They say if you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life. This is true of me after entering the field of mental health.  I am so honored to be a part of your journey and to walk with you towards freedom, wholeness, and to become your authentic self.  I am a CSAT (Certified Sex Addiction Therapist) and have a passion for those who are struggling to break free from unhealthy and unwanted sexual behaviors.  I am passionate about helping people break unhealthy patterns and discover new wayss of living.  My belief is that every person entering my office already possesses what it necessary to become his or her authentic self; this is why I named the practice Pneuma.

I am happily married to my best friend and we have three children.  In my free time, I love staying active, planning my next backpacking trip, and spending time with my family and close friends enjoying a good meal, deep conversation, and having a good laugh.

It takes strength and courage to ask for support and sometimes the hardest thing to do is to take the first step. I recognize this challenge and the strength it takes to look at oneself, which is why I strive to create a safe and collaborative therapeutic space. During the therapeutic process, I help clients tell their story and create meaning from their life experiences, in order to regain their identity and start feeling good about themselves again. I work with adults to address life satisfaction, anxiety, depression, identity, and relationship problems. I enjoy working with parents on achieving work/life balance, and on family/parenting concerns. I also have a speciality in working with trauma and abuse. My role is to help individuals navigate their path toward personal growth and self-awareness. I utilize a holistic approach to therapy, and use evidence based techniques from cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy, I work with clients to promote awareness of their thoughts and feelings, and identify patterns and problematic beliefs. As therapy progresses, you will find yourself acting with greater intention and feeling more empowered and fulfilled! [Read More]

We all have an innate ability to heal and grow to live authentic and fulfilling lives. Sometimes difficult life experiences & societal structures cause us to disconnect from this inner healer. Our work together will be a collaborative, insight-oriented process, to help you work through some past or current issues & make empowered, well-informed decisions in the present & about the future. I focus on creating an open, culturally sensitive & non-judgmental space for clients. I lean on your existing strengths to determine an approach best suited to you and also incorporate somatic-focused techniques to enhance the mind-body connection. I work with people from diverse cultural backgrounds to help them navigate challenging experiences with depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma and identity exploration. I also provide therapy around the integration of psychedelic experiences & currently work in partnership with a local ketamine clinic to provide Ketamine assisted therapy, under supervision. I also lean on my experience as an artist to engage clients in expressive ways of experiencing emotions as language can be limiting. Deciding to confront personal concerns with a stranger can feel scary & it takes immense courage. If you’re facing any of the aforementioned, let’s talk to see if we are the right fit. Currently work in Roger’s Park & the Loop. [Read More]

Hello, I’m Mark Moore Expert Psychologist in Chicago, IL I believes that the role of the therapist is to help the client develop an increased self awareness and the client has the ability for self direction. An integrative approach of cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, existential and psycho-dynamic theoretical frameworks is applied during therapy. Clients come to therapy with a complex value system and their value system must be understood and valued for therapy to be effective. Clients have the power to infuse new meaning into their lives and experience fulfillment. The therapeuticeutic relationship gives clients a chance to safely explore new effective coping mechanisms to improve the quality of their lives. [Read More]
