In Person Therapists in Douglas, Chicago, IL
My ideal client is one who has trouble taking care of themselves but makes sure everyone else is taken care of. One who has noticed a pattern of relationships in their family that are rooted in emotional neglect, disrespect, and unhealthy enmeshments. One who struggles to express themselves, constantly feels unheard, and deep down inside feels unworthy (but wouldn’t dare to say it). As a therapist my biggest strength has been my ability to aid clients in restoring hope and embracing all parts of themselves

For many people, therapy is a last resort. Only when change feels impossible does therapy start to look like a good idea. Even then, it's painful to admit you need help. I respect that pain, and your courage in reaching out despite it.

We sometimes find ourselves struggling in life. Psychotherapy can be a great opportunity to examine where we are, how we got there, and where we want to go from here. I work collaboratively with clients to explore these questions with empathy, curiosity, and care. I am passionate about supporting clients in being their true, authentic selves, and helping them to create deeper connections with the people in their lives. I value the diverse identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences that each client brings. I aim to meet clients where they are at to uncover the right goals for them.

We live in a culture where we deal with daily stress and sometimes trauma based on our marginalized identities, whether they be race, gender, sexual orientation, class, or ability level. Combine that with the current political climate, the impact of climate change, and the stress of a near-constant negative news feed, and it becomes easy to feel overwhelmed. Having been in practice for over 20 years and tuned into the ways in which our culture affects us all, I'm here to help. Reaching out to a therapist can be scary. I work to create an open, judgement-free environment where we will work on your problems collaboratively.

If you're not living the life you love, lets talk about it. I work with highly ambitious, driven people whose lives seem to be going well on the outside – but privately, they're in pain. My clients may also experience lack of focus and procrastination. The cause may be evident or waiting to be discovered. Either way, something needs to be addressed in order to fully blossom, and my clients are willing to do the work to address it.
