We provide trauma-informed, culturally sensitive individual therapy for adults in Chicago and across Illinois through online sessions. Our approach recognizes how trauma can affect the nervous system, emotions, relationships, and self-worth, and we work at a pace that feels safe, collaborative, and respectful.

We also understand that culture, identity, family background, immigration experiences, and lived experiences can shape how stress and trauma are carried. Our goal is to create a supportive space where you feel understood, empowered, and not judged—while using evidence-based treatment to help you move toward healing and lasting change.

Description (recommended):

EMDR therapy is an evidence-based, structured approach that helps people process traumatic memories and reduce trauma-related symptoms. Many clients seek EMDR for PTSD, complex trauma (CPTSD), anxiety, and distressing experiences that continue to feel “stuck” emotionally or physically.

During EMDR, we use bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping) to support the brain’s natural healing process. Over time, this can help reduce emotional intensity, triggers, and body-based fear responses connected to past experiences. EMDR is always paced carefully and tailored to your readiness and needs.

We provide EMDR therapy through online sessions for adults in Chicago and across Illinois.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is effective for trauma recovery because it helps individuals identify and address the various sub-personalities or "parts" within themselves that may have been affected by trauma, enabling them to heal and reintegrate these parts. This approach fosters greater self-compassion and resilience, supporting the individual in processing and overcoming traumatic experiences. Moreover, It helps individuals build long-term coping resources for emotional stability and regain a sense of control in their lives.

Brainspotting is a specialized therapeutic approach that helps individuals process and heal from deep-seated trauma, anxiety, and other emotional challenges. By accessing the brain’s natural ability to heal itself through bilateral stimulation and focused attention on identified ‘brainspots,’ clients can release stored emotional pain and distress. Through Brainspotting, we aim to empower individuals on their journey towards emotional resilience and improved mental well-being.

Attachment-informed therapy focuses on how early relationships and life experiences shape emotional safety, self-worth, and patterns in close relationships. This approach can be especially helpful for clients healing from complex trauma (CPTSD), relational trauma, developmental trauma and childhood trauma. Our work supports building healthier boundaries, deeper self-trust, and more secure connections with others.

Relational therapy focuses on how past and present relationships can shape emotional patterns, coping strategies, and a sense of safety. This approach also recognizes how cultural background, gender identity, race, social experiences, sexuality, and life circumstances may influence the way trauma is experienced and carried.

Through a relational lens, clients with a history of trauma have the opportunity to explore healthy boundaries and build more secure attachment patterns within the safety of the therapeutic relationship. Therapy also provides space to practice communication skills, strengthen self-trust, and learn how to repair relationship ruptures in healthier, non-toxic ways.
