Adults Therapists in Evanston, IL

I collaborate with people on their journeys of healing, discovery, and growth. Life is often full of difficult experiences, complicated relationships, and painful moments. When you find yourself processing and sorting through these realities it can be very helpful to find a space to safely do so with a fully engaged person. In my work with people, I collaborate to create that environment so that together we can explore your unique route to healing. I typically work with adults and young adults who are experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns, as well as those who are looking to grow.

I believe therapy takes on many forms and is not a cookie-cutter process. That is the sort of approach I take with individuals who took the courageous step toward therapy for their healing journey. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative and therapeutic space for you and your goals. You know yourself and your life more than I do, so I value hearing your story and providing you with support and tools to get you where you want to be. To better tailor to those goals, I focus on an integrative approach of using a systems, strengths-based, or client-centered approach to therapy
