Transpersonal Therapists in Chicago, IL

Welcome! Starting therapy is not easy. It requires self-awareness, vulnerability, and a lot of courage. I work with clients (18 and above) experiencing a wide range of life challenges; depression, anxiety, emotional difficulties, and addiction. I feel most of these are a symptom of larger core issues in our lives that result in moments of disconnection of self and others due to trauma, and deep wounds in relationships throughout the lifespan. It is my goal to help you find out the core issues to help relieve symptoms. No matter what specific symptoms you're experiencing, we all need a safe place to be heard and seen.

I have 21+ yrs experience working with individuals to develop a more meaningful life, facilitating personal growth & finding ways to manage difficult life situations. If you have anxiety/depression, we will identify patterns of thoughts/behaviors that impact your well-being & functioning. People come to therapy for many reasons; to improve communication skills, address trauma, establish boundaries, or understand who they are and their place in the world. if you are unsure of what you need out of therapy, we will work together to figure it out. I am easy to talk to & have a sense of humor. Licensed in IL & CO

Growth is thwarted by fear--both the known fears we can name and the hidden fears that manifest in self-defeating behaviors. As your counselor, I'll be your ally--giving you as much insight and encouragement as needed to vanquish fears and enhance personal growth. Drawing on 20 years of study and experience in the ancient, spiritual Wisdom Teachings as well as a formal education in psychology and philosophy, I am committed to helping you clear the path to a satisfying, meaningful life.

In today's world, it is easy to feel alone, even when surrounded by people. Between current life stressors and issues carried from our childhoods, life can feel overwhelming. Feelings can come up which are confusing, uncomfortable, or cause anxiety. Transitions and aging often bring about questions like "am I really happy?" or "who am I really?" Sometimes you just need a place where you can relax, explore, and be heard. Sometimes you need a place where you can integrate all that you are. And sometimes you need a skilled, established therapist to walk with you on your journey.

I have immediate openings for new clients. I specialize in individual therapy for depression, anxiety, stress related to family and relationships dynamics, eating disorders, and trauma-related stressors. Engaging in a therapeutic process requires vulnerability and courage; I admire and respect you for making the decision of going through the journey to your inner world.

What circumstances shifted you into this specific moment in time...to bring this bio into your awareness? Was it the guilt that has consumed you since morning of how you didn’t show up exactly how you envisioned being the best parent...or that you have become conscious to the burden of unrealistic expectations upon self and have decided to courageously dive into the depths of your shadows? Perhaps you have questions about self you never have had before and feeling like no one can relate. All you would like is for someone to hold space while you allow emotions like sadness or anger to flow and feel you are able to cry without shame!

By picking up the phone and contacting a therapist, you've taken the hardest step: a coming to an awareness that you would like to affect change in your life. I believe in an interactive, dynamic approach where together we explore the history of an issue, it's effects and most importantly, institute a positive plan for change.

With over two decades of experience working with diverse populations in the Chicagoland area specializing in MDD, GAD, PTSD, and OCD.

My primary goal for my clients is to achieve healing on the deepest level. As an Adlerian trained therapist, I utilize psychodynamic as well as alternative modalities to explore, transform and heal those perceptions and beliefs that may be negatively impacting their lives. Whether it's one on one, couples, or group therapy, I am actively participating, encouraging, and guiding my clients so they feel safe and supported to examine and process their deepest emotional wounds.

My orientation towards psychology was born out of my own difficulties in life; I want to make sure that those who seek help are able to get it. That said, I do best with clients who are at their worst, rock bottom. Fear of death and existential concerns, intrusive thoughts and urges, powerful and intense emotions, chronic stress and fatigue, loss of sense of self, lack of meaning and purpose in life, not being able to tell what's real and what isn't, regardless what it is. Whatever is your breaking point is the point at which you can change your life forever, I can help you through that process. The only way out is through.
