Codependency Therapists in Chicago, IL
I have a deep gratitude for all the patients I've known whose lives have been transformed. That's what makes it all worthwhile. My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative. We work together and as soon as I have a realization that I think can help you I will share it with you so we can use it to move forward. We draw from creativity, science, spirit and all of our mutual resources to succeed. Speaking about yourself opens up new pathways in your mind. Progress and change can then happen at any age and I'm there to see that it does.

I also have a special interest in helping couples navigate the unique dynamics that come with ADHD in relationships.

I work with those struggling with the aftermath of trauma. Trauma is like a wound that doesn’t always show on the outside but can leave lasting emotional scars. It happens when we experience something deeply distressing or overwhelming—whether that’s a single event, like an accident, or ongoing stress like abuse or neglect. Trauma impacts our sense of safety, trust, and self-worth. It can show up in different ways—flashbacks, anxiety, feeling numb, or having trouble trusting others. As a trauma therapist trained in EMDR, I specialize in helping individuals process their painful experiences & make sense of what doesn't make sense.

I believe that the work done in therapy can reconnect us with our true selves, with our goals, and with a renewed excitement for the future.

Relationships can be complicated. You may find yourself struggling to express yourself and to feel heard. You find yourself avoiding conflict or feel like you’re walking on eggshells. Resentment and emotional distance are building up from trying to gain respect and understanding. You crave intimacy but the emotional distance makes it feel unbearable. You can have a healthy relationship with yourself and others. I became a therapist because I have seen in my personal experiences people who have been hurt or used. I am dedicated to changing ongoing cycles of suffering and hidden wounds. I recognize that relationships take hard work.
