In Chicago, the culture of "getting it done" is deep-seated. Whether you are navigating the high-stakes trading floors of the Loop, leading a team at a tech firm in the West Loop’s Silicon Prairie, or managing a demanding professional life in the North Shore, the pressure to maintain a certain trajectory is immense. In a city that values resilience and grit, it is easy to mistake "functioning well" for "living meaningfully."

You might find yourself at a point where your outward accomplishments no longer provide the inner fulfillment they once did. This is Dynamic Stagnation, the exhausting experience of staying in constant motion while feeling fundamentally disconnected from your purpose. As a licensed psychologist serving Chicago and all of Illinois via secure teletherapy, I help high achievers look past the city’s standard of "busy" to explore deeper existential questions. Our work together focuses on moving beyond mere stress management into a space of authentic choice, helping you align your professional drive with your personal values.
