Therapists in Lake County, IL

I have been providing psychological and behavioral services in the Chicagoland and Grand Rapids, Michigan area for the last 14 years. In session I am empathetic and positive, working collaboratively with each client, in overcoming life challenges. Due to the vast amount of experience I have gained in both psychotherapy as well as behavioral modification, my therapeutic approach is diverse and can be non-directive, guiding the client at their own pace, or directive in nature. My goal is to assist each client to a happier, healthier, productive life, in a safe environment.

I have been a licensed clinical social worker for over twenty years. I enjoy helping others reach their potential, and I see therapy as a journey. Whether it be short-term or long-term, my ability to build rapport and trust enables my clients to work on their issues openly in a collaborative manner. It is important to know that you are the author of your story and it is equally important to define your goals. My approach is to encourage self-discovery and to help provide other perspectives and coping strategies to enhance your life. It's about skill-building and managing new situations using new coping mechanisms, not old ones.

I help people cope with distress arising from past or current situations. Major life changes can be overwhelming. It can be particularly difficult when balancing the challenges of relationships, having a family, dealing with learning issues at school, or receiving a diagnosis. I will work with you by developing insight into problems, assisting in change, and providing support as needed. Starting the process of receiving help for personal issues can be difficult. Together we will pursue excellence in care and work hard to maintain uncompromising standards to meet individual goals.

Are you stressed? Is your body speaking to you with hard to understand symptoms? There's a tension that remains when a task is incomplete. This tension is not only related to the projects we have yet to complete but also relates to the internal tension from not speaking our truth.
