Transforming anxiety and conflict into stronger connections with yourself and others
Anxiety Therapy for Adults Navigating Cultural Identity and Relationships in Illinois
Be the generational curse-breaker of your family.
Hi, I’m Shirley.
I’ll be your guide to finding clarity in the chaos. Intergenerational trauma? Let's navigate those challenges together! Have you been taught to silence your voice in a room full of adults, only to find that belief causing stress and conflict in your relationships today? Saying 'no' felt disrespectful to elders, and you were always the 'responsible one,' taking care of everyone—except now, you're struggling to stay afloat. If perfectionism, over-promising, and overwhelm feel like constants, let’s work together to break these patterns.
I provide online anxiety therapy for individuals and couples in Chicago and those living in Illinois. Book a free 15-minute consult with me via Zoom to see if therapy is right for you and how I can best support you. Let's create a personalized plan to help you move beyond anxiety and depression, starting your journey to relief sooner.
You don’t have to face this alone. Conflicts can serve as an opportunity for deeper connection.
Imagine going to family gatherings or social events feeling energized, being fully present, and setting clear expectations of what you want.
You have the capacity to understand and RESPOND, not simply REACT when conflicts occur.
I don’t want you to be in therapy forever. I want you to learn the skills and gain sustainable confidence to create the life you’ve always dreamed of.
Give yourself permission to follow your heart and live the life you’ve always wanted.
Whether you're managing anxiety, breaking free from family patterns, or navigating relationship challenges, I’m here to guide you toward the change you seek.
Schedule a free consultation to explore how therapy can help you.
