Let's Connect (312) 471-9061

You may be facing trauma, anxiety, identity concerns, childhood attachment wounds, depression, or stress—and wondering: How do I live in a way that feels true? Together, we’ll move beyond old cycles and heal at the root—building trust in yourself, improving relationships, and creating a life shaped by your values. As a clinical psychologist with diverse training and a longtime personal Buddhist practice, I guide clients in developing practical, solution-focused skills that support presence, clarity, momentum, and deep insight into root-level issues. I work with adults, teenagers, college students, and couples.

My style is grounded and collaborative. We'll start with the concerns that bring you in, and as you’re ready, we can explore deeper patterns and roots. I integrate mindfulness, behavioral tools, and liberation psychology, drawing on over a decade of personal mindfulness practice and diverse training to offer you steady presence and a practical approach.

Therapy should feel like a safe place to breathe, not a burden. My goal is to make the process clear, solution-focused, supportive, and centered on what matters most to you. If you’re ready to begin, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Reach out by phone or email to schedule a consultation, or visit my website to learn more.
