Therapy is the practice of finding opportunities for growth, while identifying the circumstances we can alter and finding peace with those we cannot. I use a systemic approach to help clients integrate their past experiences and relationships with where they are currently, in order to help them move forward with greater intention and well-being. This can be done through verbal expression, creative arts, play, movement, and writing. My approach is compassionate, curious, creative, affirming, and strength-based. I prioritize the therapist-client relationship in order to foster trust and safety, and help support change.

I obtained my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy at The Family Institute at Northwestern University. My training is in Integrative Systemic Therapy. I am also a Prepare/Enrich Facilitator, for working with pre-martial couples, and completed Level One in the Theraplay & Marschak Interaction Method, for working with families.

I use play-based techniques and tools to support children in expressing themselves in developmentally feasible ways. For adults who are divorced or separated, I offer co-parenting therapy. I strive to affirm LGBTQIA+, non-monogamy, kink, and abortion affirming care and utilize a sex-positive approach to therapy. I am open to discussing short-term options.
