Adlerian Therapists in Kenilworth, IL

My primary goal for my clients is to achieve healing on the deepest level. As an Adlerian trained therapist, I utilize psychodynamic as well as alternative modalities to explore, transform and heal those perceptions and beliefs that may be negatively impacting their lives. Whether it's one on one, couples, or group therapy, I am actively participating, encouraging, and guiding my clients so they feel safe and supported to examine and process their deepest emotional wounds.

I believe that the first step in getting help is asking for help. It is during this process that I have learned that creating a safe and comfortable place for my clients to work towards their goals is my ultimate passion.

Through an increased awareness, I will help my clients understand their core beliefs about themselves and the world in which they navigate. I am here to help my clients enhance their communication and emotional intelligence in a sensitive, structured and collaborative way.

I place an emphasis on assisting people in advocating for themselves, which sometimes comes in the shape of creating healthier boundaries or learning how to better communicate your needs. We all deserve to move through life being loved for who we are.

As a firm believer in the power of genuine human connection, the dynamic between my clients and I is of my highest priority.
