I have openings to see clients in Chicago in-person and online through SpringSource Center, where I'm the Director of Outpatient. I work with those who struggle with disordered eating, substance use challenges, compulsive behaviors, codependent patterns, and who live with neurodivergent and queer realities. I additionally work with abuse survivors. I lead with compassion, rapport-building, humor, and discernment, assisting clients in identifying goals, where they are stuck, and we find the strategies to get through those barriers to find lasting change. I also see CA clients remotely through my practice Ride The Wave Recovery.
My clinical work is systems- and social justice-oriented; while I use a number of theoretical and practical approaches, I strive to always be aware of persons within context (families, groups, institutions, communities, societies, etc), and I approach both individuals and groups with this in mind. I additionally work from a harm reduction model.
I have extensive experience working with complexities relative to clients who are peri/post & menopausal, clients who are prescribed GLP-1 medications, clients with eating disorder histories who are also neurodivergent, among other presenting complexities. I take an individualized and evidence-based approach to all clients, emphasizing reality, not dogma.
