You are not alone....therapy is a journey that helps you get an understanding of where you have been, and where you would like to be. It's a chance to start something new and trust in the power of new beginnings. I believe that everyone has the potential for greatness, and sometimes it's important to talk through issues that are preventing you from achieving your goals. Together we will find ways to better understand the road blocks that are preventing you from moving forward, and develop healthier coping strategies and behaviors that will achieve greater results for your new journey.

Congratulations on taking this step and beginning your search for a counselor. I believe therapy works best when there is a good fit between a client and their therapist. In my role, this involves being flexible, open and transparent in order to help you define and work towards your goals. I assist clients in empowering themselves, by building on their strengths, promoting insight, and providing a safe space for them to explore their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, histories, identities, values, and relationships.

Have you ever felt like you were busy doing all the things you thought would bring you a happy life, yet felt alone and disconnected from yourself and others? These feelings are often when people turn to alcohol, drugs, food, shopping or relationships to try to create those feelings of happiness, contentment and joy. It can work for a short time however the key to moving forward is to understand the reasons we seek out these distractions.

Expert couples counselors can help if you are fighting too much, feeling distant or not sure if you want to stay together. We help couples who want to find a better way of communicating, fight less, and feel more connected. Experienced and effective. Working with couples is our only specialty. Choosing a professional you can trust can be challenging. We have a problem-solving approach that combines education, coaching and the latest research.

I believe deeply in the capacity of people to change. If we are struggling and feel stuck in some ways, it’s not because we want to be miserable or are in some way a "bad" person. We simply lack the right kind of support to find our way out. Talk therapy provides a way out. My clients are men, women and couples, who are intelligent and very high functioning yet find themselves struggling with something, or perhaps just have a sense that they are needing something more. Talk therapy can help us gain a deeper understanding of ourselves which can help us live into a fuller and richer life.

I view therapy as a collaborative process and believe that growth is fostered through our exploration of and careful listening to your experiences, strengths, and struggles. We'll aim to better understand the people, events, and systems that shaped you and clarify what you envision for a more meaningful and satisfying future. I strive to help you achieve your goals by creating a warm and non-shaming environment where we'll examine all aspects of your life, relationships, and internal world. As your self-awareness increases, you’ll begin to feel less distress and more empowered, making it easier to live and act with greater purpose.

"The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are" (Jung). As a bilingual (Spanish/English) and bi-cultural Jungian Psychoanalyst and psychotherapist, I help people to consciously reconnect with their inner life in order to heal themselves. While damage to such connection usually creates a variety of psychological difficulties, reverence to the inner wisdom is a contemplative stance of active listening to the interior music that heals and that connect us with the immensity of our inner life. The inner life has an intelligence that corrects and compensates the psychological imbalances that have created emotional challenges.

I offer a safe place to explore the current issues that are bringing you into therapy. I believe the therapy process works best when it is collaborative, non-judgmental, and empathetic. No matter whether your struggles are newer or longer lasting I aim to fully understand your issues and join you in the process for healing and recovery. It is my goal that you will feel heard, understood, valued, and empowered in order to improve your life, health, and strengthen your relationships.

There are many difficulties and uncertainties in life. Working with a therapist can help you navigate current challenges and heal from past experiences. We can work together in this collaborative process to help you enhance your life, relationships, and overall well-being. My style is interactive and conversational and I provide a warm environment where self-expression is safe. I provide individualized therapy based on a holistic view of each person that will acknowledge your strengths, current needs, and the intersection of your different identities.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), and Art and Yoga Therapist practicing in the Chicago Area. I work to provide a safe and collaborative space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to facilitate meaningful change in your life. The root of my work is assisting others to discover, strengthen, and grow inner peace. If you feel grounded in yourself, it's so much easier to ride out the obstacles - big and small - that life throws at you. I believe the process of change is not a straight line or one-size-fits-all model.

Psychotherapy is an opportunity to look at your deepest fears and face them with the support of an experienced and trusted therapist. At the Healing Journey Psychotherapy, I am committed to work with you and support you through a style that is relational, inquisitive, compassionate and challenging. My areas of expertise include surviving sexual abuse, domestic violence, chronic pain and the after effects of traumatic experiences in relationships.

Could you believe there may be another way to look at your experiences and ideas about yourself and your life? Maybe you're new to therapy and ready to try a different approach. Or maybe therapy has been helpful to you in the past and you're looking for a tune up. As uncertain that first step may seem, with the right fit it may open up possibilities for you and set you on a new path.

When we feel powerless, alone, or taken advantage of, it makes sense that we numb to cope. We often do this through alcohol and substance use, isolation, and unhealthy relationships. The things we chose to cope initially work really well - until they don't. I work with adults and teens and focus on experiences of trauma, and the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors we develop to live our lives around the people and events that have hurt us.

As a relationship and sex therapist, I am dedicated to creating a safe, warm and positive space for processing to occur. I strive to enhance your strengths while guiding you to grow, heal and accept aspects of yourself. I believe the therapeutic journey is a collaborative process and I focus my interventions to meet your needs. Please do not hesitate to reach out for general mental health concerns if you think we would be a good fit despite my specialty. I welcome all genders, races, ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations and relationship configurations.

While they are a vital part of our lives and can bring us so much joy - relationships are complex! Think about it - although people spend years learning and practicing most key skills, many people have had limited opportunity learning about relationships and emotional skills. I work with people who are often very successful in many aspects of their lives, but who get stuck in emotional or relational patterns. They know they desire for things to be different and more satisfying but are not quite sure how to get there. That's where therapy can be a powerful platform for change!

I practice from an insight-oriented, collaborative, and individualized approach to meet the unique needs of each person I work with. I strive to provide a supportive and accepting space for my patients to feel heard and understood while also feeling challenged to experiment with new ways of thinking, feeling and relating. My hope is that therapy can be useful in providing tools to relieve immediate stress while also helping uncover the underlying meanings of unwanted or distressing symptoms, feelings and relational patterns in order to create lasting change.

I love change and transitions. We grow when we are uncomfortable so in my session we will talk about uncomfortable crap - that's why you are seeing me. I am authentic therefore I swear. I am known to be very direct. I'm originally from Chicago. My expertise are in the use of EMDR to explore roots. I work with individuals who feel stuck and unable to move forward in life; due to a life transition or a past trauma. If you are looking for something else I also have online course via teachable. I also have a new Mental Health APP AOU coaching on apple and google !

Stories have always been important to me. I find myself inspired, enthralled, and humbled by the stories of people and their relationships with each other. I believe in the importance of honoring each story I hear and working with clients to help their life be as they imagine it to be. I find value in working with my clients to understand the impact of their important relationships to their lives. I love being a therapist and I feel humbled and fortunate every day to be in this profession. My approach to working with clients is to get to know their narrative and help them identify the obstacles that are constraining them.
