Helping people pleasers, overthinkers, and trauma survivors let go of burnout, emotional baggage, and unhealthy boundaries.

If you’re someone who puts others first, second-guesses yourself, or feels weighed down by past experiences and constant stress, you’re in the right place. I specialize in helping people pleasers, overthinkers, trauma survivors, and those who feel chronically overwhelmed find relief, confidence, and a sense of calm.
Therapy with me is like a conversation with someone who truly gets it—no judgment, no pressure, just a space where you can be yourself. I take a warm, down-to-earth approach, combining professional expertise with genuine human connection. My goal isn’t just to help you “cope” but to support you in creating real, lasting change that makes life feel lighter and more fulfilling.
You don’t have to figure it all out alone. If you’re ready to start making shifts—big or small—I’d love to walk that path with you.

Our Services

EMDR Therapy in Chicago

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. That’s a mouthful, but here’s the simple version: it’s a powerful type of therapy that helps your brain process tough memories so they stop feeling so raw or overwhelming.

Anxiety Therapy in Chicago

If your mind feels like it’s always racing—or if you’re constantly on edge, overthinking everything, or trying to hold it all together—anxiety might be running the show. But there’s a way through it. Therapy can help you slow down, breathe, and feel more like you again.

Trauma Therapy in Chicago

These experiences can stay with you long after they’ve happened, affecting your mood, your thoughts, and even your body. If left unchecked, trauma can continue to affect every part of your life—your relationships, work, health, and even how you see yourself.

Therapy for People Pleasers in Chicago

People pleasing isn’t just about being nice. It’s often a deeply rooted habit formed from past experiences—like growing up in a home where love had to be earned, or learning that your value depended on being “easy,” “helpful,” or “low maintenance.”

Individual therapy

Struggling with anxiety or past trauma can feel overwhelming, like your mind won’t slow down or your body is constantly on edge. But therapy should be more than just talking about your feelings—it should give you real, practical strategies to help you feel calmer, more in control, and better equipped to handle life’s challenges.

In our work together, we’ll go beyond surface-level conversations. We’ll identify patterns that are keeping you stuck, process difficult experiences in a safe and supportive way, and build tools to help you manage stress, quiet self-doubt, and navigate life with more confidence. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.

What Is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. That’s a mouthful, but here’s the simple version: it’s a powerful type of therapy that helps your brain process tough memories so they stop feeling so raw or overwhelming.

Whether it’s something big like a traumatic event or something that just won’t stop bugging you (like a painful breakup or a stressful job situation), EMDR helps your brain file those memories away properly—so they’re not constantly popping up and messing with your peace of mind.
