The quote “Be you, love you, all ways, always” by Alex Elle has always resonated with me. I have noticed when clients are able to be kinder and more accepting of their own journey, when they're able to look at and respond to themselves, they would to their best friend in the same situation. My approach to therapy is meeting the client where they are at and making a personalized plan to minimize feelings of overwhelmedness to help them accomplish their goals. My therapeutic style is approachable, collaborative, and creative. I incorporate art, music, movement, and other imaginative exercises in my practice, empowering my clients.
My calling is working with folks from the LGBTQIA+ community and those experiencing transitional phases in life. I specialize in end-of-life care, caregiver support, chronic illnesses, grief, women's health, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I have experience utilizing person-centered care, strengths perspective care, mindfulness, CBT, and DBT.
My goal is to create and nurture an environment where clients can leave their harmful self-perceptions at the door, removing roadblocks to gentleness. I provide therapy services in the office or through Telehealth and primarily serve Chicago and the northern areas of Chicago - Evanston, Wilmette, Glencoe, Glenview, Highland Park, Skokie, Northbrook, Skokie.
