practice.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in the belief in the healing power of authentic self-expression within a safe and nurturing setting.I offer a non-judgmental space for clients to explore their strengths and challenges. I employ trauma-informed care to facilitate recovery, and my practice is underpinned by a commitment to social justice and multicultural sensitivity.

I have a wealth of experience with diverse ages of children, teens, adults, and seniors.
Life can be an unexpected wave in the water that makes you feel unsteady, or it can be a giant wave that overwhelms you, and it keeps coming, and it is hard to regain your sense of balance. But when a helping hand reaches out, it can help you to find your strength and balance. Whether it feels like a big or small wave, I can be that support and guidance so when the waves come, you can brace them and keep going. I believe in providing empathetic care and guidance through a collaborative therapeutic relationship by navigating the unique experiences that influence each client’s life.

I often say it is my job to help make life better. Whether you are worrying too much (anxiety), feeling sad (depression), or dealing with trauma, I will do just that: Help make life better. I have experience with children, adolescents, adults and families and have worked in both the school system and in full-time private practice. My style is practical, and focuses a lot on coping mechanisms and strategies. I have had much success working on a variety of issues as noted below. I enjoy assisting in the progress and achievement of attaining goals. My COVID mission has been "always an opening" and now have associates too!

I focus on supporting children, adolescence, young adults, and families through navigating the unpredictable, and confusing world of growing up.
Sometimes even day to day activities can feel overwhelming. Whether you are a child just starting school, an adolescent going through changes, a young adult navigating being on your own for the first time, or a parent who is struggling with understanding your child, know that you are never alone. Taking that first step in asking for help and seeking out therapy is understandably difficult, even if it isn’t the first time, but can make a world of difference. Therapy is a way to better understand you and/or your child’s experiences, while also creating healthy coping skills, boundaries, and sense of self.

Do you feel stuck? Do you wish your life was different but don’t know how or where to start making changes? You don’t have to figure it out all by yourself. I enjoy working with emerging adults, adults, and seniors on navigating the uncertainty of life transitions. Common issues I work with clients on are establishing life’s goals and identity, cultivating harmony in interpersonal relationships, coping with challenging mental and physical health issues, and processing loss, grief and trauma. I enjoy working with individuals who have been diagnosed with ADHD to foster increased functioning and fulfillment.

I have had the pleasure of working in many different settings and with many different walks of life- from kids and adolescents to adults and the aging community.
I believe therapy takes on many forms and is not a cookie-cutter process. That is the sort of approach I take with individuals who took the courageous step toward therapy for their healing journey. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative and therapeutic space for you and your goals. You know yourself and your life more than I do, so I value hearing your story and providing you with support and tools to get you where you want to be. To better tailor to those goals, I focus on an integrative approach of using a systems, strengths-based, or client-centered approach to therapy

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed out, confused, frustrated, discouraged, disappointed, lost, anxious, sad or angry, you are not alone. Most of us experience those feelings at some point in our lives. We care about the people we serve, and we believe every person is individual, authentic, and unique. We use evidence-based practice (EBP) methods for mental health to help children, pre-teens, teenagers, adults, couples, and families to live their best lives. We understand that therapy can seem scary and intimidating, though we know that finding the support you need is the key to starting the self- healing process.

I work with adolescents and adults, providing individual, couple and family therapy.
In life, we face a myriad of transitions, which impact us throughout every decade of our journey. Such transitions often cause anxiety, depression and/or a sense of sadness, loneliness or loss of direction. We may wonder "who am I now" or "where do I belong". Life changes impact our relationships with romantic partners, our parents, our children and our friends. I specialize in working with people as they navigate life's transitions. I help clients to understand and make sense of what can bring greater satisfaction into their lives, with a focus on building more effective and adaptive coping skills.

I offer clients warmth, compassion, and gentleness: Whatever is hard for you right now is welcomed in a space that allows you to be accepted completely for who you are. I provide therapy for adults who struggle with the impact of childhood emotional injury, relational wounding, loneliness, trauma, parenthood challenges, divorce, career struggles, marriage issues, grief, anxiety, and depression. Unresolved hurts show up as restlessness, sleeplessness, negative self-beliefs, loss of purpose, panic, anger, anxiety, and/or depression. Together we will create opportunities for healing, self-discovery and connection to a fulfilling life.

People come to me with problems of anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. I have been in practice for 28 years working with adults of all ages, and I am attuned to understanding childhood patterns that no longer work and may contribute to one's current stress. Trained in both psychodynamic understanding, as well as the newer modes of somatic intervention, I remain focused while maintaining a constancy of care and compassion. As clients and therapists, we all work with our strongest intention to create a peaceful and centered approach to ourselves and with the people most important to us.
