Many people feel stuck and overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or life transitions. I provide culturally sensitive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Insight-Oriented Therapy, helping individuals, couples, and families manage stress, anxiety, depression, work-life balance, and relationship challenges. My approach blends psychology, mindfulness, and creative problem-solving to build resilience, gain clarity, and foster self-expression. With over 30 years of experience, I create a supportive space where clients uncover patterns, develop strategies, and reconnect with their individual voice and purpose.

Therapy is more than symptom management, it’s about creating meaningful change. Whether using structured CBT techniques, insight-oriented exploration, or creative methods, I tailor sessions to each client’s unique needs. Together, we will challenge limiting beliefs, navigate emotional blocks, and cultivate the confidence to move forward.
If you’re looking for a therapist in Chicago who values cultural sensitivity, self-expression, and personal growth, let’s connect. I’m here to help you break through uncertainty and take the next steps toward emotional well-being, clarity, and confidence.
