I have over 3 decades of experience working in the fields of mental health and social work. I work with youth, adults, and couples who are struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, relationship issues, and school refusal.

I have spent my career learning and translating theories into practice with individuals, families, couples, and groups. For the last few years, I've gained deeper knowledge working with trauma, anxiety, couples, and the LGBTQIA+ population.

Hi! I'm Dawn, and I'm excited to meet you. Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, family stress, relationship difficulties, or painful experiences leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure where to turn next. You may be trying to balance the needs of everyone around you while struggling to care for yourself. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, stress, panic disorders, anger management concerns, infertility, chronic illness, women's issues, family conflict, and relationship challenges. My background in children and family services and my training in infant and early childhood mental health allow me to support individuals and families through life's many transitions. My goal is to provide a compassionate space where you feel safe, heard, and supported while we work together to better understand your experiences and create meaningful, lasting change.

Hi, I'm Makeda (Kee)! I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns you want to change, struggling in your relationships, or simply looking for a better way forward, therapy can give you the space to understand what's going on and figure out what comes next.

With 7 years of experience, I bring a warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative approach to therapy. We'll look at what's contributing to the challenges you're facing, build on the strengths you already have, and develop practical ways to help you feel more confident, emotionally balanced, and connected to the life you want. My goal is for therapy to feel supportive and genuine while still helping you create meaningful change.

Do you feel stuck? Like nothing will ever get better? People tell you to just get over it? It's okay to ask for help and you don't have to figure it out alone. I come from a culture that

promotes courage, creativity, and communication, and I bring those values into every session.


I work with adults navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, depression, ADHD, and trauma, drawing on your strengths while addressing what's holding you back. My goal is to guide you toward wellness and balance in your relationships, your daily life, and your sense of self.

I am a Chicago-Based Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am bi-lingual in English/Spanish. Let's begin your journey!

I know starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve felt misunderstood in the past.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in behavioral health, and I hold a Doctor of Social Work (DSW). I specialize in childhood trauma, anxiety, burnout, and working with neurodivergent individuals, including ADHD and autism. I often support people who feel overwhelmed, stuck in survival mode, or exhausted from masking and holding everything together on their own.

My style is warm and down to earth, and I focus on meeting you where you are in each session. Therapy with me is collaborative and flexible, shaped around what works best for you. My goal is to offer a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as you work toward meaningful change.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor with a background that includes years of work with people navigating some of the hardest chapters of their lives — including incarcerated individuals, people struggling with addiction, and those carrying cultural weight that doesn't show up in a standard intake form. I'm South Asian, I grew up navigating two worlds, and that shapes how I show up for clients who've had to figure things out without a clear map. I don't do therapy with a clipboard. I'm direct, I'm real, and I'm genuinely interested in what's underneath the surface.
