Therapists in Chicago, IL

I believe that therapy should be a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space, that offers the opportunity to process and make sense of emotions and experiences, and move towards deeper sense of self understanding. I am dedicated to helping people identify how certain thoughts, feelings and behaviors contribute to distress, and creating a collaborative path to change. My passion for providing therapy comes from the belief that we are inherently aware of what we need to be successful and are capable of making the changes necessary to move in a positive direction.

Culturally Competent Therapy specializes in building trust and a therapeutic alliance with their clients, so they are prepared to do the work. Clients, often including licensed therapists, feel accepted to be themselves in a safe environment. Individualized tailored approaches include culturally sensitive cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic approaches to treatment that may challenge the client's belief system. I enjoy helping clients of all backgrounds discover the root of their problems and understanding the value of cultural factors such as family, race, socio-economic status, work/career demands, and integration of faith.

Therapy can be a process of unfolding for individuals and families. Whether deepening insight and self awareness, increasing compassion, or finding new ways to address life, the process of readying one's self for change can start in the quiet, reflective space of therapy. I provide in person and virtual psychotherapy and consultations to residents of Illinois and Indiana. While my therapeutic approach is eclectic, I rely on a psychodynamic understanding of the lifespan, third wave behavioral approaches to change, and I center the importance of self-integration.

Sometimes we need the kind of help that comes from talking to a professional who is a compassionate and skilled listener. My approach to psychotherapy involves creating a relationship with opportunities for you to know and understand yourself better, work through deeper issues and difficult emotions caused by experiences in relationships (past/present), and manage stress effectively, all of which allows you to live your life more fully. I include mindfulness skills and meditation practices, which promote healing in the body, alleviate anxiety and depression, and help one cope with stress adaptively.

Culture is beautiful, but it is also complicated. The complexity of culture can take its toll on us, resulting in anxiety, depression, stress, or mood swings. Navigating how your culture and diversity play a role in your life can present hardships in the workplace, school, and life in general. Even relationships can be affected, whether with family, friends, or partners. The bright side is we don't have to face these challenges alone.

Let’s face it- relationships can be hard! Everyone deserves to feel loved, connected, and seen for what makes them unique, but navigating romantic relationships is not always easy. I believe that love is a resource we can all cultivate within ourselves. Our past experiences bleed into our relationships, laying the groundwork for patterns that might leave us feeling disconnected.
