Description
I believe everyone deserves to enjoy a meaningful, fulfilling life, but I know from experience how challenging that can be at times. Let me help you develop coping skills for various issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, pre and postpartum issues, career-related issues, teen issues, attachment and family issues, and relationship challenges.
While I see clients for a variety of reasons, my area of specialty is relationships. I can help you work to improve your relationship as a couple (Gottman couples counseling level 2 trained therapist), premarital counseling, learn healthy relationship skills as a single person, parenting issues, and manage difficult family dynamics. I can teach you about attachment, how it affects your relationships, how to manage the triggers you experience, and how to develop a healthier relationship with yourself and others.
I use directness with warmth, compassion, and support, to create a judgment-free zone where you can be yourself and take off the "mask." Sure therapy can be tough at times, but also enjoyable and rewarding when you see the progress you are making. Therapy can be short or long term depending on your presenting problems.
Presently I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, Cigna, Aetna insurance and self-pay. You must reside in the state of Illinois.
