Introduction

Hi, I’m AJ, an EMDR therapist at Chicago EMDR, specializing in supporting people through life transitions, change, loss, and grief. If you’re here, there’s a good chance you’re carrying something heavy – the pain of a recent loss, the disorientation of a major life change, or the ongoing weight of a chronic illness or health condition. Whether you’re grieving the death of a loved one, moving through a divorce, adjusting to a difficult diagnosis — I want you to know you’re not alone. In therapy, I offer a safe, supportive space where you can explore your story at your own pace. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), along with relational and acceptance-based therapies, to help you gently process painful experiences, reconnect with your body’s wisdom, and begin to make sense of how your past may be showing up in your present — whether through emotions, thought patterns, or behaviors. I believe healing happens in relationship — with others and with yourself. Our work together can be a place to practice feeling safe, seen, and in control. You are the expert on your own experience; my role is to listen deeply and walk alongside you with evidence-based tools and a compassionate presence. I work with adults of all ages and identities, including people of all sexual and gender orientations. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready to talk — I’d be honored to support your healing journey.
