I provide sex therapy in person and via telehealth appointments as desired.
I work with folks who are moving thru sexual, or relational, trauma and difficulties. My clients seek to liberate and deepen their identity, relationships, sexuality, being and purpose from fear, limitations, and illusions. They take an active, committed approach to caring for their mind, body, and spirit - and are adventurous, curious, and playful. As a sex and psychedelic therapist, me and my clients live and love perspectives beyond many "norms". Also, not all of my clients identify with the following communities, but as a sex therapist I am particularly experienced with the LGBTQIA+, poly, kinky, and queer communities.

Difficulty managing stress and anxiety is often overwhelming and may lead to health issues, unsatisfactory decision making, conflict in relationships, and an overall poor quality of life. Anxiety, poor stress coping, depression, anger and other difficulties can be rooted in a myriad of complex biological, physiological, and situational causes. Together we can explore the root of your presenting difficulty as a platform for progressive growth. My goal is to assist you in developing your own self-awareness and from there, guide you in organizing your thoughts, actions, and goals towards a healthier and happier way of life.

I offer in person therapy in Logan Square/Avondale, or virtual sessions
It is my belief that the most important life skill any person can have is asking for help. My ambition is to create an environment where my clients can feel safe and at ease doing just that. I work with clients to build a trusted, personal relationship where we can focus on their difficulties and collaborate to discover creative approaches to overcome obstacles, and set goals. I hope to build an honest non-judgmental space where my clients can explore their thoughts and behaviors to better understand themselves, their emotions, and strategize new approaches to cultivate the changes they want to make.

“What does it feel like to take up space?" Space can show up in the way you walk into a room, but what about emotional space in relationships, at work, and within yourself? How much of yourself do you allow to exist? You might be tired of carrying responsibility, not seen for who you are, or performing in relationships just to feel safe or accepted. Softness and belonging are not things you should have to earn. You might have learned to stay vigilant and hide parts of yourself to get through spaces or have been misunderstood. Complexity is welcome here.

Sessions are virtual or in-person so you can be who you are, where you are, without the limits of travel or location.
If you are searching for LGBT counseling or a queer-centric therapist who will meet you as you are and challenge you to move forward, you are in the right place. This is not a clinic. It is a living room for clarity where conversation is direct and the focus is always on progress.

I work primarily with young adults and adults, supporting them through anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress management, identity development, self-esteem challenges, and acculturation or cultural stress. I’m drawn to this stage of life because it often involves navigating questions of identity, significant transitions, and personal growth, which align closely with my clinical interests and strengths. I aim to provide a supportive and understanding space where clients can explore their experiences, reflect on challenges, and develop skills to manage stress and build confidence.

I offer in-person therapy in Chicago and virtual sessions across Illinois.
I work with thoughtful, self-aware adults in Chicago and throughout Illinois who have tried therapy before and still feel stuck. Many understand themselves intellectually, yet continue to struggle with loneliness, anxiety, disconnection, or harsh self-criticism. They may notice patterns of self-isolation or difficulty sustaining closeness, and feel frustrated that insight alone hasn't led to lasting change.

Does it feel like no one in your life gets you and you’re all alone in the world despite being surrounded by people? I know how isolating that experience can be. You must be exhausted and wondering how to turn things around for yourself and your relationships.
