Stress Therapists in Chicago, IL
If you are facing life transitions, stress, loss of sense of purpose or meaning, overwhlem, trauma, grief/loss, anxiety, or depression, let's talk to see if we are the right fit.
If you are feeling stuck, I can be a guide in helping you find movement in your life. I will work with you to better understand your body and mind's ways of knowing as you explore your inner world. We may use creative practices like artmaking and body awareness along with discussion. Based on your goals, we will find what works best for you. I use a relational approach with a dash of humor in my practice, making space for both the hard things and the good stuff in life. Therapy should help you to feel that range more deeply, to feel you have options, and to feel capable of knowing what you need.

The path back to groundedness and rejuvenation is a little different for each of us. We've been through a difficult past few years, and so many of us are burnt out or disillusioned by the state of the world and the challenges of finding genuine connection - especially for those of us who are marginalized for being our authentic selves. Having a space to process our feelings and offload stress can be a turning point for many of us toward meaningful change and deeper awareness of ourselves as we navigate life's challenges. Together, we can find your path and walk it together.

Life, stress, and pressures around us can make it hard to connect with others, make healthy decisions, and lead a meaningful and authentic life. Maybe you're experiencing new transitions that are difficult to navigate. Maybe you're shutting others out or coping in ways that appear to be unhealthy or your happiness and confidence have turned into anger, sadness, isolation & self-doubt. Therapy might be just the space you need to help gain clarity and confidence. Though starting therapy may cause ambivalence, fear, nervousness and more, our work together will help you identify strategies to improve your quality of life.

As one of the first in-home addiction treatment providers in the country, we are an excellent fit for those struggling with substance abuse and/or mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and stress who want to remain engaged in positive forces in their lives (work, family) while they recover. Our clients also value the privacy and convenience that our treatment program offers. Of course, there should not be a one-size-fits-all approach to addiction treatment, as you have unique needs and goals. To that end, our clients have a dedicated team of addiction professionals to provide psychiatry, medication, and counseling services as appropriate, over the course of an entire year. Not only are we able to more precisely tailor your recovery program than other addiction treatment providers, but we also help you learn and practice coping skills in the environment in which your sobriety will be tested.

In addition, I focus on helping clients adopt healthy, effective coping strategies to manage stress and empowering them to self-manage and self-advocate.
Both personally and professionally, I feel a natural inclination to connect with and help others. I believe that, because nobody’s life is perfect, we all need some extra support at times. This perspective is what keeps me motivated and driven to do the work that I do. With an approach that is trauma-informed, client-centered, and strengths-based, I strive to create a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients. I believe in collaboration and working with clients to identify areas in which they seek change and to learn how to develop and use personal strengths and resources to make positive change possible.

I offer counseling for cultural and religious expectations and trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, as well as relationship issues.
For some of you, this is the first time you are choosing to live the life you want to live outside of the cultural and religious lines that were set for you. For others, this is the first time you are setting out on your own in a new city for school or a job. Maybe you just went through your first breakup and you are rediscovering yourself. Maybe this is the first time you’re grieving the loss of someone. These first moments can be significant in life, and while some firsts are more exciting than others, they all have something in common – our first moments, whatever they are, can bring out a mixed bag of complicated feelings.

We are often socialized to look outward, whether it’s to our family, friends, or societal expectations in order to fit in and succeed. Therapy is an opportunity to intentionally look inward at ourselves and help us find directions to live as our most authentic self.
