I help people better understand who they are, where they are stuck and how they can move forward in a healthy way. Anxiety, depression, grief, career counseling, and emotional regulation are just a few of the issues I work with often. As a former athlete, I also work with many athletes whether it be performance pressures or figuring what your plans are when you retire. I have experienced lots of wins, failures, and know firsthand how challenging being an athlete is.

Hello! I earned my MA from Northwestern University and have been honing my skills in private practice since 2018. I use a relaxed and person-centered approach to help adults of all backgrounds authentically navigate the complexities of life. In a non-judgmental space, we will prioritize what is important to you. We will increase self-awareness by exploring relationship patterns, attachment styles, defense mechanisms, and meaningful memories. We will help daily life feel more manageable with mindfulness practice, communication/conflict management skills, and self-compassion.

I work with teens and adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, panic attacks, stress, perfectionism, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns. With a background in the arts, I may integrate creative strategies to support healing, self-soothing, and trauma processing. Sessions are warm, collaborative, and often infused with humor. My approach is holistic, relational, and psychodynamic, encouraging active engagement, deeper self-understanding, and a stronger relationship with yourself.

I approach therapy with the belief that everyone deserves to be heard in a safe, non-judgmental environment. I believe that when we are in a quieter, calmer state of being that we can begin to process feelings and understand who we are. Life is difficult, and sometimes we need extra support through difficult events in our life. I'm an advocate for practicing healthy boundaries and self-care so that we can keep our lives in balance.

Anxiety fights dirty.
When anxiety gets out of control, it can feel like a bully, always pushing you around. I get it, I’ve been there. When you’re really in it, you feel stuck and worse still, it can feel like there’s no way out. Constantly living in survival mode doesn’t feel much like living at all. The good news is that you don’t have to face anxiety alone.

Have you been struggling with difficult thoughts or emotions in the aftermath of being neglected by a parent or other caregiver, being threatened, or being actively harmed by another person? Experiences such as these can contribute to a wide range of challenging responses, including – though, certainly far from limited to – difficulties with relationships, self-critical thoughts, disrupted connection with oneself, and feelings of shame. Whatever your particular obstacles may look like, you do not need to tackle them alone.

Sex shouldn’t feel stressful, painful, or disconnected. Are you struggling with intimacy, desire, sexual dysfunction, or painful sex? You don’t have to navigate it alone.

As one of the select few AASECT-certified sex therapists practicing in IL & NY, I offer specialized, evidence-based care in a warm, nonjudgmental space. We address desire discrepancies, loss of intimacy, sexual anxiety, and challenges with pleasure. I also specialize in helping women find relief from sexual pain and pelvic pain.

I work with adults, teens 16+ and couples.
My goal is to help people become their authentic selves on their own terms, unwinding any constraints of previous roles or societal conditioning. By creating a supportive, non-judgmental space, I aim to empower clients to explore their inner world, examine core beliefs, and break free from external pressures, ultimately allowing them to live more fully and authentically. Most importantly, I believe in equality in the therapeutic relationship: you are the expert on your own life, and I’m here to walk alongside you, helping you make sense of what’s going on.

My ideal clients are couples seeking deeper connection and healing. They often struggle with communication breakdowns, unresolved conflict, or disconnection, yet share a desire to grow together. They need a safe, respectful space to repair trust and rebuild understanding. Their goal is a healthier, more balanced relationship. They want support that honors both partners. I believe common values are the key to a successful relationship, and all my practices are based in restorative practices. At this time, I am only seeing couples clients.

I offer in neuro-affirming psychological testing and evaluation for adults. Maybe you've spent years masking, feeling different, or struggling with focus and overwhelm.

I specialize in working with adults seeking clarity about a specific diagnosis, understanding strengths and weaknesses, or gaining insights into patterns of behavior.

Does it feel like you or your relationship are stuck in a cycle that isn't working for you? By recognizing and repairing these patterns, we can cultivate lasting change in our relationship to ourselves and others. Most of my clients want to improve their relationships, sex lives, explore their identities, and move into ways of being that work better for them. I specialize in sex and relationship therapy, enhancing intimacy and desire, improving mismatched libido, out of control sexual behavior, and working through pain or dysfunction, particularly within the queer community.

You look fine on the outside. Maybe you’re even thriving professionally. But inside, you’re exhausted, anxious, or numb. You keep saying “I’m fine” when you’re clearly not. Maybe you’re coping in ways that aren’t helpful - withdrawing from people you love, pushing yourself to exhaustion, or doomscrolling for hours. Maybe you’re going through a life transition and the old version of you doesn’t quite fit anymore. Maybe you feel stuck, but aren’t sure what needs to change - or if you’re even allowed to want more. If you’re ready to stop going through the motions and build a life that feels authentic, let’s talk.

I approach my clinical work with an emphasis on relationships, attachment and the importance of multi-cultural and relational approaches. I understand the value of knowing where a client comes from and where they have been in order to collaboratively develop interventions and approaches that are safe, effective and familiar. I believe that in order to truly help clients they, and I, must understand the context in which they live and learn and that the work we do in the clinical room must be transferable to their everyday life. Many of my clients are seeking guidance on how to engage in and maintain healthy relationships.

From the outside, your life may look stable or even successful. You keep things moving, meet expectations, and show up for others. Yet internally you feel exhausted, disconnected, or caught in cycles of overthinking and relationship anxiety. You may struggle with burnout, past trauma, stress, anxiety, or grief, and find yourself in patterns that leave you feeling misunderstood or alone. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, high achieving adults who learned to rely on themselves early in life. Now they want deeper connection, emotional clarity, and a way to feel more authentic and aligned in their lives and with others.
