In Person Therapists in Park Ridge, IL
In a world filled with uncertainty and constant change, we often struggle to find peace and stability. Having a refuge to depend on is one way we can feel some sense of relief. I believe that the process of healing is not meant to be easy, and encourage clients to ease out of their comfort zone with the help of a guide.

You might be struggling with a painful relationship right now, feeling alternately drawn to and pulled apart from a particular someone. It may be a spouse, parent, sibling, child, friend, even co-worker. Or you might be involved in the often-difficult process of individuation, "growing up," sorting through who you are and who you want to be in the world, distinct from your roles as daughter/son, spouse, parent. My family-therapy skills have proven useful in healing relationship traumas such as abuse, affairs, or divorce, as well as with more general complaints of depression, anxiety, loneliness, and anger.

Maybe you or someone you care about seems to have lost control of your ability to drink, take medication, eat, gamble, have sex, use the internet, play video games in a way that is not disruptive or harmful to you or the ones you love. Is someone telling you that your behavior is a problem? Are you unable to consistently predict whether or not you can stop once you start? Do you find yourself planning, thinking about or engaging in the behavior when you need to be attending to other things in your life like relationships, work or school?

I believe that as we connect and attune to our inner wisdom and intuition, our path becomes clearer, we nourish and clarify our gifts, and we find the courage and compassion to show up as our genuine selves. We have many storytellers- our heart, our mind, our body, our spirit. Often through our upbringing and life experiences we learn to ignore or shut down those storytellers in order to survive.

Today's children are faced with many pressures. Kids worry about lots of things-from being accepted by their peers and parents to worrying about academic pressures, ADHD, divorce, crime, drugs and illness.
We understand these issues must be treated with great sensitivity-especially when working with children and adolescents. And that it is important that the therapeutic process be a positive experience in which young people feel safe and nurtured. Our goal is to help young people trust this process and understand that we're on "their team" as we help them successfully manage their world.

Life is oftentimes unsatisfactory and stressful which causes emotional pain and suffering in our daily lives.

My purpose in therapy is to bring an empathic and compassionate awareness and understanding of these negative attachments and provide practices to generate a positive wholesome sense of self and well-being.

I focus on helping clients discover core strengths and achieve greater self-awareness. I believe that when negative patterns are identified, clients can begin the process of uncovering root causes of dissatisfaction. In a safe and non-judgmental environment, clients can learn new tools and make conscious choices to create healthy relationships and improve overall well-being. I look holistically at the whole person through a lens of embodiment, while encouraging healthy lifestyle changes along with mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Healing begins when we are seen and heard, and can finally see & hear ourselves more clearly. Authentically. If you notice persistent negative thoughts, feel anxious when alone and/or with others, find yourself worrying, lack the motivation to accomplish your goals, are not sure what your goals are, and/or often feel frustrated with others, I believe I can help you. You will learn to reduce unnecessary mind chatter and focus on what's truly important to you. I am an active listener who will provide the ear for you to explore your habits, thoughts, and feelings and from there come closer to designing the life you want.

There are times when everyone needs support, advice and new ways of coping. Whether you are struggling with a particular issue or just feel "stuck", I can help.
