Bipolar Disorder Therapists in Chicago, IL

Does your past still haunt you? Do you find yourself struggling with past trauma, attachment issues or just your basic family baggage? Does your past make living in the present more difficult? Is it time to deal with those unresolved issues that are still impacting you? Clients come to me looking for a therapist who is more direct and will challenge them to understand themselves. I believe therapy is a place that you learn to make healthier decisions. When we know better we do better. Therapy doesn't have to be a life long journey but it needs to work!

Therapy does not need to be stressful or scary. Therapy is a working relationship built upon trust and rapport. This meaningful relationship, over time, provides a safe place for depth and breadth of emotion and ultimately healing. In our sessions, we will discuss, explore and gain insight into the areas of your life that are troubling to you.

Life can be challenging for many reasons. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by stress and feelings of loss and/or disconnection. This can lead to feelings of “stuckness,” hopelessness, confusion, and being misundersood. Often, we look around us and ask why others seem not to share similar struggles. Therapy offers both a space and an opportunity for us to reconnect with those parts of ourselves that feel out of sync.

I am a warm, empathic, and non-judgmental therapist trained and honored to listen to you, validate you, and support you in feeling less alone while introducing tangible tools to help you cope with life's stressors.
