Therapists in Chicago, IL

I completed my masters at Roosevelt University in 2019, majoring in Clinical Psychology. Prior to that, I attended the University of Missouri for my undergraduate studies, where I studied in Psychology, Black Studies & Sociology. Since entering the field of mental health, I have specialized in working with individuals and families from diverse populations, providing a person-centered & multiculturally focused approach to therapy. Clinically, I follow an integrated approach with an emphasis on person-centered and behavioral practices, and a focus on adapting mental health services & reducing mental heath stigma for all populations.

I found my way to social work by working as a paramedic in Chicago. This experience has shown me the intertwined nature of individual personal health and emotional well-being. It has also shown me the complicated ways in which social forces affect people and the communities in which they live. The resulting anxiety, depression, and trauma become barriers to thrive. However, after witnessing the resilience of people who endure these many life challenges, I am passionate about working alongside them. Everyone deserves support. I believe in creating spaces and communities that provide this for us all.

You are the most qualified expert on yourself. I am here to encourage, support, collaborate, and explore solutions with you. Life can be hard to manage, and reaching out for help is a huge first step. Whether you are experiencing a new crisis, have been dealing with mental health challenges for years, or are just looking for support for self-exploration, I strive to work with you, as a team, to reach whatever goals you set for yourself.

I began my career as a practicing attorney representing women in abusive relationships in order of protection and divorce proceedings. As a therapist, I use my legal and therapeutic background to provide individual counseling prior to, during, and after divorce. Divorce is a traumatic life event that can have a ripple effect on nearly every aspect of one's life. I offer clients both concrete help to better understand the legal system and what they can expect from the process, while also working to gain deeper insight into what happened in the relationship and starting to heal from the experience.

Well Grounded to me means a lot of different things but overall it’s about having a regulated nervous system. It means, making sure your cup is full before you try to fill others. It’s realizing that putting yourself first doesn’t mean you can’t show up in your other relationships. My goal is to help you find ways to reclaim your time, energy and power, so that you can be well & stay grounded. I want you to feel grounded in your shoes, socks and on this earth so that you can take up the space that surrounds you. You have to be grounded before you can blossom and you deserve to bloom.

Therapy helps relieve suffering and pain during times of loss or change, and can lead to significant growth and transformation, helping you to make important changes in your life, experience more vitality, and enjoy richer relationships. Most of us benefit from more support during major life transitions, such as a relationship crisis, work problems, loss of a loved one, or the birth of a child. Many of us also struggle to get what we want and need in our personal and professional lives. Partnering with a skilled therapist can help uncover obstacles, get to the root of issues, and create a path to move forward.

We will work together to help facilitate positive changes and move toward the life you imagine for yourself.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process and invite feedback at all stages of our work. I bring to therapy my previous experiences working in creative environments, to help clients foster new perspectives and solutions that fit your unique struggles, identities, and personality. My clients have come from diverse backgrounds and many have experienced abuse, loss, and/or marginalization. Therapy can offer some immediate relief from stress, depression, and anxiety, but I also work with clients to make lasting changes in the way you see and relate to yourself and others. I work with university students, couples, and adults.

When I was a kid, I observed my mom go through counseling. I saw her gain tools to manage depression and evolve into someone who knew her worth. She modeled for me how effective counseling can be.

Creative people often need multiple ways to process and integrate information before things "click" and real change takes place. Studio art therapy provides an accepting space for flexible self-expression that moves beyond words into the sensory and tangible world. I focus on helping clients connect their unconscious and conscious minds to align around personal and relationship goals in fresh, creative ways. Together we can enter a space where safety and exploration are bridged, and issues of mood, anxiety, and past trauma can be safely and effectively worked through to improve overall functioning through mind-body integration.
