Life seems like it’s in constant motion. Without taking moments, we may not be realizing the changes that are taking place in life. Our bodies are wise and tend to attune to our experiences and significant events with our emotions. In attempts to explain thoughts or feelings, discomfort may be rising within you. You may not have words for it all, but your body is telling you something through emotions. It would be a privilege to sit with you to navigate through and process your experiences along with anything else you made need.

Hello! I’m glad you’re here! In hopes of helping you in your process of finding a therapist, I offer you this insight into how I approach what I love: supporting people in creating paths through challenge toward transformation. While I draw from several therapeutic modalities, I always prioritize your lived experience and I approach therapy as a collaborative space. In my practice, I consider how the systems in which we live impact us, and I approach healing and growth holistically.

I personally know how much stress can come from seeking counseling, so I will ensure to create a safe and holding environment that will allow for you to feel as stress-free as possible. I utilize psychodynamic skills, narrative, CBT, solution-focused, multicultural, and client-centered techniques to help you overcome challenges you come to therapy with and to ensure you feel as comfortable as possible sharing these challenges. I have experience working with PTSD, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, OCD, and the LGBTQ+ Community. I am currently accepting requests for therapy in-person and via secure video sessions on VSee, doxy.

I help my clients including adults, adolescents, and families, to find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can know themselves as peaceful, complete, whole, and safe

I am drawn to working with people who want to be more present in their lives–people striving, and perhaps struggling, to move toward connection and vulnerability with others (and oneself) and away from self-judgment and critique. I work with people college-age and older, and my areas of interest are anxiety, depression, life transitions, sleep disorders/insomnia, chronic health issues, relationships, dating, ADHD, and issues related to family-of-origin.

There are numerous reasons why an individual makes a decision to seek therapy. From my perspective, the key factor in being able to examine your individual reasons is based upon the relationship between yourself and your therapist. I offer a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment in order to explore your individual needs with a commitment to placing the highest priority on your care. We will work collaboratively to identify and address your concerns in order to foster meaningful change in your life. My clinical experience has included working not only with individuals but couples, families and groups.

Were happy to help with complex differential diagnoses associated with development in early childhood, adolescent and adults. We assist with understanding the complexity to guide medication management and future treatment in regards to developmental factors, traumatic brain injuries, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder and Asperger's disorder.

We all come to therapy for different reasons and at different phases in life. It is my commitment as a clinician to hear you and validate your unique experience with a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental approach. Together, we will identify and challenge the distorted thoughts, core beliefs, and dysfunctional behavior patterns that are keeping you stuck in a narrative and place that no longer serve you. We will explore how fear of the unknown and avoidance of discomfort often mask opportunities for connection, healing, and personal growth, and prevent realization of your full potential.

Are you afraid you are slowly losing your significant other or having vicious fights and don't know how to resolve them? Are you having thoughts or feelings that disturb you and you don't know who to talk to? Are you haunted by the past and you can't seem to move on?

Welcome! We are a small private practice in Chicago providing in-office and telehealth therapy. In therapy, our priority is you. We will help you discover what is best for you and you specifically. When you work with one of our therapists, it is imperative that you feel welcomed and accepted by them with exactly who you are and where you are in life. We recognize that humans are complex, multilayered, and are affected in numerous ways. We will work with you to sort out the "messiness" that our emotions can sometimes feel like, so you can learn what you truly need and how to get it.

I am a compassionate therapist who believes in empowering individuals to reach their full potential. I am a multi-heritage individual with a blended family. I understand the beauty and complexities of navigating personal cultural identity. It takes courage to engage in therapy. My goal is to create a safe space for you to show up as your whole self. Through colonization and oppression, individuals have become disconnected from their bodies. As a trauma informed therapist, I will guide you in becoming more aware of your body's response to situations. I do this through mindfulness and other forms of therapy, such as EMDR.

Do you feel overwhelmed by changes in your life, disconnected, or that stress is blocking your ability to be who you really are? Are you exhausted, spreading your energy too thin? Do memories or fear rob your ability to be in the present moment? Allow me to help you reboot your spirit and your self-appreciation. Together we can tease out what needs to change to help you gain control and connect with your own power. I use cutting edge techniques that help you highlight your strengths, lower stress levels and get you moving in the right direction.
