Accepting new clients for the winter/new year season! Starting therapy can be overwhelming and is often the first time you are talking to someone you don't know about private experiences and feelings. My priority is providing clients a safe, nonjudgmental space to be their most authentic selves. I strive to create this by helping explore difficult emotions, process negative thought patterns, identify and build on strengths, and stay most centered and balanced during life transitions and adjustments.

You Thought This Chapter Would Feel Better Than It Does!
You did everything “right.”
You finished school.
You moved to the city.
You got the job.
So why do you feel lonely, stuck, and kind of lost?
If you’re in your 20s and living in Chicago, you might be asking yourself:
Why don’t I feel happier yet?
Why does everyone else seem to have it figured out?
What if this is all there is?
If that sounds like you, you’re not broken — and you’re not alone.

Our ideal client is done performing. They’re tired of being quiet, agreeable, polite—and ended up invisible, dismissed, and carrying everyone else’s weight while their own wounds deepened. They may face trauma, depression, addiction, or identity struggles, but underneath it all, they’re exhausted by silence and shame.
What they want isn’t complicated: Freedom. Freedom from lies about who they are. Freedom from survival strategies that once saved them but now destroy them. Freedom to live loud, reclaim joy, build real relationships, and finally believe that healing belongs to them.

Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists
What should I expect from rational emotive behavior therapy?
The therapist will work with the individual to recognize rigid thought patterns that sabotage goals and set them back. The objective is to identify, challenge and reframe negative thoughts and enable an individual to understand that they possess control over their emotions and their behavior. This therapy often emphasizes the use of reasoning and self-direction.
Is rational emotive behavior therapy effective?
Rational emotive behavior therapy is evidence-based and is highly effective. It helps a person reframe self-defeating or catastrophizing thoughts and gives them tools to approach a range of circumstances they may encounter post-therapy as well. REBT can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
When do I know if I need treatment with rational emotive behavior therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with rigid, unreasonable thoughts that dwell in negativity, they may feel stuck. A rational emotive behavior therapist can help a person examine and change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior. This concise and concrete therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
How long does rational emotive behavior therapy last?
REBT therapy treatment is short-term and focused in nature. It can last for a set number of sessions, ending within a few weeks or months. Like any type of therapy, however, sessions depend on the individual, as well as the severity of their condition or problem. The individual may wish to ask the therapist about typical progress and how long they expect treatment to take.
