Self Esteem Therapists in Gurnee, IL
As a therapist and educational advocate, I work with tweens, teens, adults and families to bring out their best selves by using successes in the past to confront and conquer current life challenges. It is okay to struggle with anxiety; the goal is to make sure you don't suffer from it. Parent coaching means understanding great kids can also make bad decisions. We work together to learn practical strategies to put in your parent toolbox. I'm also passionate about helping parents trust their instincts by decoding specialized vocabulary of IEPs and help parents assert their expertise when it comes to the special needs of special kids.

I have been a therapist for over 20 years. I love people, and appreciate the authentic, meaningful relationships I have with my clients. I bring warmth, compassion and humor into my sessions. This helps establish and nurture a strong, therapeutic bond, which is essential for the difficult work of therapy. Life is really hard, and therapy can reveal hope in the midst of pain and confusion. It illuminates the inner strength and resiliency that people need, but often can’t see or access within themselves.

Have you ever felt “stuck” in your life and not sure how to move forward to make positive changes? I strongly believe that when we cannot make changes to our situation, we need to make changes to our thinking and perception, which requires exploration and support. When we can make changes to our situation, it can be risky and scary and best done with plenty of planning and validation. I am passionate about helping people make these “shifts” in perception and situation.

I have a passion for couples seeking to improve their relationship with their spouse or significant other and who yearn for deeper levels of emotional, relational and physical intimacy. I also come alongside parents and their children to develop better ways of communicating by giving them tools as to how to relate to each other in ways that create a calmer, more peaceful home, where defiant attitudes give way to mutual cooperation and higher levels of trust and respect between all family members.

Welcome! Let us take a moment to acknowledge you for taking the first steps towards seeking help. I imagine this is not easy, but it is a sign of strength. I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow, heal and change, and learn new ways for improving their well-being. You can begin to heal by recognizing how important your thoughts and feelings are in navigating this world. Often, we can attempt to solve everything and sometimes we "solve" ourselves into various situations that take a piece out of us, leaving us fragmented and further away from tending to our whole selves.

Therapy is a challenging step to take, so I would like to introduce you to a different perspective of therapy. Growing up we learn how to care for our wellbeing. We may go through life taking care of our physical health, hygiene, and any injuries that may occur, but how much do we tend to the rest of what makes us who we are- our thoughts and emotions? I welcome you to care for all of your wellbeing. Including your mental health.

I have worked with adolescents, children, and adults in mental health and social work for over 20 years. I have extensive experience helping those who struggle with anxiety, depression, identity development, non-heterosexuality or non-cis gender (LGBTQI+), and ethically non-monogamous (polyamorous) relationships. I also have a history working with people with substance abuse problems and women in transition, as well as those coping with grief and loss. I have supported individuals who happen to be neurodivergent in terms of their unique needs. I believe everyone is deserving of respect, care and support.
