Hi! I’m Cecilia
I'm a fully licensed professional counselor in the state of Illinois with over 13 years of experience. I'm passionate about helping women heal from relational wounds and anxiety. Most of my clients are in over the age of 20, feeling anxious and lost in relationships that don’t feel fulfilling. Whether it’s romantic, social, career-related, or family-of-origin relationships, they often feel like they’re doing so much and giving so much, yet none of it ever feels like enough.
I often see them struggle as they feel stuck—unfulfilled, anxious, and overwhelmed—caught in cycles of perfectionism, validation-seeking, or people-pleasing behaviors. In therapy, I help women gain insight into the different parts within themselves (IFS) and guide them toward awareness of the narratives that keep them stuck (Narrative Therapy). I facilitate the process of rewriting these narratives and developing new ones that foster healing and empowerment.
I also help women become more attuned to their emotions (Somatic Therapy and Mindfulness), their needs, and their values (ACT), so they can move through life feeling proud of who they are and the lives they’re creating. Through this process, I’ve seen countless women grow calmer, more confident, and able to build relationships that feel truly healthy and fulfilling.
I provide online therapy for women in Illinois, so you can access support from home, work, or wherever feels most comfortable.
Get to Know Me!
I am a bicultural therapist, born and raised in the beautiful country of Argentina. At sixteen, my parents decided we would move to the United States—and that changed everything. My story is one of pain, but also one of healing, perseverance, faith, and growth. I know what it’s like to navigate a new culture while feeling bound by my family’s cultural expectations and unhealthy dynamics. I’ve made my own share of unhealthy relationship choices and have gained insight and healing from them. I am passionate about helping others find and create fulfilling relationships with themselves and with others.
Through my own work—and a bit of divine intervention—I can say I’m a survivor of it all. I have grown in ways I never imagined and have learned many important lessons. And I know you can too!
I love animals! If I could, this would be my second job. Here's my furry bestie. My shadow has the shape of a dog!
We go on lots of walks and love spending time outdoors exploring.
I'm in a biracial marriage and I love my best friend. Also, navigating LatinX issues in a mixed family has given me lots of experiences to learn from.
I love art of all forms. Painting helps me recharge-here's one of my watercolor paintings. Learning it is fun and challenging in many ways.
