Therapists in Chicago, IL

I approach clients with genuine curiosity, respect, and acceptance. I believe psychotherapy to be a vessel through which you can gain a deeper and fuller understanding of who you are and how you interact with the world. I view each therapy as shaped by the unique partnership between therapist and the client. It is through this partnership that you can begin to trust your emotional experiences, learn new ways of communicating, identify wants and needs, develop insight into your past and present, and clarify what is important and meaningful to you.

Do you feel stuck and anxious? Do you want to bring love and trust back into your relationship? Are you facing a difficult transition such as a break-up, parenthood, or a career challenge? I can help! Together we can develop insights, strategies, and tools to navigate the obstacles you face. My clinical specialties include couple conflict and communication issues, transitions within relationships, difficulties with family of origin, parenting, depression and anxiety, and personal growth and fulfillment. I am especially interested in helping adult children and their parents navigate conflict.

Is your anxiety preventing you (or your child) from being who you (or they) want to be? Wish you or your child could just get over it? If it was only that simple. Sometimes we just need someone who can give us the tools to not be crippled with anxiety. Anxiety is a necessary part of life, but shouldn't interfere. You're not looking for someone to just talk to on an ongoing basis; that's what your friends and family are for (and you don't need to pay them!) I'm going to help you get in and out of my office feeling "cured" as quickly as we can so that you can save money and be who you want to be.

I believe in creating an open and positive environment where my clients can feel comfortable growing.

My therapeutic focus includes transitions in late adolescence and adulthood, single incident and relational trauma, navigating divorce and post-divorce relationships, and the anxiety and distress that accompany these experiences. I also help mothers and fathers navigate the difficult job of raising children, from infancy through young adulthood, in all types of family configurations. Together, with compassion, we can understand the origins of your distress, what keeps it present in your life, and what changes need to be made to let it go.

Loss can be a shattering experience. Whether it's the death of a beloved partner, family member, friend, or even a major medical diagnosis, relationship breakup, or job loss, you know your life will never be the same.

Yet, much like kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, therapy can offer you a place to rebuild your shattered spirit in a transformational way. Working together, I aim to empower you to rebuild your life in line with what matters most to you using your own unique strengths, talents, and life experiences.
