Therapy for Adults & Couples

You do not have to carry the weight of figuring it out alone. Therapy is a space to slow down, heal, and begin again. Intentional Counseling Chicago is a purposeful, collaborative space to heal old wounds, transform unhealthy patterns, and meet your truest self.

I believe healing happens within us, but it shapes everything around us.

Relationships can hold both joy and complex pain. We create a safe space to understand unhealed wounds, break unhelpful patterns, address conflicts, and clarify the emotional dynamics within your relationship. You can then make grounded choices for yourselves and your relationship.

You are carrying more than you've let on. Sometimes it's one thing, sometimes it's everything at once
You feel anxious, overwhelmed, or just stuck
Life shifted or shattered and you don't feel like yourself
You have been strong for everyone else and you're running on empty
Your relationships have created wounds or keep repeating the same cycles
You just know something needs to change, including how you take care of yourself

Whatever brought you here, this is a warm, culturally affirming space. My presence is understanding yet direct, respectfully challenging any blind spots so you can move forward. I naturally add a touch of humor when invited.

We work through it together as you become the best version of yourself. Ready to take your seat?

You may be here because:

Individual Therapy

We will begin by processing what's weighing on you. You may develop coping strategies, end unhealthy patterns, and begin showing up for yourself differently. Either way, this healing journey is tailored specifically to you.

Areas of Support

Depression & Anxiety

Life can feel heavy when you're in survival mode or your mind is constantly running. We work to quiet the noise, reduce overwhelm, and move towards relief and emotional calm.

Coping Skills
Stress Management / Burnout
Self-Esteem
Grief

Identity & Life Transitions

When roles shift, values evolve, or cultural expectations weigh heavily, it can be hard to know who you are or where you’re headed. I help you reconnect with yourself and build a more authentic sense of identity.

Racial Identity
Chronic Illness
Women’s Issues
Spirituality

Relational & Complex Trauma

Past experiences should not dictate your future relationships, self-worth, or daily life. You will enhance understanding of patterns, heal wounds, and move towards the life and relationships you deserve.

Relationship Issues
Family Conflict
Peer Relationships
Complex- post Traumatic Stress disorder (C-PTSD)

MY APPROACH

Tailored Care

Healing is as unique as each person. Drawing from CBT and a range of integrative frameworks, I design care around what you specifically need.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

A structured method for challenging negative thought processes and modifying behaviors to navigate life stressors.

Integrative Therapy

Utilizing a robust toolkit, I incorporate other evidence-based approaches for your healing journey, including:

Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Acceptance and Commitment (ACT)
Emotionally Focused
Gottman Method
Emotional Freedom Technique ("Tapping")

Trauma-Focused
Strengths-Based

I also integrate tools from Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and somatic approaches, as needed.

You can expect a welcoming environment focused entirely on your well-being. I holistically explore your experiences to understand what support you need most. Together, we will outline your particular therapeutic goals.
