It just happened again. A coworker said something that rubbed you slightly the wrong way, and you exploded at them. Now you’re feeling ashamed and confused – “Why does this keep happening to me?” Your fuse has been so short lately. Every task feels daunting, and you’re constantly overwhelmed. If it’s not work, it’s the kids, your partner, or friends – someone ALWAYS needs something from you. Of course, you need things too, but there’s no time for that. So you ignore what you want and keep pushing through. But it’s taking a toll. You’re unsure how much longer you can go on like this. You want to make a change but don’t know how.

I am a direct, interactive, and insightful psychotherapist who has a thoughtful, patient, and collaborative approach to therapy. My clinical practice focuses on sexual and reproductive health as well as relationship issues in individuals and couples. Therapy is about improving relationships with oneself and others by working through unexpected difficulties and changes which occur in life and creating better possibilities for the future. Therapy can help explore patterns of relating, both past and present, and find alternative ways of expressing these thoughts and feelings so that one may achieve increased life satisfaction.

I am an inclusive and compassionate therapist who works with clients ranging from young adults to elders navigating the effects of trauma, grief and loss, and identity issues/exploration with a particular affinity for working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I have extensive experience supporting clients in non-traditional relationship structures such as polyamory and consensual non-monogamy through an affirmative, kink-aware and sex positive lens. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community I bring a personal understanding of the unique forms of trauma that can affect members of our community.

I am currently only seeing clients virtually. I am located in Chicago and am licensed in IL, GA and MO, so I can only accept clients in those states.
I wholeheartedly believe that because the majority of our wounds occur inside relationship, healing will come through relationship as well. In our work, I can offer you warmth and empathy as we gently explore the ‘why’ behind what you do while uncovering your strength and resilience. My work with clients focuses on grief and loss, trauma, relational discord, anxiety, depression, body image, life-transitions, and the intersection of faith and spirituality with day to day living.

I help people who have difficulty managing their feelings, organizing their time, speaking up for themselves, and issues with sleep. Seeking help with these things is not easy, although it is often needed to get past places where you feel stuck. There are ways to learn to cope better and better manage your life. Together, we work to create solutions to make the life you would prefer to live, within a warm supportive atmosphere.

Accepting new clients of all ages with immediate availability! As a sex therapist, I pride myself on setting a space that permits you to take an inspired role in your healing journey, and it is my job to provide support and empowerment. I understand that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all practice, which is why I tailor my approach to each client depending on the nuance of the situation. It gives my life meaning to participate in a healing community, working one-on-one with people, offering a safe space to process whatever is needed: life, relationships, triggers, and other obstacles, and develop useful and pragmatic coping tools.

You may notice yourself feeling underappreciated, alone, or unimportant in your relationship; like your relationship could change if there was better communication. If you and your partner are feeling stuck or misaligned, therapy can help you prioritize, support, and join each other through journey of life. I help couples understand their patterns of stuckness and awaken the security of their partnership. I believe security and emotions, both real and valid, are the driving force toward healing and that each partner holds an important piece of the relationship puzzle.

Addiction rarely emerges overnight—it's a continuum, quietly shifting from a seemingly harmless outlet to a consuming force that reshapes priorities, strains relationships, and challenges your sense of self. If you've recently noticed your alcohol use, gambling, substance use, or other addictive behaviors are taking on a life of their own, you’re not alone. I help people navigate this shift. Through our work, we’ll uncover the roots of your challenges and the strengths that empower change. You’ll gain tools to manage temptations, build healthier coping, and restore balance.
