Individual Therapy

Chicago │Virtual

Seeking individual therapy can feel like a deeply personal and sometimes daunting step. Finding the right fit is important, and choosing to begin this journey is a meaningful act of courage. I am here to help you feel comfortable, supported, and confident as you take this step toward your mental health and well-being.

At Affective Growth, we focus on creating meaningful change through evidence-based approaches, while fostering a space that feels warm, authentic, and supportive. Rather than feeling rigid or overly clinical, therapy is designed to help you feel truly heard, understood, and at ease throughout the process. I am here to guide you every step of the way and am available if you have any questions or need additional support.

We can help with:

  • Anxiety

    Symptoms related to Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, perfectionism, social anxiety, and panic disorder, often involving persistent worry, intrusive thoughts, fear of judgment, and heightened emotional and physical distress

  • Burnout/High Stress

    Symptoms related to exhaustion, overwhelm, and resentment; a cycle of overfunctioning to shutdown; loss of energy, meaning, identity, or balance; chronic stress and high cortisol

  • ADHD/Executive Dysfunction

    Symptoms related to difficulty with focus, organization, time management, and follow-through that can impact daily functioning, productivity, and self-esteem, often feeling frustrating, overwhelming, or inconsistent

  • Identity & Cultural Challenges

    Navigating identity, cultural expectations, and belonging while balancing personal values, family dynamics, and experiences of marginalization, misunderstanding, or feeling caught between different worlds, roles, or versions of yourself

  • Relationship

    Navigating communication, boundaries, and emotional needs in relationships while addressing patterns and challenges to build more secure, authentic, and fulfilling connections with others
