In Person Therapists in La Grange, IL

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, loss, relationship or family conflict and have been hesitant to try therapy or return to therapy, please feel free to reach out for help navigating these difficulties. We all have times in life when it would be beneficial to talk through and process challenging life events with a trained professional who is non-judgmental, empathic and firmly believes in an individual's internal wisdom towards healing when provided the right resources. Often life has a way of throwing us curveballs. It helps to have another person participate alongside us as we figure out how best to cope.

Establishing and maintaining meaningful relationships is often challenging. Perhaps your relationships lack intimacy, end abruptly, or you find yourself attracting the wrong kind of person. Psychotherapy is a process designed to examine these difficulties. As a therapist, I can assist you in exploring the personal beliefs and relational patterns which keep you from having satisfying relationships. Whether you are wanting to work on a significant relationship in couples or family therapy or address an individual concern, such as anxiety and/or depression, I will tailor the interventions specific to your circumstance. In addition to seeing adults, I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents.

I see therapy as a way for you to get free of the habits and perspectives that bind you, so that you can create the life you really want. So much of what makes us suffer is the chasm between how we think things ought to be and how they actually are. Therapy is an ideal way to reconcile these differences, to identify tools that will help you cope with challenges and make the most of your strengths. I use existential and cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy to work with clients on issues including life transitions, anxiety, depression, stress and career concerns.
