Being a bi-racial (Korean and Black) Jewish
female
, I am curious about my patients.
Have you gone as far as you can in traditional psychotherapy? Are you looking to go deeper sooner? Do you want sustainable results within one to three sessions? Are you serious and committed to treatment? Then consider undergoing psychological surgery in addition to psychotherapy. For 28 years I have helped patients release fear, anger, shame, guilt, depression, or anxiety so they can experience sustaining self-love, joy, compassion, forgiveness, and discernment. If you have lost your way and want to remember who you really are, I am here to accompany you on your journey to heal at the deepest level possible.

When I was a kid, I observed my mom go through counseling. I saw her gain tools to manage depression and evolve into someone who knew her worth. She modeled for me how effective counseling can be. It is my absolute pleasure to support my clients in this way. I am especially passionate about supporting
women
of color in healing from wounds, and seeing & strengthening their resilience. I am leading a group for BIPOC
women

You’ve been carrying the anxiety and pain for far too long. No one really knows what it's like to be you. It feels utterly lonely. But you are at the point, where you want to find hope again and see if there is a chance that it doesn’t have to be this way. As a

I specialize in working with
women
who work really hard to make sure everything looks okay on the outside when it doesn’t feel that way on the inside. Clients who come to me are often overwhelmed with pressure to get things perfect and struggle with feeling “enough”, some experiencing with imposter syndrome. They often feel an imbalance in their lives and are quick to sacrifice self-care for others or in the face of stress. They feel their emotions strongly and sometimes feel controlled by them, leaving them often emotionally and physically drained. My clients are ready to create change in their lives and feel more peace of mind.

If you are a mother who just had a miscarriage, a partner struggling to support your wife through IVF treatments, or a
woman
contemplating alternate routes to motherhood, you are not alone.
I have extensive experience working with adolescents (10 years and older) and teenagers who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress at school, peer relationship issues, panic attacks, and LGBTQ+ issues / gender identity. I am adept at working with adults who struggle with managing relationships, anxiety, depression, stress at work, and grief. Many of my clients told me that I am very effective in helping parents of adolescents and teenagers. I have assisted many parents in grappling with the challenges that come with having a child with unique needs, such as gifted children, autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, and others.

The notion that
women
have to "hold it all together", can make it incredibly challenging to reach out for support.
Someone once said "Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hardwork. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart." Together, clients and I create a safe space to explore their lives, while crafting resources to allow for contentment admist the ups and downs of life. Life can be challening &
women
face particular cultural challenges to "hold it all together". Without proper support & personal awarenss, that is is an impossible task. Whether it is anxiety, depression, disordered eating or general stress, lets work together to cultivate a peaceful state of being.

Teletherapy
Teletherapy and Online counseling have grown enormously as a medium for therapy since the advent of social distancing. Most therapists are happy to provide sessions by video or phone.
All professionals are licensed to provide video therapy to clients within the State in which they hold their license. Cross State licensing exists, but is rare.
So if you're a client in Illinois, this list of teletherapists are licensed to provide therapy to you online (by phone, video or text based chat) because they are within your state. They are sorted nearest to furthest, with professionals in Illinois listed first.
Teletherapy via phone or video can be very similar to conventional in person sessions. The message is the same, even if the medium is different. There are some advantages in the form of convenience, lack of travel and being in comfort of your own home. Set against those, professionals find it more difficult to read non-verbal signals of their clients, and you may find you yourself can be more easily distracted.
