Anthem Therapists in Loop, Chicago, IL

I have seen clients from many walks of life who have come into therapy for a variety of reasons. These include things such as wanting to connect with others, grief over the loss of someone or something important, traumatic experiences, or general feelings of sadness and worry. The clients who get the most out of working with me are those who come to sessions with a willingness to speak openly and vulnerably about themselves, as well as a willingness to consider different ways of thinking. Through open conversation, my hope is that clients become empowered to take a proactive approach to therapy and life in general.

Let's be real, life is tough sometimes. You keep your head down and try to get through the day, only to be up at night fighting worries that won’t let go. You are stressed out, overwhelmed, and have little energy. Everything you do to try and be in control of your anxiety isn’t working, the intrusive and unwanted thoughts just keep coming. You can’t remember the last time you felt good. It’s difficult to know where to start, or how to sort it out on your own. Even though you’re feeling stuck, you sense the possibility that things could be different. Reconnecting to what makes life meaningful is not as far away as it might seem.

Are you someone who tries to solve problems on your own? If so, you're probably good at it. But it can get lonely. People may assume you’re okay, even when you’re struggling. While these patterns of self reliance might have supported you in the past, they may be keeping you from becoming the best version of yourself. No matter what you are struggling with, therapy can help you understand these patterns and leave behind what is keeping you from thriving.

Consideration of entering therapy can feel like an overwhelming task, especially if you are struggling, feeling like "nothing will change", in transition or have been hurt in previous relationships. I provide a safe, trusting and non-judgmental environment in which we work together on your challenges. While I bring knowledge and experience to our work, you are the expert on you: your goals and feedback on the process will drive our work together. Clients have provided me with excellent feedback, stating that I am open, empathic and good-natured about the difficulties of change.

Are you a young adult struggling with challenging emotions on a daily basis? Maybe you’re feeling irritable and anxious. Sometimes you find yourself overthinking, second guessing your every move, and not clicking with the people closest to you. Have you been having a hard time enjoying things the way you used to? If any of this describes your experience, you’re in the right place! I’m a young adult therapist who helps clients control their response to challenging emotions, effectively adjust to change, and live a life that makes them proud.

I'm accepting new clients via telehealth throughout Illinois and Colorado! It can be overwhelming to feel like you’ve lost yourself. Does it feel like the ‘you,’ inside might not live up to the ‘you,’ that lives, breathes, and presents yourself out in the world? When neither feels like the authentic person that you want to be, it’s difficult to know where to ask for help, what is wrong, what’s off balance, or even where to begin. Life is full of challenges ranging from small bumps in the road to extreme detours, but wherever you are at, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m excited the journey has led you here.

Hello! I use a collaborative and strengths-based approach with each of my clients. I have years of experience working with Client's and Families/Couple's from working in both mental health treatment facilities and outpatient private practice. I integrate a variety of evidenced-based treatment interventions to address behavioral health issues, including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Twelve-Step Facilitation Therapy, Psychodynamics and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy.

Each of us has our own unique story: where we were born, what we have experienced, what are our dreams. Sometimes, our situation doesn’t always turn out the way we imagined. We can become overwhelmed and experience different emotions like sadness, loss, anxiety, and depression.

One of the beautiful things I have the privilege of witnessing as a therapist is the ever-evolving changes and awareness clients develop throughout their healing and growth process. I fully believe that each and every one of us is worth investing the work within ourselves when we develop the courage to seek help. I consider the therapeutic relationship with clients to be a team effort towards reaching the client’s desired goals and outcomes in a safe, non-judgmental space.

People are able to make positive changes in their lives. Do you find yourself unhappy, depressed or anxious? Does it feel that no matter what you have tried, nothing changes? I help clients in positively addressing unhelpful patterns and to become unstuck from negative emotions and life situations.

As a mental health professional with 15 over years of experience, I have dedicated my life to helping children, adolescents, adults, and families overcome obstacles they face in life. I understand the importance of having a safe space in therapy where you can share your story without feeling judged. It is my hope we can work together in partnership to help you discover clarity, find meaning, and shift negative/destructive mindsets to a more positive/productive one. In addition, I believe everyone has their own intrinsic strengths to draw from, which is an essential part of the healing process.

I have over 20 year of professional counseling experience. I focus on identifying clearly achieveable goals that can reduce feelings of depression, increase self esteem, improve communication and assertiveness skills and resolve interpersonal conflicts. Fifty percent of my clientele are couples working on improving communication, reducing conflict and managing difficult emotions like anger and mistrust.

Do you struggle with sleeping problems? I specialize in evidence based treatment for treating insomnia. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is extremely effective where sleep hygiene, meditation and other obvious solutions don't work, I also help you work through any comorbidities that you may experience with your insomnia like anxiety, hyperarousal and racing thoughts. Most of my patients only need 4-5 sessions to see meaningful change in their sleep.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about life or in your relationship? Navigating life can be difficult and having the right support and tools to manage is vital. I offer a safe space to explore the issues you are facing without judgment. I will meet you where you are, and together, we'll work to bring about change and healing.

My clients experience me as empathetic, motivating, and professional when combined create a safe space and therapeutic environment. It is an absolute honor that people trust me, and I try my best to serve them adequately in a non-judgmental space. There’s a proverb that says “you may be lost, but you are not defeated.” Many people seek therapy for a variety of reasons and the mere fact of their initiative shows they may be lost but they won’t give up. I have a desire to help others discover the parts of themselves that were hidden, isolated, or maybe even afraid.

As a psychotherapist, I bring extensive clinical experience working with clients of all ages who have faced various forms of racial trauma, particularly within Black and immigrant-of-color communities. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to provide therapy in both individual and collective settings, including but not limited to colleges and universities, a level-one trauma center, IOP/PHP programs, and private practice. Guided by a holistic and integrative approach, I view the mind, body, and spirit as interconnected, recognizing the profound impact they have on our well-being and relationship to the world.
