Therapist

My therapeutic style is to ask a lot of questions and really try to find the answers to what is bothering you. In our sessions, you will cry, laugh, talk excessively or talk a little. Our sessions will be all about you and what you need in the moment. I want our sessions to be a safe place for you to be comfortable. Bring your treats and your tissues. Bring your patience and your strength. We will be together and I will support you when you are feeling weak. Usually, I see what makes you special first. You will need to tell me what is wrong.

Therapist

I am a LCSW with more than 11 years of experience supporting individuals and families navigating life transitions. I earned my master's degree from the University of Chicago, where I focused on clinical practice and community based mental health.

My background includes work in foster care, community mental health, and supporting people navigating anxiety, stress, and major life changes. I’ve spent much of my career helping clients build emotional resilience, strengthen identity, and feel more grounded in their daily lives.

I work with adults, teens, and caregivers, and I bring a collaborative, down to earth style to therapy. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful change.

Therapist

If you've been carrying the weight of trauma, grief, or anxiety for longer than you can remember, you're not alone.

I've spent 12 years as a licensed counselor in Chicago working with people of all ages, from young children to seniors. What keeps me in this work is the moment a client realizes they've been surviving something hard, and that there's a different way forward.

I have a particular passion for working with mothers navigating postpartum struggles, families dealing with grief and loss, and adults working through trauma and PTSD. Many of my clients were looking for someone who would be real with them, not just professional. That's what you'll find here.
