Having been born and raised on the Northwest Side of Chicago, it is incredibly meaningful for me to now serve the same community that helped shape who I am today. I approach this work with a deep sense of gratitude and humility, recognizing the privilege it is to be invited into someone’s story. I believe that while each person’s journey is unique, the need to feel understood and connected is something we all share. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as your authentic self, feel heard without judgment, and begin to make sense of your experiences. I strive to meet you with empathy, intention, and compassion.

I am a relational, trauma-informed therapist who helps people understand and transform the patterns that no longer serve them. I work from the belief that these patterns were once powerful survival strategies—and that with compassion and awareness, we can create new ways of relating to ourselves and others. My style is grounded, collaborative, and emotionally attuned. I don’t just focus on insight; I help you build new capacities and skills to create real change in yourself and in your relationships.

Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to read my profile. I know there are many to choose from. If you ask anyone about me, they will tell you I don't beat around the bush. You are choosing therapy to make some changes and that is what I want to help you do! It is difficult but with the right guidance and support, you can take those steps to be happy and confident. It's hard, and takes courage, strength, and maybe a little humor along the way!

Are you struggling with issues of aging, anxiety, trauma, or serious illness? I have extensive experience working with older adults and appreciate the stories and wisdom that many older clients bring to therapy; I also believe change can happen at any age. I enjoy working with the unique challenges of younger adults and men as well, especially those searching for ways to cope with life transitions and changes. We live in a fast-paced work where we often don't get a chance to reflect, at times leaving us feeling alienated from ourselves and the environment. Our work together can help you pause, look inward, and ultimately, to thrive.

I am now offering monthly drop-in groups online. These experiential groups will focus on cultivating mindfulness, creative expression, and resiliency. Please email me for more information! Insurance and self-pay options are available.
I believe that as we connect and attune to our inner wisdom and intuition, our path becomes clearer, we nourish and clarify our gifts, and we find the courage and compassion to show up as our genuine selves. We have many storytellers- our heart, our mind, our body, our spirit. Often through our upbringing and life experiences we learn to ignore or shut down those storytellers in order to survive.

We are a multi-specialty group of doctoral level Licensed Clinical Psychologists and more recently, licensed counselors and social workers. We work with children, adolescents, adults, and families of all ages. We are interested in empowering and reinforcing a person's strengths, rather than focusing on their negative qualities. As such, positive coping skills and the concept of Health Psychology is important. Proper nutrition, exercise, and a healthy mind is important in finding balance and happiness in one's life. We try to understand maladaptive patterns and help focus our clients in participating in healthy patterns and outcomes.

Therapy TikTok and self-help podcasts offer the comfort of being heard without the risk of being truly known. Psychotherapy offers the opposite, the risk of being known and the reward of being truly seen. I work with individuals and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I believe lasting change starts with understanding why. Why we repeat the same dynamic in every relationship. Why we sabotage the things we want most. Why we shut down instead of reaching out. Twenty years in the arts taught me that the most meaningful work requires collaboration and curiosity, and that it doesn't have to be humorless.
