Female Therapists in Naperville, IL
Everyone wants to know that they matter and that they have worth. Sometimes life gets in the way and interferes with our ability to tap into our sense of belonging and being accepted as we are. Helping clients navigate through life issues and challenges and healing the deeper wounds that affect our day to day functioning is a passion of mine. What does it mean to be "healthy and whole"? Discovering this and working toward healing and thriving where you are at is a rewarding experience!

Creating the life you want to live can be incredibly difficult. The forces pushing you to conform to expectations are strong. But what I have learned is that there is a force inside each of us which is even stronger. Jung called this force the “Self” and the process that it sets in motion is “individuation.” Honoring the impulses coming from the Self moves us on to a path which is ours alone, where we can discover the deep passions and purpose of our existence. Are you ready and willing to answer the “call to adventure?’

Your healing can begin right now when you make the brave decision to choose a therapist who will listen deeply, seek to understand your feelings, and help you create a new and empowering story about who you truly are. That is my approach to therapy. My aim is to teach my clients how to identify old, limiting beliefs that interfere with their relationships, their sense of purpose, and inner peace. Together, we can work on healing the unhealthy relationship you have with yourself if you are willing to shed that old identity to embrace one that is whole, genuine, and resilient.

I believe the greatest gift we can give someone is to not just listen to their story, but to truly hear them. While we do not have control over what happens to us, we are in control of how we respond. By learning to acknowledge and understand our feelings and thoughts, and then how to properly handle them, we can feel more confident in mastering harmony in our lives.
