I enable clients to access the wisdom of their emotions to enhance their relationships and lives. Happy relationships and solid self-esteem are the foundations of psychological and emotional well-being, while disharmony, worries, and unhappiness signal that we need to experience new ways to effectively express feelings and enact aspirations in our lives. I strive to provide an inviting and nonjudgmental therapeutic context to empower clients to find satisfying ways to address concerns. My integrative approach draws upon Western science and Eastern wisdom, including Buddhist approaches to well-being.

My therapeutic approach looks at people holistically. I will take into account your mind, body, and spirit and the ways these intersect to make you the unique person that you are. I appreciate each person’s differences and will work collaboratively to reach goals that are important and meaningful to you. I take pride in being entrusted to help you navigate life’s ups and downs and will meet you wherever you are without judgement. I value building a strong, trusting therapeutic alliance as well as providing a safe and open-minded space where you are welcome to be yourself.

*Accepting new clients using only Telehealth due to COVID-19* Life sometimes throws us unwanted curveballs and challenges that are difficult to navigate on our own. These challenges can make us feel like we are alone and powerless to change the things we want to change. Navigating these challenges in therapy is a way of choosing to face these challenges head on, to grow, and to heal. I know it takes so much courage and strength to bring you here, and my main goal is to match that courage and strength with acceptance, understanding, and unconditional support.

Therapy is about finding someone who matches your style. Someone who will listen with an open ear and remains non-judgmental, all while pushing you outside of your comfort zone. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important piece of therapy. In life you will encounter a lot of experiences that can leave you with feelings of uncertainty, overwhelmed, and overall dissatisfaction. The decision to seek therapy is positive and courageous, and I’m glad you have made this choice. As a therapist, I believe in bridging the gap that can ultimately lead you on the path to being the best version of yourself.

Going through a 'life transition' that doesn't seem to end? Feeling left behind and unable to catch up? If so, I would like to help. I am an interactive therapist in Chicago who builds capacity for growth and change in clients ready to take a step forward in life. Through an eclectic approach, I validate your experience, identify key areas for growth, and empower you to see a life beyond anxiety, stress, trauma, or disappointment. I utilize various forms of cognitive behavioral activity, and performance psychology to deliver consistent measurable change. I also give "homework" to promote and continue growth outside of our sessions.

Have you ever felt stuck while in a relationship or confused about who you are or where you want to be in your life? Do parts of you feel lost and insecure while other parts of you are so ready to change and give up old habits? These different parts of us may feel pressure from family, friends, work, school, and society to fit a mold of who we are supposed to be as a person. We may even put the most pressure on ourselves to be in control, strive for perfection, or please others. Yet, deep down we may feel empty, out of control, anxious, or inauthentic. You are not alone.

Sometimes life throws us more than we think we can handle. We feel so sad it hurts. We feel alone and like things won't get better. We worry about things we can't control. We get so stressed and overwhelmed that we start avoiding or procrastinating. We may know what we need to do, but feel stuck or can't seem to actually do it.

If you are serious about coping with all forms of stress in your life related to emotional,relational,work, and physical health than I am very interested in supporting you to develop the skills to heal yourself. I challenge people to move away from emotional ruts and embrace a happier and more productive life. If you are struggling with issues around self-esteem, substance abuse, fears and phobias, and/or relationship challenges, I can give you the support you need to improve the quality of your life. Please call: (773) 593-5492.
