Marriage Counselling Therapists in L4J

Whether you are contemplating ending your marriage, adjusting to being a single parent or struggling to manage the complexities of your new life, I understand how this process is a huge life-changing event. Managing a separation and divorce can be scary. You may be confronted with multiple demands, challenges, and emotions such as fear, grief, anger, confusion, anxiety, depression, a loss of self and a sense of being overwhelmed. I am here to listen, empathize and support you in reaching your personal goals as you move through this next chapter of life.

Do you feel stuck in life? Are you exhausted by intrusive thoughts that just don’t seem to stop no matter how hard you try? Are you someone who suffers from anxiety, sadness and self-esteem issues? Are you having a difficult time with stress management, making decisions to move forward in life, marital conflict, job related problems, difficulty relating to family members or just day-to-day life? My mission is to help you identify your goals and needs, while instilling a feeling of safety, trust and understanding and to foster resilience and direction in the achievement of your goals.

Betrayal in a relationship is traumatic. The one person who is meant to protect you, hurts you terribly. When you married your spouse there were expectations. You expected many of your needs to be met exclusively by your husband/wife. Somehow that is not happening. For whatever reason, you are not happy and secure in your relationship.

If you're a Millennial trying to make it, I understand what it is like to be the new lost generation. The world of work, the realities of dating + marriage, financial pressures and societal + parental expectations can make life overwhelming. Goals and dreams may seem out of reach or even impossible. Do you feel that life is an uphill battle? Or maybe, you are just going through the motions of life, but there is a lack of meaning and joy? I'm here to listen and guide you through exploring your own inner conflicts, ways of being, identity and aspirations.

Together we can uncover and understand the root causes that influence your circumstances and explore options for managing your presenting issues.
