My name is Diane I have more than 30+ years of experience doing therapy. My approach is client centered with a strong focus on solution oriented short term therapy. I am a direct communicator, but use humor often to help clarify issues and to create an intervention that is easier to remember for my clients. Life sometimes is very hard, it is our reaction to it that makes it harder or easier. We can grow and learn to make our decisions based on our values and interests so that we are not fighting with ourself over these choices

Feeling stuck can be so frustrating. Where do we go when our usual coping skills stop working? Having experienced both sides of this question, I have a deep understanding of the challenges involved, both personally and professionally. This is where therapy can be especially helpful in identifying and removing obstacles. While it isn’t a cure-all, it can play an important role in healing. By integrating more imaginative approaches alongside cognitive methods, therapy can help clear these roadblocks and support deeper, more holistic healing.

Healing from trauma and rebuilding connections can bring hope for renewed strength and peace. If you have experienced trauma, you may be struggling with its lasting effects, including anxiety, depression, low self-worth, and difficulty trusting others. These challenges can feel overwhelming and isolating, especially when relationship struggles add to the pain. Trauma, PTSD, and relationship issues often intertwine, affecting emotional wellbeing and daily life. Together, we can work toward understanding your experiences and creating lasting change. Taking the first step can open the door to a healthier, more fulfilling life.

My approach is engaging, interactive, collaborative, and curiously attuned to my client’s needs. I believe in forming a trusting therapeutic relationship for facilitating transformative personal growth. I work with individuals and couples, providing a safe space to uncover core issues, limiting beliefs, and unhealthy patterns that keep you feeling out of alignment or stuck. I utilize a range of modalities primarily based on attachment theory. Our attachment styles are formed during early childhood development and fall on a spectrum from insecure to secure attachment.

I work with clients who want to build a stronger sense of self, unlearn victim narratives and instead want to foster more self-love, compassion, and unapologetic confidence. They are recovering people-pleasers, people who are intellectually self-aware but need help creating lasting change, adult children of immigrants, people with emotionally immature parents, people who struggle with love and dating, and/or those healing from abuse. My clients will learn to process their unresolved trauma and release patterns that no longer serve them. I'm a therapist who isn't afraid to actively challenge you to build the life you want to live.

For many people, adulthood brings layered responsibilities and expectations that can test the boundaries of our current coping strategies. We may notice we are experiencing more anxiety, burnout, emotional distress, and feelings of disconnection. Concerns that can be made more complicated by the complex intersection of identity, relationships, history, and the broader systems we live in.

I support individuals navigating high-pressure environments who are balancing the demands of work. You may appear outwardly successful, yet feel internally burned out—searching for meaning, relief, or a sense of alignment. Together, we’ll collaborate on your journey toward greater clarity, resilience, and well-being. Feeling tired of holding it all together while appearing “successful”? I work with high achievers, perfectionists, and people-pleasers who feel disconnected from joy and meaning. You deserve a life that feels more true, aligned, and authentically you.

I specialize in couples and relationship issues, codependency, attachment concerns, women’s issues, sexual identity exploration, religious trauma, anxiety, depression, and LGBTQ+ affirming care.
For a long time, you may have focused on taking care of others, meeting expectations, or trying to be the person you thought you were supposed to be. Somewhere along the way, you may have lost touch with what feels true for you. I work with adults and couples across Chicago, including Lincoln Park and Lakeview, who are navigating relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, religious trauma, identity exploration, or major life changes. Therapy offers space to better understand yourself, develop self-compassion, and build a life that feels more honest, connected, and fulfilling.

I operate from an attachment lens and the belief that needs for attachment, connection, belonging, and acceptance are ever-present, often-overlooked drivers in our lives. Unmet attachment needs - whether past or present - can profoundly impact mood, self-esteem, and, of course, our relationships with others. I utilize a multiculturally sensitive, integrative approach to help individuals and couples gain insight into attachment needs, better communicate those needs with partners and loved ones, recognize and change unhealthy patterns and dynamics, and practice self-love.

If you are coming into therapy, you may find that your current way of coping with life's stressors is no longer working for you, and you may be feeling stuck in life. Maybe you find yourself wondering why you keep repeating the same patterns of behavior; why your relationships seem similar in their dissatisfaction; why your emotions feel so strong and overwhelming and out of your control; or why you might feel out of touch with your deeper self.

You may be the person everyone else relies on while quietly feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or exhausted yourself. I work with teens and adults who have spent a long time carrying too much - trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or the pressure of trying to hold everything together. Many come to therapy feeling stuck in old patterns and unsure how to move forward. Together, we build insight, healthier coping skills, stronger boundaries, and meaningful, lasting change.

Having the same fights over and over without resolution? I help couples figure out how to fully resolve their conflicts and stop getting stuck in the same cycles. It's hard to enjoy life when relationship problems are chronically unresolved. It's even worse when the past hangs over the relationship, or you feel like room-mates. If your relationship problems are weighing down your otherwise great life, then counseling can make a big difference.
