You deserve a safe space where you can openly explore the emotional and reactive issues that are weighing on you. I offer that space with sensitivity, empathy, and understanding. This is crucial for delving into the profound depths of your unique inner world and fostering enhanced self-awareness, which can then serve as your compass for navigating your outer world.
Together we will collaborate to help you realize your full potential, and embrace personal growth and healing. This will entail not only self-discovery, but also self-acceptance and empowerment. We will draw upon your innate resilience and strengths, ultimately guiding you toward a life that is more authentic and whole.
I bring not only my education to the task, but also a wealth of life experience, including my own healing.

Clients who enter my therapeutic space tend to be ones who struggle with anxiety, depression, and interpersonal trauma related to narcissistic abuse by family members and others. This abuse can include lack of empathy, gaslighting, blaming, constant criticism, and intruding upon boundaries. Sessions tend to be devoted to assisting Clients in anchoring into themselves for their own healing.

I consider my theoretical orientation to be analytical psychology, otherwise known as Jungian psychology, as a foundation to a person-centered and trauma-informed approach. My internship at the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute and my own therapy contributed significantly to this orientation.
