Infidelity Therapists in Chicago, IL
Taking the first step to begin therapy can be a challenging one, and finding the right therapist is an important piece. I take a supportive, non-judgmental approach to therapy and start off by creating a safe space to allow a strong therapeutic relationship to form. I give my clients the space to describe their challenges and hardships. Along the way, I help clients develop coping skills as well as awareness into their patterns and behaviors, and systemic factors, in order to create positive changes in their lives. I support all parts of clients’ histories, inviting honest exploration into the complexities of their experiences.

Clients I connect with often may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, whether they’re dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, or life transitions. They may not have all the answers, but they’re open to exploring what’s no longer working. They want to feel more grounded, more connected, and more in control of their lives. They’re looking for a therapist who is warm, direct, and engaged; someone who will offer support, challenge unhelpful patterns, and help them create meaningful, lasting change.

I passionately and compassionately care for the emotional well-being and behavioral health of my individual, couple, family and group clients for over 20 years. I draw upon unique combinations of clinical principals and innovative methods to best support all people within our vastly diverse community. I draw upon my deep understanding of culture, age, gender, race, class, family structure, and the type of or the lack of a support system can have on most all situations. I always provide a totally non-judgmental, safe, and confidential space to help my clients deal with their problems, issues or crisis.

Life is inherently unstable and constantly offers the chance to develop a greater understanding of our selves and the world around us. We may be suffering from limiting beliefs and thoughts that cause us to feel stuck, anxious, depressed, powerless and deficient; and we are conditioned to avoid our internal experience. Learning to turn towards our thoughts, feelings and sensations; and be with our painful experiences is one of the most essential skills we can ever learn in life. We can become more intentional in our choices, we can unhook from the stories that imprison us, and open up to what each moment of our lives can offer.

My ideal style of therapy is suited to clients who believe that the relationship between therapist and client is paramount to the ability to change. I believe that change happens at the crossroads of challenge and non-judgement and this is the primary focus of my treatment- creating a safe environment in which clients believe they can present their issues and have them challenged in a supportive and non-judgemental way. I firmly believe that all clients have the ability to heal and grow regardless of personal, historical, professional and relational challenges.

Life is full of “shoulds.” Family, friends, and society often have a very clear idea of the path we’re supposed to be on, but we believe that peace and empowerment lie in finding your own path- worrying less about the expectations of others and more about what you want your life to look like. Taking an alternative path or changing route along the way is difficult. Therapy can help as you strive to be true to yourself on the journey. We offer a space where individuals learn to utilize their personal strengths to live their most meaningful lives, develop fulfilling relationships, and find true liberation.

My background in sex therapy and financial therapy uniquely positions me to help folx navigate these common challenges: desire discrepancy, cultivating sexual or financial intimacy, resolving money conflicts, overcoming betrayal or infidelity, processing sexual or financial trauma, and sexual/relational identity exploration (polyamory, kink, etc.).
Let’s talk about sex. Let’s talk about money. Let’s dismantle taboos and unlearn the fear and shame so commonly intertwined in these areas of life. In a world that constantly pressures us to sacrifice our wellness for production’s sake, it can be a challenge to nourish the relationships you have to your Self and/or your partner(s). I can help you release the capitalist scripts that stop you from creating fulfilling connections.
I’m most passionate about working with folx who are queer, kinky, polyamorous/ENM, and/or in relationships navigating interracial dynamics, mixed orientations, disability and other relational diversities.

You may look like you're holding everything together on the outside while feeling constantly overwhelmed on the inside. Maybe your mind never slows down, your body feels tense even when you're trying to relax, or you find yourself stuck in the same emotional and relationship patterns despite your best efforts. Therapy can be a place to understand not only what's happening, but why and to learn new ways of responding that help you feel calmer, in control and more connected to yourself.
