Women’s Mental Health Care
in Chicago, Illinois
Therapist for Anxiety, Depression, and Chronic Illness
Relationship challenges, family pressures, career goals, health issues—the list of what’s on your mind could go on and on.
In the face of all that, it is understandable if you are feeling burned out, on edge, or overwhelmed.
My practice is dedicated to helping women live more fulfilling and less stressful lives. I focus on women’s mental health because I believe you deserve support in navigating the challenges of being a woman in today’s society.
Together, we can develop new insights and find practical solutions to help you live a life aligned with what’s most important to you.
“I want to stop feeling so anxious all the time.”
You know worrying isn’t fixing anything but you can’t help it. The pressure to do everything perfectly is crushing and gets in the way of what’s most important to you.
Worrying is a part of life but it doesn’t need to diminish your joy and sense of security in the world. Therapy for anxiety can help understand the patterns fueling your anxiety and what you need to find relief.
“I’m tired of feeling not good enough.”
Whether it's work, parenting, or relationships, it can be easy to feel like you aren’t doing enough. Sometimes that pressure can lead to depression, low motivation, and increased stress.
If you can’t stop feeling bad about yourself no matter what you accomplish, therapy can help you revise those critical inner thoughts.
“I need to learn how to cope with my health condition.”
Living with a health condition impacts your life in big and small ways. It can be quite the challenge to adapt to those changes—and to navigate our complex health system. In therapy, we can explore how your physical health is impacting your identity, emotions, relationships, and hopes for the future. From there, I can help you find new ways to cope and adapt in order to focus on what is most important to you while also caring for your health.
“Dating makes me so anxious. I need more clarity on what I want.”
Many people experience more uncertainty than excitement after a few dates with a new person. After all, they are still practically a stranger! How are you supposed to know if they are the one? For some, this uncertainty continues as the decisions only get bigger as the relationship goes along.
You aren’t the only person feeling this way. In my practice, I help individuals change their relationship patterns and learn to better identify what they want in a partnership. Psychotherapy can help you better understand your anxieties about relationships and support you in building a fulfilling partnership.
Therapy for Anxiety, Depression, and Stress
No matter what challenges you face, we can work together to improve your mental health and to increase your connection to what’s most important to you.
I believe there is no “one size fits all” approach to therapy. That’s why I use a variety of interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and contemporary Psychodynamic Psychotherapy to identify the unique factors impacting your mental health and what will help.
If you would like to discuss whether working together may be a good fit, please reach out to schedule a introductory consultation call.
