Female Therapists in South Loop, Chicago, IL
We all encounter periods of disconnection and unhappiness in life. Difficult relationships, unsatisfying careers, and adjusting to life’s transitions can contribute to these feelings. For many, harmful coping mechanisms develop in response to these challenges, exacerbating feelings of despair and loss of control. However, times of suffering can also serve as invitations to let go of limiting beliefs and ineffective coping strategies in order to become the person we aspire to be.

Our past can impact how we navigate the present. In my opinion, understanding our experiences can lead to healing and transformation. My priority is creating an open and safe space where you can freely explore those vulnerabilities. This is a space where you can vent, laugh, and make greater meaning out of your experiences. I use a strength-based approach to empower you to be your most authentic self. This approach can include times of humor and times when I challenge you. I believe the therapeutic relationship is integral to exploring uncomfortable emotions and relationship dynamics.

You are a high achieving professional, but you are still not fulfilled. You're not a quitter, but something needs to change. Feeling exhausted, worried, angry, stuck, and/or frustrated have become the norm. Perhaps you are having trouble concentrating or the workload, anxiety, and pressure are finally taking a toll. You present well on paper, so it's hard to believe that anyone could understand. You want to be excited about work and maybe even life again, or at least feel less anxious and depressed, but nothing you’ve tried so far has worked.

Are addiction, eating disorders, or trauma impacting your ability to live your best life? Do you feel like Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh, seeing life in a gloomy light? There are various ways people medicate pain and trauma. Perhaps you are drawn to risk and are using drugs or alcohol to the point where it's derailing your life. Food, exercise, money, work, or sex could also be used in a numbing way to help you escape reality. With all this chaos, there's no time to thrive; you're simply trying to survive.

My approach to therapy is based on the following: 1. The capacity for growth and healing is innate and hardwired. 2. All behavior serves a purpose. As a result of some life experiences, we may resort to what become maladaptive strategies to try to manage our pain. 3. Maladaptive coping patterns can be changed. 4. Change is scary and uncomfortable, but people are resilient.
