Therapists in Chicago, IL

There is hope and healing; even though it might not feel like it. I have experience working with children, teens, and young adults dealing with everything from anxiety and relationship issues to trauma and sexual abuse. It would be a privilege to work with you or your child towards healing, tailoring the counseling process to best fit your needs.

I am passionate in helping clients be open about their experiences that may be uncomfortable to talk about. I understand the difficulty in being vulnerable with others and how to move forward with that in mind. My passion is driven by the stigma in seeking mental health counseling services. I want to help you remove that stigma you may have and let you know that it is okay to experience depression, anxiety, and feelings of being overwhelmed in life. I believe anyone can benefit from counseling and therapy, and want to help you be mindful of the reason you are here today for a better tomorrow. I am also fluent in Cantonese-Chinese.

I work with individuals across the lifespan, with a special focus on emerging adults. I work with many young adults with personality disorders, significant anxiety, and body image issues, and I work to reduce stigma and shame around these topics. I also have a special interest in working with individuals and families whose lives have been touched by addiction, especially family members and friends of those with substance use disorders. I take a directive and empathic approach, and together, we will identify and remove barriers so you can live a radically genuine life.

So many factors are involved in how we feel on a day to day basis that it can be difficult to figure out where to begin. Seeking therapy and finding a therapist that works for you can be the first step in this process. While seeking change, we come to find that it is a complex process involving mind, body, and spirit. Balancing these components of our selves is what the therapeutic process is about. Whether it seems to be a practical problem or a more diffuse concern, your hard work can result in the balance and fulfillment you desire.

Everyone experiences moments in life that feel overwhelming, stressful, or sad. Sometimes, these moments seem to happen with increasing frequency, or we can't seem to find our way out of painful or distressing patterns, despite our best intentions.

I work primarily with adults who are struggling with issues related to mood, anxiety, stress, life transitions and problems in their relationships. I also have significant experience and specialization treating clients who have experienced both chronic and acute trauma, and clients who describe their family or background as chaotic.

The start of therapy is often a painful or stressful time. I will work with you to improve your current life and increase your future resilience. I believe the foundation of this work is often the experience of being truly heard. There are stories behind the things we do and the feelings we have. We usually know parts of these stories, but therapy helps us to know more. As we come to know more, we gain more control, and it becomes easier to meet life’s challenges. Additionally, we become better at seeing people and situations for what they really are, which helps us to avoid ruts at work and in our relationships.
