Therapists in Arlington Heights, IL

How can I help you? My style is compassionate and flexible, tailored to each individual, reflecting my commitment to providing a safe environment where all feel respected, seen, and understood. My approach is collaborative and multiculturally sensitive.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who has devoted my clinical work to assisting adult individuals with a broad spectrum of concerns. I provide warm and caring support to those struggling with life's challenges. Specifically, I enjoy working with individuals in the following areas: depression, anxiety, substance abuse, life transitions, low self-esteem, communication, and relationship concerns.

"In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or step back into safety" (Abraham Maslow). Deciding to make changes in one's life takes courage. For many of us life can be difficult. Whether it's addiction, depression, relationship issues or just the fears and insecurities of life, we all have challenges we must face. Therapy is meant to be a safe place where we are able to find courage to walk through these challenges and to find real hope with practical help.

I believe in everyone's resilience and capacity to change and grow. I strive to foster optimism and hope so you can envision your possibilities and options in life, motivating you to try something new or different to change yourself or your life. I work collaboratively with you to explore, make sense of, and help navigate issues with relationships, work-related stress, school performance, grief, adjustment to illness, dealing with immigration or relocation, and other changes we go through.

I am passionate about working with relational issues, and helping individuals, couples and families. I believe that our relationships have an essential impact on our well-being. My goal is to provide a client-centered experience where clients feel comfortable to grow. Supporting clients to achieve their personal goals - whether it be managing their personal life, working through a challenging situation, or finding purpose and fulfillment. To offer compassion, empathy, and acceptance in a safe environment. Together we can create a comprehensive plan to help you create your own positive practices in your daily living.

I believe that mental health is at the core of overall wellbeing, and I understand that seeking support for yourself or a loved one is not easy. That said, I aim to create a welcoming atmosphere where you feel comfortable, safe, and connected. In sessions, I will gently and appropriately challenge you to make incremental yet meaningful changes in your life. I will also provide you with effective and practical coping skills so you can support yourself in and outside of session. I work with teens, young adults, adults and parents. I specialize in the treatment of OCD, anxiety, eating disorders, and depression.

I have had the opportunity to work with individuals of all ages for over 51 years. I approach everyone I see with a lifetime of experience about countless others but see the uniqueness of each individual. I meet people on the road where they are and assist them in taking life changing steps toward where they want to be. I see myself as a "midwife", helping each person give birth to a better life. Ultimately I see "my job is to put myself out of a job...but I need your help."

Do you have unexplained sadness, excessive worrying, irritability, or feeling overwhelmed and stressed? Everyone has the ability to be their best self but sometimes life's challenges prevent us from living the life we envisioned. Counseling is intended to help you gain understanding and make changes to obtain a better quality of life that you envision for yourself.

It is important for us to know ourselves and be able to address our own issues head on. It can be easy to shy away from looking at our problems in a realistic light and to take the steps needed to change for the better. With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing. My office is a safe and supportive environment in which to help you look at your whole self and get comfortable with making lasting changes.

If you are looking for a therapist, it can be a very difficult choice. It is a deeply personal relationship, because that person will know you as well as anyone. The relationship is about functioning with less stress and anxiety, without depression holding you down, with relationships that are honest and healthy, and with real connection to family, friends and your highest self. Therapy is a conversation with yourself, facilitated by another, to bring about change in some area of your life. Change your mind and change your life! LGBTQ friendly and experienced.

Growing up isn't easy. Today's adolescents experience more stress, expectations, and worries than ever.

I include parents and the child in our work, a crucial piece for consistency in communication, and navigating the increasing stressors kids face.

My professional experience is with adolescents, preteens and young adults. As young people try to navigate the social and developmental changes that come with this time of accelerated physical, cognitive, and emotional growth, many struggle to figure out who they are in the world. This struggle can lead to poor choices, conflict with family and friends, and difficulty feeling confident. In some cases the challenges compound and young people develop mental health issues. I have had the privilege of spending countless hours providing therapy to adolescents with anxiety, depression, self-injury, school failure, low self-confidence, and peer/family conflict.
