Self Esteem Therapists in River North, Chicago, IL
Our work focuses on building self-awareness, strengthening self-esteem and developing practical tools for real change.
Do you feel stuck in your head? I work with creatives, musicians, ADHDers, and anyone whose overthinking, self-doubt, or inconsistency holds them back. My goal is to help your imagination work for you instead of against you. These traits can be superpowers when we learn to harness them, helping you grow past painful experiences. As a musician, I know imposter syndrome and the challenge of turning passion into a sustainable life. Survival mode doesn’t have to be default. I also work with individuals and couples navigating communication, disconnects, and repeated patterns to build stronger connections and a life that feels like yours.

Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand—especially in relationships. They may be navigating betrayal, grief, identity questions, or a major life transition. Some are college students overwhelmed by pressure and change; others are couples trying to decide whether trust can be rebuilt. Often, something feels painful, complicated, or hard to say out loud, and they’re looking for a space grounded in presence and attunement—not judgment—where they can slow down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and find clarity about what comes next.

Life is full of contradictions: joy tangled with self-doubt, love complicated by resentment, and confidence shaken by old fears. We all carry parts of ourselves we are proud of and parts we would rather hide.
