Congratulations! Just by thinking about making a change in your life, your journey to living a fully empowered and authentic life has already begun.

The late comedian Harris Wittels once said, "we are all wonderful and horrible and figuring it out"; this statement is the basis for my approach to therapy. Before I decided to pursue a career in psychotherapy, I worked in comedy - rising in the administrative ranks at the famed Second City theater in Chicago. Working in the arts taught me compassion, creativity, the power of collaboration, and cultivated in me the ability to improvise. I'm excited to meet you where you are and hope to have the honor of walking alongside you wherever you lead. You are deserving of peace and joy - we can find them together.
