Hello! I am a psychotherapist in Chicago, IL specializing in body image concerns, disordered eating, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. With lived eating disorder experience, I understand the impact of diet culture on our relationships with food and our own bodies and am passionate about dismantling the systems that uphold these insidious ideals. As an LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent ally, I welcome folks of all backgrounds and identities into the therapeutic space. My clinical approach is defined by warmth, nonjudgement, and a touch of humor to create a safe space of growth and reflection for each and every one of my clients.
As a Health At Every Size informed clinician, I take a weight-inclusive, anti-diet approach to wellness and am committed to walking alongside clients on their path to self-acceptance. While I specialize in work with disordered eating and body image concerns, I have experience with a wide array of diagnoses including both mood and personality disorders.
Using an eclectic approach of ACT, DBT, and feminist theory, I tailor treatment to the individualized needs of each client. You don't have to struggle alone. Reach out today to set up a free 15-minute discovery call to see if my therapeutic style and personality align with your needs. Everyone deserves the chance to recover. Let's make it happen together!
