Let's Connect (773) 692-8805

I am currently accepting new clients I offer in-person and telehealth therapy. I help people navigate their lives with understanding for who they are in a complex world. I want to know who you are, what systems and barriers are getting in your way, and how I can support you in exploring a path that is right for you. I am passionate about exploring identity and the way the world sees us, how we see ourselves, and how it shapes the challenges we face. We strive to be our ideal self. I work with people navigating issues around race, relationships, gender, sexuality, and personal growth.

I specialize in supporting Black men and adolescents in becoming the best version of themselves.I draw on years of both lived and professional experience, I work with BIPOC individuals, PTSD survivors, those exploring gender issues, LGBTQ+ and questioning clients. I affirm diverse relationship styles, including kink and CNM.

My approach focuses on empowering clients to lead their own journey, for my part, I can provide space, tools and interventions that set you up to support your goals. Having a space where you can be seen, understood, and feel safe is so important for growth healing. I am happy to answer any questions you may have in a free intro phone consultation.

I use liberation psychoanalytic theory to help clients break free from the 'musts' and 'oughts' that can feel restrictive. My goal is to support clients in creating a path that truly feels right for them. This approach involves exploring past experiences to understand how they shape current relationship patterns and behaviors, empowering clients to make choices aligned with their own values
