When faith, school, or relationships feel destabilizing, sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace that holds strong feeling while making room for small, practical steps. I meet with people in Chicago and online in English, and we build a predictable rhythm of focused work in session and brief experiments between meetings. Therapy emphasizes acceptance, values-driven choices, grounding practices and gentle exposure paired with thought-mapping so you can reduce avoidance and make clearer decisions. This way of working often suits teens and young people seeking steadier footing.
