Addiction Therapists in Chicago, IL
My background is in working with teens and adults that struggle with issues such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance abuse, parenting difficulties, building healthy relationships, and life transitions such as the loss of a job.
It's a tough time out there these days. Between the economy, managing school or work, relationship issues, not knowing where you fit in or what your purpose might be, or just having an even harder time than usual dealing with mental health issues, so many of us are feeling burned out and not sure how to cope. You might have fallen into ways of dealing with life that aren't working out so great for you, like drinking too much, self-harming, isolating from others, or forming unhealthy relationships. It can be easy to think that you're alone in struggling this way, that the confidence, joy, and connection you need is unreachable.

I have helped individuals of various ages navigate through the complexities of addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and burn out.
I have a passion for journeying with individuals and families who have a hunch or a longing for something different, better, in their lives. Together I collaborate with folks to address how neglected hunches may breed uncomfortable symptoms such as burn out, addictions, isolation and frustrations within relationships. By exploring values, strengths, and communication styles I coach clients through their discomforts and empower them to bring forth a new sense of self-worth and direction.
