Are you feeling lost in who you are or who you're becoming? Are you finding yourself entering a transition in your career, education, or relationships? It can be hard to identify, ask for, or obtain the types of emotional support that would help you feel more understood and grounded in your life. Perhaps you're looking to build skills to cope with the demands of your daily life and navigating relationships. You may also be navigating an environment that isn't affirming or even safe for your identities.
My style of therapy is focused on fostering an affirming, validating environment where clients can explore and challenge themselves to try new ways of relating to themselves and others. I utilized client-focused, trauma-informed techniques to help clients build tolerance for distress, regulate emotions, and understand who they are as individuals.
I offer both psychological testing and assessment and individual psychotherapy. You can schedule free 15-minute consultations through the Transcend Counseling Chicago website.
