Weight Loss Therapists in Evanston, IL

Hi there and welcome! Are you searching for a therapist with experience and expertise, but who's warm and doesn't feel stuffy or unrelatable? Then I'm here to help! I believe therapy feels safest when there's genuine connection, authenticity and lots of space to deeply explore what's going on. You might be struggling with painful feelings or traumatic experiences that are weighing you down and interfering with your life. You are looking to understand what's happening inside of you and you want to feel fully alive, happy and whole. I very much want to help you get there.

Engaging in therapy is a courageous, commendable task. I have enormous respect for the individuals, couples, and families I work with, and endeavor to create a solid base of trust and a collaborative connection. Depending on your needs and goals, our work may focus on improving your quality of life, shifting patterns, and/or deepening your overall self-awareness. I find that, along the way, healing often occurs as one gains clarity and begins moving toward the desires, needs, and truths that may have gotten lost amidst the 'shoulds' and various other messages absorbed over time.

Achieving personal growth is a commitment of time and effort. Lasting change is hard work. That's why my style is warm, open, and direct. A sense of humor helps too. Whether you're interested in brief, solution-focused assistance or longer term work, I'll help you uncover the causes of your current challenges by examining how past experiences, thought patterns, or other issues prevent you from having a more fulfilling life. Everyone comes to therapy for unique reasons. I feel I've done my job when my clients can leave with a greater sense of well-being and self-confidence.

Do you ever stand back and take a look at the big picture of your life and wonder how things ended up this way? Do you feel unhappy with your choices or situation, but unsure about how to start unraveling barriers and start moving in the direction that you want? I can help you examine your choices and behaviors, big and small, understand how they might be keeping you stuck or unfulfilled, and collaboratively find your power to make changes that bring you more in line with the kind of life you want and deserve to have.
