Individual Therapy

If you are new to therapy, WELCOME! You are incredibly brave. In individual therapy, we will meet one-on-one in a safe and confidential space. We will talk about your stressors, presenting problems, goals, and plans for how you can accomplish these goals. We can meet virtually on a HIPPA-compliant software or in-person at Buffalo Grove.

It will be a collaborative process and I provide you with tools and resources that will improve your quality of life. I will check-in with you every few sessions to see how we are progressing in therapy. I am open to constructive feedback, and will tailor my therapeutic approach based on your needs.

Couples/Family Therapy

In couples therapy, I will meet with you and your partner and we will explore stressors, presenting problems, goals, and plans for how we can accomplish these goals. It will be a safe space where the both of you can better express your feelings and needs. We can meet virtually through a HIPAA-compliant software or in-person at Buffalo Grove.

I will provide you with tools on how to communicate better, resolve conflict better, and prioritize each other’s needs better. The ideal shift is for the both of you to approach issues from a “you and me vs. the problem” instead of a “you vs. me problem”.

In family therapy, I will meet with the selected number of individuals or the entire family unit. The aim is for it to be a safe space where I can mediate difficult conversations and teach each member tools that can improve communication, better resolve conflict, and strengthen relationships within the family.

Each family member is part of a dynamic, and understanding the family as a whole is critical in addressing presenting issues. We will work collaboratively to improve the overall family functioning.
