Sometimes life leaves you feeling stretched too thin, as if no matter how much you give, there is never quite enough left for yourself. You may find yourself exhausted, stressed, or questioning how you will manage to keep going. Life transitions and relationship struggles can leave you feeling disconnected, uncertain, and in need of support. You don't have to face these challenges alone. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and identities and strive to foster an inclusive, affirming space where every person feels seen, heard, and respected. I offer services on a sliding scale and on a limited no cost basis.
I am a counselor in training, currently pursuing my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Northwestern University. Under the direct supervision of a licensed mental health clinician, I work with adults on a sliding scale basis, navigating stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and other mental health challenges.
My approach is integrative and always tailored to the individual. I draw from client-centered, strengths-based, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and existential methods. In therapy, I create a supportive and judgment-free environment where you can feel safe to explore your experiences, build resilience, and uncover your strengths.
