Therapy can be an opportunity to explore patterns in your life and relationships without judgment. As a therapist, I show up with warmth, humor and affirmation, and work collaboratively with you toward self-reflection, self-compassion, and growth. My goal in individual and relationship therapy is to support you to learn more about yourself in the world— what’s shaped you, how you connect to others, and what stands in the way of where you’d like to be. I want you to feel safe to explore what brings you to therapy, and to feel understood as you develop new insights and tools to navigate life’s challenges.
I am a licensed clinical social worker, licensed doctor of occupational therapy (OT), and certified sexuality OT. I have an integrative approach and my work often focuses on identity exploration, relationships, sexuality, self-worth, and life transitions. I especially enjoy working with folks who are LGBTQ+ and those exploring their sexuality as adults.
It can be overwhelming to search for a therapist, and to try to anticipate who you might feel connected to. If you live in IL, OH, or FL and you’re curious to explore if we might be a good fit, reach out or visit my website to set up a free 15-minute phone consultation.
