Professional statement

Berit earned a Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago in 2010 and for the past 12+ years she has worked with individuals and families from a variety of backgrounds who have struggled with a variety of concerns.

Berit has worked with children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and the elderly about issues ranging from depression/anxiety, chronic illnesses, addiction/eating disorders, grief/loss, relationship struggles, identity crises, and stage-of-life changes.

Berit aims to provide a non-judgmental, objective, and critical look at whatever her clients are finding difficult right now and help them navigate these struggles while remaining open and kind. Her approach is holistic and focuses on helping her clients find flexibility within their lives while staying committed to what's important to them.

Message to clients

If you have found your way to this page it's likely that you are struggling with something significant in your life. It can be a relationship, personal concern, or professional issue, and sometimes it's all of those things at once. No matter what brought you here, I'm genuinely glad it did. I know that just seeking help can feel daunting and I want you to know that I see it as my job to help you feel safe and accepted with me as your therapist. I work from an evidence-based framework and if you decide to work with me we will start from where you are now and progress at your best pace.

I also firmly believe that mental health doesn't have to always be heavy or dreary and that finding greater psychological flexibility can be a fun (and sometimes funny) journey of self-discovery. I pride myself on finding joy, even in difficult times, while still respecting the gravity and pain of what you are experiencing.

I know finding a therapist can be vulnerable and hard. If you think we might be a good match, I encourage you to reach out for a consultation call.
