We're all struggling with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, neurodiversity, identity issues, low self-esteem, stress, and advocating for ourselves. Life is hard, AND we can still have some level of control over how we're deciding to care for ourselves and others. That's where I may be able to help - sometimes we get too zoomed in and we need another supportive voice in our lives. As a queer, biracial human, I appreciate and celebrate the identities of my clients and acknowledge that they are the experts in their lives and I'm honored to be a part of their journey.

I see clients in-person and over Telehealth.
Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in relationships, life direction, or their sense of self, even when things appear fine on the outside. You may find yourself questioning who you are, repeating familiar relationship patterns, struggling to trust yourself, or feeling disconnected from parts of yourself. Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and begin moving forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Therapy can be a slow and, at times, uncomfortable process, but it can also be extremely rewarding. While I work with people with all backgrounds, I am particularly interested in working with clients who are experiencing life changes, learning to understand and embrace their identity, perfectionism, and those struggling with self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and trauma. Creating an authentic relationship of mutual trust and respect is crucial to me in my work. I look to support clients in developing tools to navigate life and unpack life experiences.

We live in a stressful, complex, and contradictory world. And though you do your best to cope with the chaos around you, sometimes it gets overwhelming. The chaos can make you question your decisions - sometimes it can even make you question who and how you are. Why are there so many obstacles to the life and relationships you want? Shouldn’t there be a clearer path? It can be so hard to navigate through the noise. Craving to connect more fully but end up feeling needy and more alone. Wanting to feel safe, but unease grows and bleeds through. Striving to be authentic, but there is so much noise it is hard to hear your true self.

As a licensed social worker from the University of Chicago Crown Family School of Social Work, I have a wide range of experience in different counseling therapies. I primarily work with DBT and ACT approaches within a psychotherapy setting. My life experience with multiple alternative communities has inspired me to counsel those within such communities who might hesitate to engage in therapy. A key focus of mine is on those who identify more with their online lives than their day-to-day ones.

I believe therapy serves two main functions: change and healing. Therapeutic change occurs when we take control of our lives and our stories. In therapy, I encourage you to incorporate your strengths into a larger conversation about who you are, who you want to be, and how you can get there. Where change comes from transformation; healing comes from liberation. Therapy provides liberation from individual wounds; however, therapy must also be a space for healing and liberation from the effects of systemic oppression.
