Couples Counseling Therapists in Illinois
I currently work with adolescents, young adults, adults, and couples.
To me, therapy is a collaborative experience with the intent to promote real change and liberation. I place great value in the therapeutic relationship that is fostered through honesty, warmth, acceptance. Through the therapeutic relationship, I hope to establish a safe and non-judgmental environment that encourages vulnerability and change. Working together, we construct effective coping techniques, communication skills, healthy boundaries and behaviors, and improved life functioning.

An experienced sex & trauma therapist, I have worked with survivors of sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and domestic abuse.
Accepting new clients of all ages with immediate availability! As a sex therapist, I pride myself on setting a space that permits you to take an inspired role in your healing journey, and it is my job to provide support and empowerment. I understand that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all practice, which is why I tailor my approach to each client depending on the nuance of the situation. It gives my life meaning to participate in a healing community, working one-on-one with people, offering a safe space to process whatever is needed: life, relationships, triggers, and other obstacles, and develop useful and pragmatic coping tools.

We have worked with those experiencing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem/body image, health and relationship issues, trauma, stress, work/life balance issues and loneliness.
Our life's work is helping clients achieve a better sense of self and happiness...more recently we've recognized that without good mental health providers, finding this balance in life can be more difficult and stressful. As a result, we tend toward an Integrative approach and help our clients transform into the people they want to be. We see each client as an individual with many parts to their identity. Utilizing a holistic and systemic approach we help clients reintegrate the parts of themselves to function better as individuals and within their systems. Our focus tends toward a systems based approach using behavior methods.

I service various types of couples (heterosexual, poly, LGBTQIA, high conflict), various family compositions and individuals experiencing, abuse, complex trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, low self-esteem and identity issues.
Relationships are challenging and trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, worry, shame and guilt are just some of the things that can hinder you from not only achieving a healthy relationship but also being the best version of yourself. As a Couples and Family therapist I help individuals, couples and families achieve relationship satisfaction, gain a deeper understanding of self and each other and heal from wounds that are negatively impacting the ability to heal. I believe that each individual in a relationship has their own individual thoughts and beliefs that are impacted by childhood and the families we are born into.

I am particularly adept at understanding relationship dynamics.
Have you been through the spin cycle one too many times in your relationship or marriage? Asking yourself, "How did I get here?" Coming out of divorce or contemplating divorce or separation? Do you think your partner is a narcissist? Or are they avoiding issues that you know are relevant? Do they blame you for everything? Have you or your partner experienced childhood trauma and it is wreaking havoc on your relationship? Maybe you have just had enough and you need to sort out your feelings and get grounded. The fact is that relationships, both past and present, lie at the core of all of our problems.

I believe that the most important factor in successful therapy is the client-therapist relationship, and I utilize an approach based on authenticity, humor, and warmth.
Accepting new clients! Working from an anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and LGBTQIA+ affirming lens, I want to ensure a safe space where all of my clients feel seen, heard, safe, and respected. As humans, we all want connection, although sometimes these connections cause intense emotions and great amounts of pain. I recognize the stress of single parenting, the communication issues in romantic relationships and/or families, and the struggles of dating in a world of right and left swiping.

I love to work with couples navigating the tasks of different life stages: premarital, transition to parenthood, divorcing/co-parenting, fertility challenges, blending family, working parent challenges, empty-nesting, retirement-facing.
I specialize in providing therapy to couples. As a relationally-trained therapist, I bring curiosity to the ways circularity works in couple relationships: how are patterns co-created and maintained? Through a collaborate and creative process, clients will grow individual and relational self-awareness. Together, we will consider the importance of validation and curiosity in reducing conflict. I support clients in naming emotions, needs, and hurts, so that they may become bids for connection, instead of hidden sources of detachment.
