Life can be filled with daunting amounts of unknown, often taking an unexpected and nonlinear route. When fear, stress, and feelings of anxiety overwhelm us, it can be difficult to know how to handle whatever comes next. Deep, meaningful connection, with both ourselves and others, can help us to feel supported, less alone, and more fulfilled as we move through the next unknown day. As a relationally-focused and client-centered psychotherapist intern, I want to build a therapeutic connection with you that provides safety, comfort, and space for growth.

I believe at some point, everyone experiences difficulties they cannot resolve through their usual means of coping and problem-solving. I can help you move forward by understanding patterns in your relationships, past experiences, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and how they contribute to your current symptoms and concerns. With this insight, you can then take actions to produce the changes you seek. I'm passionate about helping clients find constructive and realistic solutions that reflect their individual personality and lifestyle.

My therapeutic approach is shaped by three beliefs: (1) regardless of your past and current situation, you are worthy of love and respect, (2) you have inherent strengths, and (3) systemic oppression plays a role in way we think, feel, and behave; therefore, in therapy, it is important to consider the relationship among systemic oppression, mental health and the multiple identities we hold. As a Black and queer person, I believe showing up as your authentic self is brave and healthy. Together, we will create a safe and non-judgmental space as we work through your goals.

Psychoanalytic therapy is unique because it takes up the question of the individual — your particular history, your singular experience, and importantly, what you have to say about it all. We live inside, as well as outside, of the systems that give our lives shape — cultural, family, language systems. I center my listening on your particular experience within these systems. In this way, psychoanalytic work is especially suited to address causes of suffering.

You are a whole person who deserves to be seen, supported, and given access to the tools that can help you thrive through whatever you are going through. I am both sex and religion positive and enjoy working with people who are struggling, or have strengths that they’d like to access, in either area. My main passions include men’s mental health, relationships, and intimacy and I believe that the greatest change in all of these things comes from working on it with others— working with couples and families is the way I most enjoy tackling issues!

In the often-painful experience of symptoms, something speaks through the body that is hard to put into words. Dreams, slips of the tongue, and everyday accidents can point to the experience of something working in us that we do not know. In listening to you, I pay close attention to the unconscious which appears in these and other coded signs in our bodies, our speech, and our dreams, but only you can tell me about what these signs mean to you and how they relate to your history and experience.

Do you have a child or teenager that is displaying difficult behaviors or moods at school or home? Have they experienced some adverse event/s such as abuse, trauma, or loss of a loved one? A loss of interest in things they once enjoyed? Are they lacking in relational supports or friendship with same-aged peers? I have worked in the Chicago school system for four years and specialize in working with children and adolescents who need support to work through symptoms that stem from previous hardships, improve communication and emotional regulation, and to promote optimal mental health.

One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story! I believe that everyone should feel seen, heard, and affirmed! It is incredibly natural to feel overwhelmed in our present world. Yet, life is way too short to surrender to unhealthy relationships, self-esteem issues, rough life transitions, trauma, grief, anger, depression, or anxiety… to name a few. I strive to help you achieve whatever solutions and life change you are looking for while finding purpose in all your life areas and experiencing yourself in new ways. I am dedicated to keeping couples healthy, relationships loving, and individuals balanced.

If you're feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, discouraged by struggles relating to disordered eating, anxiety or depression, I am an enthusiastic, dedicated and non-judgmental therapist who would feel privileged to provide you with a safe space and useful coping tools in a friendly therapeutic setting. Intense emotions and obsessive thinking often take us out of the present moment and slow our progress towards a life of passion, presence and purpose. If you are simply looking for a safe place to process general life stressors or relationship challenges, therapy can be specifically tailored to your unique goals.

I believe it's important to have a place where you can feel safe and comfortable when in therapy. I try to provide that for my clients. There is usually a point in everyone's life where they need a little extra help and guidance to deal with depression, anxiety or stressful life events. The best thing you can do for yourself and your family is to get that help and work on improving your quality of life. You won't regret making yourself a priority even with all the other demands on your time.

Are you feeling down, or experiencing negative thoughts? Do you struggle to find a sense of calm? Therapy can help. Are you dealing with relationship difficulties, struggles to balance career and personal life, grief, loss or trauma, adapting to health problems, or searching for personal meaning in life? Sorting out and talking through these issues, along with developing adaptive coping strategies can make a positive difference. As the therapeutic process develops, you may also explore your personal history in relation to current stressors, and develop a greater sense of self understanding and discover ways you want to tweak some "old ways of doing things."

My goal is to help you uncover your true potential, and lead a life that is worth enjoying, and therapy is a healthy support system for creating such positive change in one's life. While we can't change difficult situations or the past, we can work together to understand and resolve challenges in your life. Long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions may hold you back from experiencing a more fulfilling, more meaningful life - we can change that!
