The decision to seek therapy can be difficult, as it's hard to reach out for help. My goal is to make therapy feel less overwhelming through a collaborative partnership where together we identify your challenges and develop healthy coping skills. My style, rooted in warmth and humor, utilizes the therapeutic relationship to explore positive change and growth. Customized feedback and a range of strategies are provided drawing from evidenced based research and years of clinical expertise. I specialize in individual and couples therapy uniquely focusing on enhancing relationships, healing from the past, and thriving individually.

I am dedicated to helping clients of all identities and sexual preferences rewrite the relational narratives that are no longer in alignment with their values, life stage, or desires. I particularly enjoy working with clients who are healing from trauma, struggling with desire, or experiencing anxiety—helping to guide them in creating a more connected relationship with their full authentic selves. I also help couples mindfully navigate consensual non-monogamy, kink, BDSM, and other unique relational dynamics, and encourage clients to craft their own scripts that fit their unique relational landscape.

How do you treat yourself? Can you say you treat yourself with the same compassion and care you show your family? Your friends? Your partner? Are you your best supporter or your biggest critic? We should talk! My passion is working with adults who are not satisfied with their relationships - with friends, family, or significant others. You deserve to feel loved and important, I want to help you identify and remove the barriers keeping you from realizing the life you want.

I believe in the transformative power of a compassionate and trusting therapeutic relationship. I value patience and kindness as I walk with my clients through their struggles. There are many paths to healing, and I invite my clients to collaborate with me on identifying their barriers and overcoming them with curiosity and creativity. Each person has innate strengths, and I work with clients on harnessing these tools. Together, we shine a light on old narratives to make way for change and transformation.

Forging your own path comes with so many rewards – but finding your footing isn’t always easy. You’re not afraid of putting in the work to create the life you want, but finding the balance between work, school, family, community, spirituality, modern-life demands and self-care takes it toll. At times the journey starts to feel more like an ordeal and you find yourself struggling. Maybe at times you even question if the path you are on is heading where you want to be.

Are you done struggling with anxiety, depression, and relationships? Are you ready to feel fully yourself and alive again? Are you ready to build the life you want to live? My first goal when meeting with you is to establish a genuine & collaborative connection. This'll serve as the foundation for the work necessary to deal with daily feelings, understand experiences & make positive changes to your life. We'll work together to help you feel whole, peaceful, and connected. When you're done with therapy, you'll feel empowered and ready to face whatever challenges life throws at you. I can help you live your passion, purpose & truth.

Relationships can be a powerful source of fulfillment to draw from in our lives. Miscommunication, old patterns, unrealistic expectations and daily stress sometimes step in, preventing them from providing that happiness and strength. Therapy can break down barriers to improve communication, decrease conflict and increase emotional and physical intimacy. I specialize in the respectful treatment of relationship and sexual concerns, utilizing an open, honest, and sex-positive approach to help assess your unique personal goals and assist you in developing more positive and fulfilling relationships- with yourself and with partners.

My ideal clients? They're a colorful bunch, representing diverse backgrounds and facing issues like past trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship twists, and the journey of self-discovery. They're on a mission for clarity, healing, and personal growth. They crave a therapist who's all about keeping it real, serving up those honest truths, and providing the answers, support, and guidance that'll help them conquer their struggles, transforming into even more resilient and empowered versions of themselves.

One on one, human to human, I believe in walking with you, meeting you wherever you’re at in your life. With unconditional positive regard and a lot of authenticity, I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, safe space where you can feel comfortable being real and opening up. Using a whole-person approach, our relationship will be a partnership that is personalized and tailored to you and your values. We’re going to pivot between focusing on letting go of what’s not in your control and empowering you to change what you can.

I help people wishing to improve the quality of their lives by focusing on their interpersonal needs and how they gratify or frustrate their most important priorities. My training provides me with a strong foundation in helping to guide individuals, couples and families to identify the obstacles hindering their feelings of satisfaction and to apply the most effective therapeutic interventions. I have served 38 years on the faculty of Northwestern University Medical School and I have had the opportunities to serve as an expert consultant to many companies, attorneys, public safety agencies, and as an expert witness.

I am delighted you found me here on Psychology Today. My ideal client comes from many different walks of life - children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. My ideal client is looking for change and a therapist that is going to "shoot straight" with them and do more than just nod their head in agreement. My ideal client is looking for direction and change in their lives and wants a partner in change. I work with my ideal client on anxiety, major depression, trauma, couples counseling, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), oppositional-defiant disorder (ODD), and substance abuse, and LGBTQIA+ issues.
