Licensed Clinical Social Workers
“Psychotherapist working towards eliminating the stigma surrounding mental illness. Self-care/self-love advocate.”
About Me
As a psychotherapist, I offer a space dedicated to dissolving the stigma surrounding mental health. I help individuals cultivate self-compassion, guiding them to embrace self-care and self-love. We explore practical strategies together, building inner strength and resilience. This non-judgmental environment is ideal for anyone ready to prioritise their well-being. Together, we can find a way forward.
Approach
Working to change how mental health is perceived, I guide sessions toward practical, embodied self-compassion—small experiments that feel manageable and respectful of your pace. In my Chicago office or through secure online meetings in English, Spanish or Thai, sessions often include gentle creative prompts, breath-centered mindfulness and focused reflection so insights carry into daily life. We move at your rhythm with short check-ins, hands-on tasks and collaborative problem-solving between appointments. This approach tends to suit people facing abuse, adoption, adolescent or relationship transitions who want steady, practical support.
