BlueCross BlueShield Therapists in Orland Park, IL
Through my decades of experience I have seen that we all struggle with feelings of not being "Good Enough" in some way. Whether that is smart enough, lovable enough, or many other not enoughs. We form these beliefs during our lives and many things trigger that NOT GOOD ENOUGH feeling. We may react emotionally when the "not good enough" feeling is triggered. EMDR & Mindfulness are great tools to help calm down our emotions so we have better control of them. My client's say I have an easy going and personable style. I have such high regard for my client's bravery and strength to seek help!

While we are taught how to drive, how to cook, etc., we are rarely given an education on how to cope with the stressors of our daily lives. Through understanding, validation, and support, I help my clients achieve their full potential. By providing support and insight, my clients have the opportunity to work at their own pace and deal with issues that they feel are preventing them from moving forward. In my practice, I try to provide both emotional support and tools that can be used beyond the therapy session.

Counseling is a relationship between the client and counselor, working together to make positive changes to what may not be working in relationships and their daily lives. The goal of this relationship is to assess patterns of behavior and find new ways of interacting. I have over 10+ years experience with couples, families, and individuals in a therapeutic setting. I am currently doing EMDR therapy.

Waitlist for new clients
I seek to work with clients who have experiences with trauma and abuse, having seen firsthand how devastating the untreated symptoms of trauma can be on a person's functioning with family, in the workplace and within communities. These symptoms include panic attacks, anxiety, depression, PTSD and can often lead to disabling substance use disorders among other issues. These clients seek to understand why they cannot manage their emotions and have often normalized their abusive experiences, so they do not see why they are struggling to function as easily as they perceive others to be doing.

If you can change your thoughts, you can change your world. I believe that our day-to-day thoughts directly dictate our emotions and ultimately our decisions and actions. Whether it is childhood trauma, adult anxiety or postpartum depression, we can take captive every self-defeating thought and turn that negative narrative into a powerful and hopeful future. Regaining control over our thoughts and actions can provide such lasting peace and happiness. My focus is to thoroughly get to know my patients, by listening to and trying my best to understand their unique experiences, while working collaboratively toward agreed upon goals.

I knew at a young age that I wanted to be a counselor, having experienced first-hand the effects of substance abuse in my own family. This has given me a strong foundation from which to be present to others. My approach to therapy includes the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness. I have many years of experience working with adolescents and adults with addictions and dual disorders.

You can't hate or shame yourself into the changes you want to see in your life, and I'll help you learn to love yourself (or at least be a little kinder to yourself) to become the version of yourself you want to be. Carl Rogers, an inspirational therapist, said, "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." Healing from trauma, depression, anxiety, or any mental health issue is a journey of self-acceptance, and you deserve support along that journey.

Heal. Grow. Create a life aligned with who you truly are. Depression and anxiety may be blocking the path to your authentic self. You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, wanting to isolate, constantly feeling on edge, and feeling so drained that you can’t find the motivation to change unhealthy patterns. Relationships, emotional wounds, childhood trauma, and the demands and expectations of life may be just a few of the contributing factors. Or you may have no idea why you are feeling this way. Therapy can help gain clarity to move forward. My goal is to help you feel more aligned, hopeful, empowered, and confident in your life.
