Social Worker, MSW, Clinical LCSW

Glenview, IL

Adults often reach out for therapy in times of stress, uncertainty or emotional pain. In many areas of your life, you may thrive, yet struggle with relationships, anxiety or depression. If you are facing challenges in your couple or married life, such as opposing attachment styles (avoidant vs. anxious) parenting stress, aging family members, or coping with anger & frustration I can help. Workplace demands - difficult supervisors, personality conflicts, job transitions & retirement can also create discontent. Together we examine the difficulties, utilize your strengths & repair obstacles that continually get in your way. My approach to therapy examines present challenges and the experiences that shaped them. Recognizing these underlying themes clarifies the link between what you say and do and what happens next. We face your emotional triggers to reduce the often-reactive negative response with insightful choices. Learning to say yes when it's warranted and no when it protects your wellbeing & is key to a strong sense of self. Achieving strong rewarding relationships represents the cornerstone of wellbeing. Letting go of unfulfilling, maybe familiar patterns (making the same mistakes over and over) and replacing them with insight, resilience and healthier choices. I
