You may be feeling stuck in a relationship pattern that keeps repeating, navigating parenting or family challenges, or trying to make sense of anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or emotional reactivity that feels hard to manage. I work with couples, children, and adults who want greater clarity, connection, and flexibility, whether that means improving a relationship, supporting a child, or responding differently to anxiety and stressors within the context of real life and family systems.

Colorado & Illinois - Trauma-Informed Therapist + Psilocybin-Assisted Healing: If you’re feeling untethered, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something to shift, you’re in the right place. I work with older teens and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship struggles, identity transitions, grief, anxiety and those moments in life when everything can feel “stuck.” My style is warm, direct, collaborative, and rooted in the belief that people heal when they’re met with genuine presence and honest conversation.
I hold an MSW from the University of Chicago and am licensed in both Illinois and Colorado.

A three-year-old once told me: "Being a kid is hard. Being an adult is hard. Life is just hard."
This core belief resonates and brings many of my clients to therapy.
It also raises two important follow up questions:
"What can we do about it?" and "Is life anything else?"
I meet my clients where we are to explore these questions, develop awareness of self and our relationships with others and the systems we live in, and empower you to consciously choose how to respond to the hard of life. We will also work to notice and feed parts of life that stand hand-in-hand with the hard: resilience, ease, and joy.

Working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families involves a collaborative process involving all of the individuals who help a child develop, including relatives, school staff, pediatricians, and other therapists. It also involves creating a positive, upbeat, and energetic setting to foster growth and development. Utilizing techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), including mindfulness, my treatment paradigm involves evidence-based practices for a wide range of behavioral and emotional issues. I believe therapy should be proactive and not reactive, and that it must focus on strengths and not just weaknesses.

I commend you for taking this first step towards the life you want. As a clinical psychologist, I help individuals like you to develop tools to cope with anxiety, grief, isolation, and life transitions. My approach is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), an evidence-based orientation that helps my clients better understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected.

The therapists in our practice joined together because of our shared belief that our clients, who have reached out for help in managing and overcoming the challenges their lives, each have a unique set of strengths that often need to be better understood and developed. In our own styles, we each use the therapeutic relationship to understand what is interfering with an individual's sense of fulfillment in life. We approach therapy from the perspective that, at our core, our clients are health seeking but may be repeating old patterns that are not serving them well.

My passion is to help people explore their challenges, fulfill their best hopes, and find peace. Psychotherapy is my second career, following a degree in education. My love for teaching is a strength I bring when providing psychoeducational support to clients. I have over 25 years of experience working with survivors of sexual and interpersonal violence, first at the Quetzal rape crisis center, then at Community Counseling Centers of Chicago, and later as a supervisor of the agency's STARS program, which I helped found.

You're the one holding everything together. The family, the job, the expectations. But you're running on empty. My clients are the strong ones, the fixers, the people everyone else leans on. They come to me carrying anxiety, grief, and relationship strain that's been building for years. They've spent so long listening to everyone else's voice that they've lost track of their own. If that's you, you're in the right place.

Sometime we all feel unhappy, stressed, confused, or "stuck." Talking to an empathic and experienced therapist may be your first step toward developing new insights about positive change. My therapeutic approach is to encourage you to talk about your concerns openly in a confidential and safe environment where you will not be judged. A major benefit of therapy is to provide you with a second point-of-view on your personal material--a perspective other than your own. This process provides you with new ways to think about your choices and behaviors, and frees you to achieve your goals.
