Therapists in Chicago, IL

I am a bilingual Latina therapist who enjoys working with adolescents and adults. My approach is holistic as I believe our physical, spiritual, emotional, and social selves directly impact one another. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with 10+ years of experience treating a wide array of symptoms and concerns including anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties.

I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, stress and life transitions. I am passionate at helping people identify what is important to them and exploring new ways to better cope with whatever is getting in the way of connecting to the life you want to live. I focus on doing what works and this is individual to each person that I work with. I draw upon evidence-based therapies and your own personal experiences to help you discover what works for you! I have a particular interest in working with perinatal issues, including perinatal depression and anxiety, birth trauma and transition to parenthood.

People seek out a counselor who can guide them--or their child--past their struggles to a better life. They want to get better sooner and stay better longer. For over 20 years, I have had the privilege of helping hundreds of adults, children and adolescents move past problems and achieve their goals --and to make those improvements stick. Some clients face coping with frustration, depression, anxiety, or relationship and family problems. For others, it's dealing with transitions such as divorce, loss and grief, school or relationship challenges, medical problems or job loss. And clients deserve great service.

I also love helping new mothers and young children co-regulate and get the most out of early childhood.

I get it, adulting is HARD! Sometimes, it can feel impossible to manage everything life throws at you, like work, school, dating, friendships, finances, and so much more. Therapy can make it easier.

If you're looking to learn how to manage stress and anxiety, develop your career, make new friends, build healthy romantic relationships, establish boundaries with family, moderate substance use, or improve your relationship with food and your body, we may be the perfect fit.
