Teletherapy for Northbrook, IL

Maybe you have been living with depression and anxiety or feeling outcasted in life for as long as you can remember. Perhaps you're an adult who was recently given or is self-diagnosed as neurodivergent. You could be an individual, couple, or polycule seeking out new ways to build and maintain healthy intimacy or looking to explore your varying personal and sexual identities. No matter what brings you to therapy, I firmly believe that human connection is at the center of each of our past, present, and future lived experiences.

I aim to help you acknowledge your current challenges, embark on a journey of self-discovery, and cultivate self-love and acceptance. My true passion lies in helping you uncover profound insights, fostering a deeper connection with you. You will leave each session feeling validated and truly heard.

SEX THERAPY. How do we rebuild trust after this? Why are we struggling to connect with each other sexually? You may hear yourself asking these questions and not know where to begin or how to overcome the emotional distance you feel between yourself and your partner. I am passionate about working with couples and individuals desiring to move towards connection. For some couples or individuals it may be hard to connect because of previous wounds you carry from other relationships. For others it may be that it is hard to talk openly and honestly to each other or maybe pornography, infidelity, substance use has eroded trust.

I believe that every person possesses innate creativity and that art can serve as a powerful tool for communication and self-exploration within the therapeutic space. As an emerging art therapist and counselor, I seek to build a collaborative and affirming relationship with my clients to encourage the journey of discovery, healing, and personal growth. I use an eclectic approach, incorporating existentialist, Adlerian, and person-centered theories from an anti-oppressive and liberatory lens to support clients in building skills and gaining insight.

Whether through individuals, couples, or family counseling, I join with my clients on the path to wellness. In meeting my clients where they are, I work to provide a safe and therapeutic environment in which to assist in meeting their goals. I strive to empower my clients through strength-based counseling approaches to foster independence, responsibility, and self-regulation.
