I seek to serve members of the clergy and their families in Illinois. You and your dear ones often experience great joy and meaning in your callings. Along with these, however, you frequently feel lonely, isolated, judged, never good enough, overwhelmed, overworked, underpaid, and dismissed, feelings which you dare not share with others. You need to be seen and heard by someone with whom you can freely express these emotions, speak your truth, and be your authentic self. With me, you will find a non-judgmental therapist who has had similar experiences and who understands the unique challenges which clergy and their families face.

A lot is expected from us. It can feel daunting, overwhelming and unending. We juggle work, education, relationships, and finances. And if the external expectations weren’t already enough, we are often experiencing internal contradictions- competing parts of ourselves; internal battles of productivity versus laziness; authenticity versus social pressure, fear versus courage. It seems the expectations and noise exist both outside of us and within us. When a person is dealing with past and current traumas, symptoms of anxiety, depression or ADHD, life can feel chaotic- leaving us in a state of numbness and fatigue.

Ideal clients respect the boundaries of the relationship and know when and how to use their therapist (who helps). It's an old joke that people come to therapy because of someone else who really needs it, but to me, we're all a little (or a lot) blind to our own stuff. Therapy is, or should be, a safe place. Most seasoned therapists are still in it because they find it effective and personally gratifying. I guess I'm one.

Have you been feeling 'crowded out', like there is no room for you to feel, to slow down and sort out what's right for you, and to enjoy your life? Perhaps self-critique, anger, sadness, physical tension and pain, or fear get so big on the inside that you feel crowded out that way? Perhaps you are so used to deferring to the wants, needs and ideas of others in your external life that it's hard to hear your own internal compass.

Ever board a flight on a dark, dreary day, only to find yourself minutes later above the clouds in a clear sky? The truth is, the sun is always shining; it's just that at times, we can't see it. It's easy to loose track of the simple facts. I see therapy as a chance to remember or awaken some of the basic truths we may have known at one time, but through the ups and downs of life, have lost track of. Once reoriented to our truths, life feels more balanced and stable.

Marriage Whisperer! That's what a recent couple called me after one of our sessions. The reality is that I've been fortunate to be trained by Harville Hendrix, an expert in the field of couple's therapy and the founder of Imago Relationship Therapy. Imago therapy is a state-of-the-art system that gives couples of all kinds, the knowledge, and most importantly, the TOOLS to help each other give and receive the love they want. I work with couples both in my office, and in the weekend "Getting the Love You Want" workshops.
