Attachment-based Therapists in Bloomingdale, IL

Many of us struggle with difficulties in relationships, personal grief, and emotional or physical pain. We often see these as obstacles to healing with a hopeless outlook of change. We need answers, reasons, and certainty to soothe our longings or access "progress." So often this shrouds our ability to slow down and look inward. My aim is to empower you to navigate these complexities with courage and resilience. Through a holistic approach that addresses both emotional and physical patterns formed throughout a lifetime of relationships and experiences, you can learn to honor your story the way no one else can. Come as you are.

We are a combination of our physical attributes, ideals, life experiences, and the social environment around us. This journey called life can be quite a balancing act, and we often lose focus on what is truly important: You. Through a holistic approach, I am honored to walk alongside each client on this journey.

I believe a good working relationship can be one of the foundations of effective therapy, and some of my greatest natural strengths lie in the area of creating a relationship with you characterized by safety, trust and collaboration. The working environment we create will be especially helpful for those with depression, personality and relationship issues. I am comfortable with shorter-term work, but also recognize that some work takes additional time with a therapist in order to explore issues in greater depth and to generate lasting and meaningful change.

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping adults and young adults overcome issues life throws at us. Negative life experiences can lead to feelings of sadness, isolation, lack of motivation, racing thoughts, and panic attacks. In order to work through these challenges, we need to challenge our cognitive distortions, identify our triggers, and find that motivation to set and achieve goals. This isn't easy. It's a process. No matter what your problems are, they are important, so put yourself first and reach out for help.

Has it been hard for you to embrace life and feel your best? Are you looking for help navigating a lifelong struggle or recent difficulty? Although your experiences are unique to you, you are not alone and deserve to have your emotional needs met. The therapeutic journey allows you to share the burden and invest in yourself. Together, we can find what works for you and equip you with the tools to conquer anxiety, self-esteem issues, depression, life transitions, and loss.

Feeling wrecked with worry or sadness on the inside, while trying to remain "happy" on the outside? The power of therapy can remove that mask once and for all. If you can't shake this nudging feeling that something isn't right, while attempting to juggle all of the responsibilities you have; it's time. It's the greatest work of this lifetime to take a deep dive and explore things that might seem scary or just easier to avoid. You are exactly where you need to be, this is the first step. Go for it!

You are valuable just as you are, and there's nothing broken about you. Asking for professional help, like you're doing right now, is a testament to your strength and commitment to growth. I have experience helping people in a variety of different areas, but am especially passionate about supporting those with anxiety, depression, shame, grief, self-esteem, codependency, perfectionism, adult caregivers, medical personnel, and evangelical deconstruction. Together, we will create a safe place that's designed for you.
