I specialize in working with couples struggling with intimacy and connection, navigating neurodiversity, parenting, infertility, and the challenges of the perinatal period.
Are you frustrated with the same old arguments? Do you feel unsupported or unheard, as if nothing you do is ever “enough”? Perhaps you long for the closeness and ease that once defined your relationship, before life’s stresses like kids, demanding jobs, or tough decisions took over. The good news is that it’s possible to rediscover those feelings of connection, joy, and understanding. My practice is dedicated to helping couples and families break free from unproductive cycles of conflict and emotional distance, and instead, build secure, loving relationships.

I have specialized training in sex and couples therapy from Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine and perinatal mental health from Rush University Medical Center.
You may be carrying the weight of complex trauma, painful relationship patterns, or the exhaustion and chronic stress that comes from navigating systems never built for you. Intimacy might feel confusing, authentic pleasure and connection distant, and emotions challenging. If you’re navigating this world with multiple marginalized identities on top of complicated family dynamics, unfulfilling romantic relationships, or transitions around parenthood, you likely feel overwhelmed and disconnected from your needs. You deserve a place where where you can heal deeply and don’t have to explain or shrink parts of who you are.

I am particularly passionate about perinatal mental health, including pregnancy/infant loss, infertility, postpartum, and adjustment to parenthood.

Congratulations! Finding a therapist is a big step. I help clients navigate major life transitions: starting over in work or love, becoming a parent, managing anxiety, or redefining who they are. Change can be incredibly hard, but I believe growth happens when we embrace it together.
