Anxiety Therapists in North Center, Chicago, IL

You ask yourself, are you finally ready to start therapy? Yes! But - oh no, what it’s going to be like? What do I talk about?! It's okay to be unsure what it's all about or how to get the conversation going. My primary goal is to provide you with a comfortable space where we can explore your concerns together. I find traditional approaches are most effective when personalized in coordination with other mediums like art and music. Throughout our therapeutic journey I will tailor my approach to meet you where you are at. ! For Quickest Response Time Please Email !

There are times we might feel like we have failed, are stuck, or feel like there is no hope for change. Asking for help can be very difficult, and it takes a lot of strength and courage to reach out to another. I believe therapy is not just for those experiencing a life crisis or current difficulty - therapy is an opportunity to gain new insight into self, learn new skills, and position oneself to increase health and wellness. I am a Licenced Clinical Social Worker who approaches therapy from a relational, collaborative, and strength-based. I believe everyone deserves a safe space to speak freely.

Even for individuals who are caring, thoughtful, and empathetic, life is still a challenge. You may feel afraid, lonely, confused, or overwhelmed. You may feel the need to lessen yourself or disregard your needs in order to make others comfortable. You deserve the confidence to be yourself without fear or shame. I want to help you overcome the past, work through anxiety, depression, fear, and anything else that might be holding you back. I want to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself.

You want to feel securely connected to others in your life. You want to feel empowered to navigate through life’s obstacles, with someone reliably in your corner. You want to trust in your own value and see yourself through a more compassionate lens. You deserve to feel seen and heard for all that you bring to this world and accepted for the myriad of identities that you inhabit. I can help you build self-compassion, improve your communication skills, and get more in touch with your emotional experiences.

Therapy is a very intimate experience. I strive for a personal connection with my clients from the get-go. Through that relationship, I am better able to understand the motivations, hidden struggles and impulses that drive my clients, and in turn, help them to utilize their own strengths and learned techniques to successfully address the difficult issues for which they sought therapy. I have assisted clients who are going through or preparing for a life transition, experiencing depression, anxiety or mood disorders, and recovering from trauma or loss.

I know that it takes courage to begin therapy and my goal is to make this process as comfortable for you as possible. My approach is to create a non-judgemental, open and collaborative space.

I believe in working together to identify your goals and to explore the areas of your life that are important to you.

I enjoy working with individuals and couples. My goal is to provide a warm, non-judgmental and inviting space to process and improve: relationships (familial, friendships, work or love), difficulty balancing obligations, challenges with stress or anxiety, self-esteem issues and/or depressive tendencies. I help people identify relational, thought and behavioral patterns that may have once been functional but are no longer helpful. My ideal client is looking for active therapy that has a practical application to help with immediate symptom relief while also looking at and changing lifelong patterns of behavior for longer term change.

Many aspects of life can be difficult, recurring and even intolerable. Hope or frustration may have led you to seek therapy, in pursuit of changes that continue to mystify you. Therapy can offer support in making clearer sense of what it is you are experiencing in your life and relationships, working towards adjustments that create new possibilities and insights. Sometimes things don't change, though, and you may have to contend with that powerlessness too. In therapy together, we can use our working relationship to explore challenges and hopes you are facing, developing new capacities for navigating life and relationships.
