Find a Therapist in Westchester, Illinois.

We can work together to develop a game plan to help you to to accomplish your goals for our work together. This will include decisions about how frequently to meet (example: once or twice weekly), your specific goals (and what will be different when the issue is resolved), options for working towards your goals, and what specific strategies you would like to use (I can suggest a variety of them for you - for example, perhaps you are interested in mindfulness, meditation, or laughter yoga!!)

I believe psychotherapy helps teach us how to have healthy relationships, cope with life stressors, and learn to love and accept ourselves. Within my psychotherapy sessions and groups I begin with identifying what your presenting problem is and we begin to work on solving how you got to this problem. I often discuss the importance of self love, assertiveness, and the importance of communicating effectively. I work with my clients to lift them up and empower them to recognize unhealthy habits and relationships and replace them with sustainable healthy habits that benefit them in every aspect of their lives.

Psychotherapy can be greatly beneficial to you if you are struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, difficulties adjusting to a situation in your life, trouble communicating with others, difficulties managing stress, or feeling stuck in life. Psychological counseling can help you decrease feelings of anxiety or depressed mood, manage stress more effectively, improve communication with others, decrease unwanted thoughts, increase self-care, and make healthier decisions. Along with support and encouragement, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help you effectively meet your personal goals.
