Strength-Based Therapists in Orland Park, IL

“A healthy outside starts from the inside”-Robert Urich I view therapy as a collaborative process among individuals, couples, or families to enhance their strengths and overcome their limitations. My approach to counseling is to provide a safe, warm, and positive space to allow my clients to live healthy, happy, and productive lives. I utilize individual, person centered, mindfulness and cognitive therapy to achieve the goals we establish together. I counsel a diverse group of adolescents, teens, and adults.

My approach is strengths based, focused on solutions, and present and forward directed. We will explore new possibilities and opportunities to learn how to lessen your current clinical symptoms, while improving your sense of self-acceptance, increasing your resiliency, and developing a healthier and more effective behavioral pattern moving forward. Together, we will collaborate on aligning your treatment goals with your own personal values within a warm, empathic, and compassionate space.

It's easy to have moments where we no longer recognize ourselves in the mirror and lose who we are when life gets chaotic. We are desperate to reconnect with ourselves again. Whether you are beginning your journey of self-discovery or trying to reinvent yourself, I am here to provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment for self-exploration. We will work together to find a sense of belonging that matches your authentic self. During treatment, I take an integrative approach that includes individual psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to encourage therapeutic growth.

Life transitions and difficulties often can be overwhelming to go through alone. We sometimes need guidance and support to overcome life challenges and to achieve our goals. You may be struggling with a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, self-esteem issues or chronic mental health disorders. Ultimately, you want to live a more fulfilling and satisfying life, free from the limitations and obstacles that have been holding you back. We can work together to achieve your goals and work towards the process of self-discovery and healing.

I believe that we are not defined by our darkest moments or a point in a time, but rather by the ways we choose to overcome them. When you're ready, we'll unpack your history or past traumas, exploring how and why you're currently struggling, embrace difficult emotions, and empower you to make change outside of our sessions. You won't find homework or a specific agenda with no room for conversation, or a cold and rigid presence from me. Although therapy can be hard and bring up many feelings, there will always be time to celebrate your wins and laugh about about the everyday, humorous parts of our lives.

Are you feeling stressed out? Do you feel overwhelmed by work, maintaining relationships and being able to make time for yourself? You may have found yourself feeling anxious or sad about not knowing how to strike a healthy balance. Most people tend to seek therapy when they are in crisis and feel nothing is working. Whether it’s your first time in therapy or your 100th time, today could be the day you choose to show up for yourself. Therapy can be useful for reducing stress, learning new coping skills and a place to express your feelings. Booking a session with me can be the catalyst for you becoming your best self.

My experience is working with young adults and adults struggling with alcohol and substance use, anxiety, or self esteem challenges. I will provide a judgement free and compassionate space for us to work together to both understand and edit your narrative.
