Self Esteem Therapists in Chicago, IL

Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to knowing yourself. Seeking therapy is a brave and honorable act. Healing and growth come from inviting ourselves to listen to our mind and body so we are able to approach life with self awareness and acceptance. By creating a safe space where one can feel heard, understood and accepted, I use humor and warmth to help clients gain insight, self awareness and finding resiliency in life's challenges.

Life has a way of throwing things at us and making us feel like we are not enough, like we do not belong, our best isn't good enough. Whether you are an adult or a child, emotions and thoughts like these can impact life and the ability to live the lives we all desire. I would love to assist you or your child on this journey. I specialize in working with children ages 4-17, their parents or caregivers and young adults. I take a holistic approach to treatment and factor in all of the many systems and environments that may be impacting you or your child.

Often times our small wins and progress gets overshadowed by life’s stressors and chaos. In the space I provide for clients, we will always acknowledge and identify all wins and strengths in hopes to build up self-esteem, confidence, and motivation to move towards goals you may have, as well as developing a healthier thought process. If you’re looking for a space free of judgment, a space to make sense of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors (all while sharing some good laughs!), I encourage you to take the first step towards investing into your mental health. It’s not always easy, but it is always worth it.
