Female Therapists in Highwood, IL

There are times in life when issues can feel too big to handle on your own. At these moments I believe it is a strength to reach out and ask for help. It has been a labor of love for me that for over 30 years I have been able to help people through these difficult times.

I have been in practice since 2002, helping adolescents, adults, couples, families and groups. I work collaboratively with clients from a biopsychosocial perspective, using the interrelationship between the mind and body as a focus for treatment. As a medical psychologist on hospital staff, I diagnose and treat psychological issues in outpatient or inpatient therapy.

It's a privilege to work with clients on the things that matter to them the most. Our dreams, our goals and our closest relationships, these are at the core of who we are and our path toward creating a life that is happy, satisfying and complete. All of us can benefit from the support and encouragement of a therapist who listens and helps to understand so that we can build the lives and relationships we hope for. As a therapist, my goal is to support you in a caring way. I do this by creating a non-judgmental and accepting space where individuals and couples can work through what is stopping them.

Through joint exploration, I assist my clients in helping them focus and create a more rich, full and meaningful life, while effectively trying to manage the stress and pain that life inevitably brings.

Does your anxiety take over at the worst possible moments of your day? Do you feel like you try harder and harder to change unhelpful habits but don’t seem to follow through on? Getting stuck in this cycle is exhausting, feels shameful, and depleting. What if you were to try different and not harder? My goal is to help people manage difficult experiences before it leads them to flake on friends, use substances, or have conflict in relationships. I work with adults and young adults to empower themselves to deal with life on life's terms.

I understand that even starting the process of therapy can feel daunting. Together we will work to tackle the difficult challenges you are facing, identifying and setting goals while building healthy coping strategies.
