In Person Therapists in Lake Zurich, IL

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is reach out and make that phone call for support. When a part of you realizes the issues or struggles are beginning to feel too overwhelming to manage alone. Although it may not feel like it at the time this is your inner strength that has always been there wanting to guide you forward on your path... Maybe you may feel stuck in certain areas of your life and wish to move forward but are unsure of how to do that. Or you have placed the needs of others before your own. Perhaps at times you might even feel unworthy of help. This is the time to invest in yourself and your potential.

I would love to see each individual experiencing life at their full potential. I also understand that there are many things that can get in the way of that.

My commitment is to come along side you by providing skills, knowledge, reflection, support, and encouragement.

I believe that an effective therapeutic relationship consists of respect and trust, this is what I seek to establish with each of my clients.

I hope to establish a safe, private and peaceful setting in which you feel comfortable to work on the therapeutic goals we set together.

I have found great joy in serving under the umbrella of Behavioral Health. I began my professional journey as a mental health counselor at Allendale Associates in 2013. I was passionate about my discipline, but I quickly realized the need to explore the correlation between behavior, trauma, and family in order to become more effective in my service and purpose. Additionally, the nexus of disciplines inherent in this helping profession, fuels my unequivocal appreciation for the dynamics of the home life and its impact on the youth; hence, I became a Certified Parent Educator and Licensed Professional Counselor.

Relationships of any kind can cause pain and confusion. It's hard to know what went wrong or why cycles of toxic relationships keep happening. People are drawn to loved ones for caring support. When these relationships become hurtful, it is common to feel isolated, trapped in your own home, and desperately needing clarity and peaceful stability. While the pain is real, there is great joy in taking steps towards healthier relationships. You deserve all the trust, encouragement, and companionship that positive people can bring to your life.

If your child or adolescent is struggling with emotional/behavioral challenges, anxiety, depression, self-harm or suicidal ideation, please know that you are not alone. For the past 18 years, I've been working with families to regain a sense of peace in their homes and in their lives. Living with a child who is emotionally dysregulated takes a toll on the entire family. Together, we will set goals towards change. Your needs will drive the type of therapeutic approach I utilize. Riley, my therapy dog certified through Therapy Dogs of America (TDI) often joins me in sessions based on client preference.

The ideal patient is one who is one in pursuit of growth and desire to become more fully themselves. A willingness to discover and develop awareness of yourself is fundamental to our therapeutic work. As we honestly, kindly, and compassionately explore and learn about those inner processes, we will bring healing and conscious changes to the present dynamics and behaviors which have led to seek out supports. As we move closer to closure with a positive outcome, we will incorporate changes in how we relate to Self and to others, and set forth to live a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Many people struggle with anxiety and depression as they cope with life's uncertainties. We are all redefining "normal." My training in CBT, EMDR, Strengths Centered, and Person Centered Therapy with men, women, children, elders, and caregivers is well rounded. People are dealing with trauma, abuse, employment issues, grief, mental illness, addiction, co-dependency, physical illness, parenting, divorce, retirement, and loss of identity. Everyone wants to know they have a "purpose." I specialize in helping clients with their journey. Most people want to feel safe, loved, understood, and appreciated. I can help with that.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is a collaborative process built off trust, support, and an empathetic environment. Together I hope we can build a safe space to explore emotional connections, understand helpful and unhelpful behavior patterns, and build resilience within. I have experience working with adults, children, and families in a variety of settings including community mental health, mobile crisis response, and therapeutic support services in schools.

Relationships are complicated. Some relationships take so much energy that you start to wonder if they're even worth the effort. This may apply to a spouse, significant other, or even a parent. A relationship that once felt love, now feels painful and exhausting. Maybe you're finding yourself full of anxiety or feelings of depression, and it all seems to lead back to this one person. . . Who you love. It's time to get therapy for yourself, so you can get a handle on these feelings, figure out what to do next, and start healing.

We are a cooperative of professionals who are dedicated to providing effective, thoughtful, and compassionate psychotherapy. At Stableway Counseling Services we work to provide our clients with highly personalized therapeutic care and understanding. We would love to see each individual experiencing life at their full potential. However, we understand that there are many things that can get in the way of that. It is our hope to offer a space for others to explore, grow, learn, and become the person that they would like to be.

I view therapy as a rare opportunity to nurture your inner world and be truly "seen" by another person. When you confront your pain, and hear your own voice in a space free from ridicule and shame, you can begin speaking to and treating yourself with compassion and curiosity. I draw upon Psychodynamic, Existential, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) to support you in attuning to your needs, boundaries, and strengths. My approach with family members impacted by addiction is based in Community Reinforcement and Family Therapy (CRAFT).

Life’s chaos and competing needs are hard enough, don’t walk it alone. Rather than feeling alone and overwhelmed, let me help you find space to be heard, seen, and understood.

Teens and families also need a space for honest connection and I can help you find avenues through your stuck places.

Through a collaborative and compassionate approach, I guide clients in building self-awareness and developing effective coping mechanisms. I draw upon a range of evidence-based techniques, including mindfulness, acceptance strategies, and cognitive behavioral therapy, to empower clients to identify patterns, challenge negative thoughts, and cultivate healthier behaviors.

My hope for our work together is that you are able to reach inside yourself and nurture the damaged parts of who you have been and move toward becoming the person you want to be.
