Chicago, IL 60606 (Online Only)
I have a Master’s in Counseling with over 15 years of experience working with adolescents, young adults, and men and women experiencing depression, anxiety, childhood emotional abuse, substance abuse, grief, loss, and family dynamic issues.
Life always throws us curveballs. You can do everything to set yourself up to thrive, but life happens. The key to making it through life’s obstacles isn’t by fighting or avoiding them. It’s about learning to build resilience. By resilient, I mean having the right coping tools/skills to help yourself on the days you are struggling.

Chicago, IL 60616 (Online Only)
I have clinical experience working with children, adolescents and adults with issues ranging in depression, suicidal/homicidal ideation, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, psychosis, trauma and conduct related problems.
I have always been fascinated with understanding how people think, how they have come to believe what they believe and how they have become who they are. I have come to realize that many people simply want to feel heard, understood and cared for. This is part of the reason why I became a counselor, along with wanting to help people and destigmatize mental health. Coming from immigrant parents who came to America to enable their children to live a better life than they did, to them that meant getting a practical & stable job. But with time I realized that I didn't want my life to be just practical – I also wanted it to be purposeful.

Chicago, IL 60614
I specialize in working with young adults/adults navigating difficult life transitions or experiencing occupational/interpersonal stressors, individuals struggling with shaming critical narratives, feelings of unworthiness or setting healthy boundaries, and those looking to understand and shift detrimental patterns of behavior developed in response to trauma.
Often times the first step to feeling better is simply the act of being heard and feeling truly understood. I have found continual reward in helping people navigate the most challenging and stressful times of their lives. I strongly believe that the quality of the therapeutic relationship directly effects an individual’s healing process, thus my primary goal is focused on developing and maintaining a safe, open, empathetic and trusting dynamic with each client I work with. I establish this with honesty and transparency, by remaining authentic to my own natural counseling style and through genuine, meaningful interactions.

If you're considering therapy but aren't sure, then you've come to the right place. Most people who see us have little to no experience with therapists or therapy. Many are uncomfortable asking for help, believing it is a sign of "weakness." Others come from families where "staying strong," and keeping "personal business" in the family was the norm. Whatever the story, they are able to open up to us.
