I specialize in treatment of trauma, and working with children, adolescents, alternative lifestyles, LGBTQ, and have Jungian dream analysis training. I prefer open ended and free flowing approaches that will include multiple modalities in sessions such as movement, games and artistic expressions. I would describe my therapeutic approach as open, using humor, as I recognize therapy sessions should not solely focus on negative feelings. My clinical orientation is eclectic and I can fluidly merge multiple approaches such as behavioral, cognitive, relational, psycho-dynamic. I focus a lot on the use of Jungian Theory synchronicity.

Some days are sidetracked by endless thinking loops: “Why do I do that?”, “What’s wrong with me?”, and “How can I stop feeling this way?” I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, chronic stress, rumination, and excessive worry. Many of my clients feel stuck in cycles of overthinking and self-doubt, which can interfere with relationships, parenting, goal setting, work, sleep, and overall quality of life. I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with a master’s degree from Loyola University Chicago, and I have 25 years experience.

I find the most satisfaction working with those struggling with relationships - relationships with others as well your relationship with yourself. This struggle might express itself as feelings of emptiness, sadness, loneliness, disconnection, fear or anxiety, confusion, or meaninglessness. Alternatively, you might feel stuck or frozen within yourself. My goal is to work with you to help you define and understand these feelings, create the links and meanings of them, and ultimately to get you back moving on your life's roadmap.

Many of us come to therapy because we continue to carry pain from past experiences; pain that has shaped how we see ourselves, relate to others, and move through the world. Beneath that pain, however, lies an innate capacity for healing, which can emerge in the safety of a compassionate therapeutic relationship. Since beginning my work in the mental health field nearly 15 years ago, I have recognized that a strong therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of meaningful change. Allow me to provide you with a warm and non-judgmental relationship where you can feel heard, develop coping skills, and co-create meaning change.

I teach people how to listen to themselves and what to listen for. Every problem, anxiety, or conflict is calling for a fresh perspective-- a way to see it from a new angle. Symptoms are the signals indicating that we need to take the time to notice, listen, and explore what we "hear." We can understand and connect with the unmet needs to which our symptoms are alerting us rather than merely silencing the messenger symptom without getting the important message we need.

Want to cheat on your therapist? If you’re tired of just recounting your week, being understood without anything actually changing, or circling the same insight without landing anywhere new, something is missing. Most people who find me are already in therapy, but leaving can feel disloyal, frightening, or exhausting. In my work, we don’t just recount your week. We look at what you’re still protecting and who you became in order to survive. I work with people who are tired of performing, afraid they are too much, and hoping someone will be even more. Talk to me before you make the switch. Maybe I’m your white rabbit?
