Therapists in Illinois
My goal is to work alongside those seeking to process past experiences, address current life stressors and attain an overall improved quality of life. Through building strong therapeutic relationships, clients are able to successfully reach their identified goals and find healing. Clients identify the area in which they would like to process and I work alongside them at their pace and comfort level. I believe that the therapeutic alliance is the most important part of therapy and I emphasize building that relationship so that a successful outcome is achieved.

We all would like our lives to be deeply satisfying, with good relationships, a sense of belonging, and a feeling like we are contributing members of society. However, sometimes we lose our way. We experience a loss of connection to ourselves or with others, we maintain beliefs and behaviors that were once helpful but now no longer serve us, or we get stuck in relationships that lack mutuality and intimacy.
As a clinical psychologist with over fifteen years experience, I use a variety of techniques as we journey together help you:

Our minds and bodies hold the experiences of our lives, and sometimes the emotions behind these experiences can get stuck within us and disrupt our lives. As an art therapist, I want to help you release these emotions through various art-making processes that engage your senses. Together we will creatively explore thoughts, emotions, and relationships, and set goals. I work with clients of all ages and abilities. I have a passion for working with individuals with developmental, intellectual, and physical disabilities. I want to empower you by offering alternative ways of creating art and looking at the world, yourself.

Therapy is for everyone. Nothing is "wrong" with you for going to therapy. You don't have to wait for things to get worse before you seek help. You have been waiting for your problems to get "big enough" so you can justify going to therapy. Until now, you've been dealing with them on your own or by confiding in friends. Maybe what once helped you cope with starting a new school year or job transition is no longer enough. Perhaps your problems have become so overwhelming that it seems like there's no end in sight. You want something to change.
