Navigating significant transitions is challenging for everyone, particularly when they impact your identity, culture, or values. During our therapy sessions, we will dedicate time and space to explore, define, and deepen your understanding of yourself, your relationships with others, and your connection to the world. By articulating difficult feelings, you will gain control over strong emotions rather than letting them control you. My goal is to empower my clients to discover their inner resources in the face of transitions, especially those that evoke feelings of instability, loss, isolation, uncertainty, and fear.
I specialize in providing expert guidance to individuals navigating new life challenges, particularly those adjusting to adoptive environments, experiencing the emotional complexities of immigration, or striving to assert themselves within families and groups where diverse values, beliefs, and expectations create conflict.
Whether you are undergoing a significant life transition or grappling with questions about your sense of belonging, I am here to help you create lasting and fulfilling changes. To schedule a free consultation, please call or text 847-512-7221.

"
I often use Relational Therapy in my practice, supported by other kinds of therapeutic models depending on what your needs are. During our first session we will discuss what brought you to therapy and will decide together what's the most appropriate path toward progress. Through interactions in our relationships I will help you explore, and improve your relationships outside of therapy.
