Heal your past. Embrace the present.
Online Individual and Couples Therapy in Illinois
Alex feels ANXIOUS.
He tries to maintain a sense of calm, but the noise and demands of the world coil around him tighter and tighter until he can’t breathe. He feels the panic rising in his chest and just wants to run – sometimes he does.
Alex has worked hard to get where he is, but the memories of “that day” keep replaying over and over in his mind.
He wants to be able to relax, to feel capable and strong again. But he’s afraid that if he faces his past, he will lose control.
Monica and Isaac feel disconnected
Despite being married for years, sometimes they felt like strangers.
Their relationship was crumbling. Isaac felt distant and Monica felt hurt.
They didn’t know if it was possible to rekindle their spark after so many arguments and icy dinner table conversations.
Monica and Isaac knew that if something didn’t change, they’d lose each other to a loveless marriage.
Frank feels EXHAUSTED.
Every day he worries about what will happen when he can’t work from home anymore. He’s gotten so used to his solitary routine that he just wants to be left alone.
Lately, he doesn’t care about much of anything; his hobbies have grown dull, and he hasn’t returned a call or text in forever.
On the nights he manages to fall asleep, he is rattled awake by nightmares. He paces the house, checking the locks on his doors and windows, his heart pounding.
Frank doesn’t remember the last time he could let his guard down. He’s brittle with fatigue and ready to call it quits, one way or another.

Find the hope in your life that has been missing for too long.
Alex
scheduled an appointment to explore his options. He began to examine whether the patterns that had previously worked for him were still helpful. We built up his skills and used laser-focused therapy to target his specific issues. He wanted a proven path forward, and he found just that. Now he has gained a handle on his anxiety and reclaimed his life.
Monica and Isaac
were worried about rebuilding trust and finding ways to fall in love again. They learned how to identify and “short-circuit” their negative cycle. Each learned how to be vulnerable for the sake of healing and to access deep authenticity and connection. Now their relationship is stronger than ever.
Frank
needed a guide who had walked this path before. He wanted concrete strategies to deal with the pressure as it arises. In our sessions, he learned how to stop the stress before it starts and heal the past so he could live fully in the present.
