Multicultural Therapists in Near Eastside, Chicago, IL

My areas of expertise: couples, premarital counseling, interracial relationships, multicultural families, teen pregnancy/parenthood, parenthood, infertility and pregnancy concerns, infidelity, divorce, remarriage and/or blending families, helping you and your partner if you have different attachment styles, and singles who are navigating dating, going through breakups or are unsure if they should stay or leave a relationship.

My goal as therapist is to assist adult clients in connecting current stressors to past events. Therapy focuses on providing support-and sometimes challenge-as clients cope with experiences from daily stress to emotional challenges (anxiety, depression) to significant life events (death, divorce) in a safe, compassionate therapeutic relationship. I work with clients to identify the source, impact on current functioning and well-being, and develop insight- and behaviorally-based strategies for healthy sustainable coping. We work towards both managing symptoms and addressing the source, whether a single life event or an unfulfilling style of coping developed over several years across multiple relationships.

If you are feeling frustrated by the same issues and patterns despite your best efforts to change, I am here to help you figure out the stuck points and move towards the life that you want to live. I am passionate about helping people truly heal and create a life worth living based on their personal goals and values. In our work together, we will identify the root causes of your present problems and combine skill-building with deep internal work to create real change. I respect that you are the expert of your life, and my goal is to help you to connect with your own power.
